7 Foodie Reasons to Stay at the New Hotel McCoy

Oct 5, 20182 min read

Local and art-focused Hotel McCoy is hosting its grand opening on Saturday, October 13 at 720 W. Silverlake Rd.

With such a strong focus on locality, local food and drink naturally come into the equation. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, here are seven foodie reasons to stay at the Hotel McCoy.

American Eat Co. will deliver from their restaurants directly to your room with no delivery fee for orders $15 or higher. The lobby will offer a self-serve kiosk, and a mobile app is in the works for guests to order from their smartphones. This ranges from ice cream to pizza to poke bowls and more.

Joe Pagac’s Sonoran hot dog mural will be the next hot local selfie spot.

The hip bar offers a wide range of local beer and wine options, which you can enjoy by the pool. The bar is open to the public, but the pool is for hotel guests and special events.

Hotel McCoy is an easy drive to many of the best taco joints in town such as Tacos Apson, Carnitas La Yoca, Taqueria Pico de Gallo, and more. American Eat Co. and Monsoon Chocolate are also neighbors.

The next morning, enjoy complimentary breakfast with Exo Coffee, tea from Maya Tea, and an oatmeal bar with over 20 toppings. Go “Elvis” with peanut butter, pecans, brown sugar, sea salt, banana chips, and bacon bits.

The post continued, “we have met some great friends who have become family to us.” Tucson Foodie first visited the restaurant in 2017, when it operated as IOU Sushi IV.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
