7 Foodie Reasons to Stay at the New Hotel McCoy

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.

The Kitchenette features modern appliances with a vintage aesthetic. Perfect for a home-cooked meal or cute mini-photoshoot.

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.

Each reservation comes with your choice of a glass of AZ wine (red, white or rosé) or a pint of Tucson craft beer. 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.

@Bktacos made @Nytimes’ list of 41 standout Mexican restaurants across the country. Published Aug. 13, the list was compiled by reporters, editors and photographers who spent more than a year traveling the U.S. 

BK was the only Tucson restaurant included. Writer Bill Esparza highlighted its combination of Sonora-style carne asada and Sonoran hot dogs, a pairing he noted is distinct to Arizona. Benjamin and Karel Galaz, originally from Nacozari, Sonora, opened the restaurant in 1994.

Congratulations, @bktacos!🎉
