Two days at @Hiltonelcon felt like the ultimate staycation. Between the pools, hot spring and cold plunge, water slide, yoga, live music, complimentary bike rentals, and their nostalgic āSummer Rewindā experience, there was always something to do. We never left the resort.
The highlight at their on-site restaurant, Epazote Kitchen & Cocktails, was the Pollo Con Rajas - perfectly cooked chicken over a rich creamed poblano, onion, and corn mestizaje. And if youāre at their Sundance CafĆ© for breakfast, get the pozole. Itās made from a family recipe that became such a guest favorite it earned a permanent spot on the menu.
Although El Conquistador licenses the Hilton brand, itās owned and operated by a local company. The culinary team sources much of its meat and produce from Arizona.
Whether youāre planning a weekend getaway or just looking for an incredible dinner with Catalina Mountain views, this spot is worth adding to your list. šµš
