The resort is unpacking something nostalgic for the holiday season.
For a limited time, Loews Ventana Canyon Resort will be featuring an exclusive Bellhop Bar from 5 – 7 p.m. from Tuesday, October 23 to mid-January 2019.
Once you’ve heard the daily ritual of the opening bell, travel back in time as you step towards the bar in the Cascade Lounge. On the outside, it’s clearly a vintage retrofitted steamer trunk, but behind its doors, you’ll be embraced with aged apothecary-style bottles — waiting to pour a locally handcrafted drink.
“We’ve utilized agave and prickly pear syrup from our 100-acre Sonoran desert property to bring you the unique taste of the southwest,” said Martin Charlton, Director of Food and Beverage.
The pre-batched cocktails will be mixed with either Angel’s Envy Bourbon or Hangar One Vodka, and the red or sparkling wine comes from Buena Vista Winery, which is one of the oldest wineries in the U.S.
Featured Cocktails
- Arizona Old Fashioned – Angel’s Envy Bourbon, Agavero, Cointreau, and cherry bitters
- Sunset Prickly Martini – Hangar One Vodka, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice, agave, and prickly pear syrup
Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is located at 7000 N. Resort Dr. For more information on the Bellhop Bar, visit loewshotels.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
