Vanity Fair gossiped that the former editor of French Vogue, Joan Juliet Buck, supposedly prefers the Arizona Inn to Hotel Du Cap. "A (1930s) Spanish-colonial fantasy of 86 rooms on 14 palm-studded acres...that feels like an intimate version of the Beverly Hills Hotel," says the magazine.

Lots of buzz about this new hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. Tatler says that "sex is everywhere," referring to the Mondrian Scottsdale's pool/spa vibe. Wallpaper stuck to its architectural roots and highlighted designer Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz's use of a "Garden of Eden" theme for the hotel's decor. No matter how you look at it, it's hot!

Buzzy modern Mexican restaurant in Tucson, Arizona, according to The New York Times. "Don’t be put off by [Cafe Poca Casa's] location (in an ugly office building) or the décor (a vain attempt to import some glam L.A. style). The chef Suzana Davila has attracted national attention for her novel take on Mexican cuisine, which emphasizes fresh and regional. Try the daily sampler (La Plato Poca Cosa) of three dishes chosen by the chef. It usually has an exotic mole and perhaps a zinger like a vegetarian tamale with pineapple salsa." [{NYT] Cafe Poca Casa's lunch menu is cheaper than its dinnner one. Click here for more cool Tuscon travel tips in the January 2010 NY Times article, 36 hours in Tucson.
