Canyon Ranch Tucson Recognized by MICHELIN Guide
Canyon Ranch Tucson, located in the stunning Sonoran Desert, has achieved a remarkable milestone by being named the only resort in the Americas nominated for the inaugural MICHELIN Wellness Award. This prestigious recognition highlights the top five wellness hotels worldwide, as chosen by MICHELIN Inspectors. The accolade reflects Canyon Ranch's long-standing legacy as a leader in wellness, providing transformative experiences for the body, mind, and spirit.
The MICHELIN Guide describes Canyon Ranch as "the original wellness resort," noting its innovative approach that blends cutting-edge medical technology with outdoor activities in the beautiful landscape of Arizona. The facility is not only dedicated to traditional luxury but also emphasizes genuine wellness with unique, immersive experiences designed to cultivate sustainable healthy habits.
Canyon Ranch Tucson offers a plethora of amenities and services, establishing itself as a leader in the wellness industry since its founding in 1979. The resort boasts one of the largest spas in the U.S., comprehensive fitness and medical facilities, nutritious dining options, and serene gardens. It is a haven for guests looking to rejuvenate and reconnect with themselves away from their hectic daily routines.
Mark Rivers, CEO of Canyon Ranch, emphasized the significance of this recognition, stating, "Wellness is more than an amenity; it's the foundation of every guest's stay, cultivating health, joy, and connection." He further acknowledged that the acknowledgment from MICHELIN is a testament to Canyon Ranch's commitment to enhancing guests' lives through integrated health, fitness, and personal growth initiatives.
The MICHELIN Wellness Award aims to honor establishments that elevate wellness efforts beyond traditional spa and fitness offerings. Canyon Ranch has achieved this, receiving three MICHELIN keys, the highest rating, for both its Tucson and Woodside, California locations. Its Lenox facility in Massachusetts has earned two keys, showcasing a consistent level of excellence across the brand.
Canyon Ranch’s ongoing evolution includes the introduction of new specialized retreats, continuously reinvesting in its facilities to inspire guests. Visitors can explore numerous outdoor activities, engage with health experts, and find spiritual sanctuary on their journeys.
Looking ahead, the winner of the MICHELIN Wellness Award will be revealed on October 8, 2025, during a prestigious event that will also showcase the MICHELIN Keys for the best hotels in the world. As Canyon Ranch continues to lead the charge in redefining wellness, it stands poised for future accolades and achievements.
