Tony Ray's Tucson Luxury Little Black Book

A personally curated guide to exceptional home design, dining, wellness, shopping and luxury living throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona.

The places that make living in Tucson feel exceptional.

Finding the right home is only the beginning. The people who design the landscape, automate the lighting, source the perfect piece of art or create an unforgettable evening become part of how that home—and this city—feels. This guide brings those discoveries together in one thoughtfully edited collection.

Some are Tony Ray's longtime personal favorites. Others are carefully researched specialists and destinations worth exploring. Every entry will be clearly identified, so you always know the difference.

The editorial standard

Selected for relevance, quality and the experience.

No business can buy Tony Ray's personal endorsement.

Personal Picks are places Tony Ray knows and confidently recommends. The Luxury Shortlist includes carefully researched businesses that appear especially relevant to discerning homeowners and visitors but may still need firsthand review. Services, ownership and availability can change, so readers should independently confirm that any business is the right fit for their needs.

A local point of view

The recommendations you would text a trusted Tucson friend for.

This is where Tony Ray's personal stories will make the guide distinctly his: why a particular patio is perfect at sunset, which gallery is worth an unhurried afternoon, where to send a client for a special celebration, and which home specialists have earned a place in his phone.

As each category is completed, it will become a substantial, useful guide—not a thin list of names.
