Hotel Overview

Centrally located in town and within walking distance of restaurants, the Best Western Inn of Payson, Payson, Arizona, is a relaxing base in the cool mountain country, with an indoor pool and hot tub and a new on-site exercise facility.

The setting puts the trailshttps://home.bwhhotelgroup.com/assets/icons/Approve_Icon.svg, lakes, and pine forests of Rim Country right at hand, an easy escape from the desert heat of the valley below. Cool summer days and crisp mountain evenings draw weekenders up from Phoenix, and local dining sits just a short walk away.

Payson sits in the pine-scented high country of central Arizona, the gateway to Rim Country beneath the towering escarpment of the Mogollon Rim, a landscape the novelist Zane Grey loved and wrote about. Just to the north, in a canyon of Pine Creek, stands Tonto Natural Bridge, believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world, its arch rising some 180 feet over a tunnel you can hike beneath.
