El Chorro Lodge, a Landmark in Paradise Valley

by Russ Lyonrealty Nestled on 11 acres in the heart of prime Paradise Valley, Arizona real estate, the storied El Chorro Lodge is renowned for its historic charm and magnificent setting. Built in 1934 by well-known local businessman John C. Lincoln, this legendary landmark is snuggled in the sensational shadows of Camelback and Mummy mountains and was originally designed and used as the Judson School for Girls. In fact, the original schoolroom currently serves as the main bar of this iconic restaurant.

El Chorro Lodge was open for over 50 years (from 1952 until 2009), before it was closed for a complete renovation focused on the preservation of its romantic allure and ambience. Upon reopening in February of 2010, patrons were delighted to see expanded alfresco fireplaces, gardens, lounges and even a bocce ball lawn had been incorporated into the new design. Both the interior and exterior d?cor are focused on capturing the rich history of both El Chorro Lodge as well as the entire state of Arizona.

Fresh, organic and locally-grown ingredients are a mainstay of the restaurant?s new menu, and while there are a wealth of healthy lifestyle selections available, many longtime valley favorites including the Lodge?s world-famous sticky buns and relish tray are still served with each and every meal.

Whether you own a home in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale or metropolitan Phoenix or are just visiting, El Chorro Lodge is a fabulous place to experience a bit of the romance and charm so prevalent in days gone by.

In summary, the Mission Statement of El Chorro Lodge says it best: ?This Sonoran-inspired gathering place embraces its roots as an Arizona landmark where occasions are celebrated, memories are made, community and the environment are embraced and where bodies and spirits of all ages are nourished and entertained.?
