VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Tucked into the foothills of
Tucson’s Tortolita Mountains in
The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar is a destination in its own right. Whether you’re staying upstairs at the resort or 45 minutes away in the city, it’s worth making a trip to the upscale-but-playful, intimate-but-convivial CORE for a memorable meal.
During breakfast, dinner and Sunday brunch, the open kitchen turns out American cuisine rooted in Sonoran influences and Southwestern ingredients — you can even pick your own citrus fruit from the resort’s grove for your morning juice.
Come evening, wine is the star; the wine list includes a host of less obvious choices (check out the “ABC” or “Anything But Chardonnay” whites), and a wine table in CORE’s center displays just a few inspiring favorites from the restaurant’s 2,800 bottles.
