The Crossings was the visionary concept of Joyce Beck and Ken Beck, which began in 2003. The Becks dreamed of creating a spiritual haven for health-conscious people and companies. The Crossings quickly became where bright minds, deep souls, and businesses could gather. Here, they could exchange ideas and gain knowledge from one another. Miraval is a 1995 sanctuary outside Tucson, Arizona.

It was part experiment and part dream. It opened its doors for those who wanted to learn how to restore balance, health, and happiness. This hotel is for curious travelers, those seeking a break from their business, or spiritual seekers.

Hyatt and Miraval

Hyatt Hotels purchased Miraval in 2017. This was a bold step to ensure the well-being and happiness of its global Hyatt Family, as well as the customers it serves.

The tradition of stewardship will continue, and guests and employees can call the rolling hills home.

Miraval Mode

Miraval's philosophy revolves around mindfulness. In all that they do, guests are encouraged to live in this moment. They must know the intersection between mind, body, and spirit. To create an environment of tranquility for guests, the hotel asks that you adhere to and understand the "Miraval Mode." Miraval Mode encourages you to disconnect and enjoy the moment. This also requires guests to unplug and be present.

Place your phone into the "cell phone bed" you will receive when checking in. Live in the present. You can use the camera on your smartphone. However, be aware of your fellow guests. The areas of the property that allow you to use digital devices outside your rooms will appear if this is something you must do. Put your devices in silent mode or airplane mode.

But you may see some colleagues using a cellular device during your visit. This ensures the guests' needs are met and the property maintained. Also, refrain from using your digital device to take notes during workshops or lectures. The hotel provides notepads, pens, and pencils for your convenience.

It is also possible that the staff will approach you and ask you to end the use of your cell phone. If you are using your phone in the cell phone areas designated, be considerate of those around you.
