FOUNDRE Phoenix
I loved the vibe and the architecture of the lobby and rooms. The restaurant was good for dinner. Centrally located. I wish the front desk guy was friendlier. He had an attitude which he should have left at home.

Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix Cityscape by IHG
Beautiful property. Our room was facing the rooftop bar, Eden, which meant that we could hear the music bumping all night long every night we were there. The pool was great and we loved the room. Lots of great restaurants and bars nearby. Check in and check out was a breeze.
