position. position. Location: If you’re headed to the Valley of the Sun, no hotel is more conveniently located than the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix, part of Cityscape, a high-rise development in downtown Phoenix. Once deserted at night, this area has transformed into a lively spot, now buzzing with trendy nightlife and trendy restaurants.
Hotel
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is 7 minutes from the hotel. Despite being downtown and close to the airport, the hotel never feels noisy. Even during conferences, events are held on a separate floor from the check-in area, minimizing noise to hotel guests.
Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix recently underwent a $5.5 million renovation, creating a more chic residential feel with statement artwork in the check-in area. There’s a very friendly atmosphere here, including a pup stop where your canine companion can pick up dog treats or drink from a water bowl. This hotel is very dog ​​friendly and there is no additional charge for dogs.
The second floor has a variety of cozy sofa areas with attractive coffee table books. It resembles a residential living room, so it’s a great place for people working from home to hang out.
room
The hotel has 242 spacious rooms ranging from essential rooms to presidential suites. Entry-level rooms start at 410 square feet, with the latter offering 1,325 square feet of spacious luxury. Higher level rooms and suites offer more impressive views. The Presidential Suite offers views of South Mountain along with Chase Field and the Mortgage Matchup Center. There is also a dining room, living room, butler’s pantry, and two separate bathrooms.
The bathroom is eye-catching, with a fully glazed bath area, a walk-in shower with a wooden stool and a well-proportioned bathtub. It feels like entering a water park. Luxury amenities are provided by Atelier Bloom, and the body lotion uses some pretty exotic ingredients, including white fig, olive, heliotrope, tuberose, lemon, and Kadota fig. Luxurious bathrobes are made by Frette, and rooms also include yoga mats for active guests.
The rooms have an aesthetic inspired by desert landscapes. The paintings and rugs often have various shades of red, orange, and brown, and are undoubtedly inspired by the surrounding Sonoran Desert. The refreshed look has a timeless elegance that is sure to be a hit with business and leisure alike.
Eating and drinking
There are two dining options: Eden Rooftop Bar and Blue Hound Kitchen and Cocktails. The former is a more relaxed venue located by the rooftop bar. The latter is a new American kitchen that serves surprisingly sophisticated cuisine. The menu may resemble a typical steakhouse, but look closer and you’ll find plenty of hidden gems.
Their sesame ginger tuna tartare is one of the finest tuna tartare dishes you can find anywhere in the world. It’s layered with a variety of textures and flavors, including snow crab, Mexican papaya, and, of course, tuna. We added chipotle oil, wasabi tobiko, and wonton chips to create a mouth-watering tower of deliciousness. When you order the scallops and shrimp scampi, you know the ingredients are very well sourced. Although Phoenix is ​​surrounded by the Sonoran Desert, you can find some exceptional seafood within the city itself.
things to do
Many top bars and restaurants are within walking distance. One to consider is Carry On, a 90-minute cocktail experience that takes place inside the lounge of a 1970s jumbo jet class. It transports you back to the golden age of flying, when it was more than just a means of transportation, it was a luxury experience. Staff are dressed in stewardess costumes, decorations include real parts from former airplanes, and a video wall helps bring the flying experience to life.
Or you can walk to the Arizona Science Center’s Dorrance Dome. This recently reopened planetarium is the most technologically advanced planetarium in North America.
