The best hotels in Phoenix

What are the best hotels in Phoenix?

Phoenix sprawls across the Sonoran Desert, with rugged mountains, towering saguaro cacti and sunny skies giving the city a distinctly Southwestern feel. There’s plenty to keep you busy, from hiking and desert adventures to galleries, restaurants and lively bars, and the hotels range from big family resorts to smart city stays. For a special getaway, The Global Ambassador is our top choice, with its Parisian-inspired interiors, excellent restaurants, rooftop terrace, stylish pool and indulgent spa.
