The Hotel Palomar Phoenix has the same vibe as a lot of other Kimpton Hotels, but this one maybe trades a little or their signature funkiness for a prime location. It’s right across the street from Cityscape and the Footprint Center, and is right down the street from a million restaurants and bars.

You kind of know what you’re getting with a Westin hotel—it’s going to be bordering on top-tier luxury, the rooms will be clean and comfortable, and it’s going to be near all the stuff you want. It’s not the Ritz, so don’t expect that level of perfection, but it’s pretty perfect for a downtown Phoenix stay.
