Feel inspired by your hotel in Phoenix

by Corey Cohen

When taking a trip to a Phoenix, you don’t have to choose between luxury and cultural enrichment. The Cambria Hotel in downtown Phoenix is the ideal spot to relax while being surrounded by arts & culture. Located in the heart of the Roosevelt Row Arts District, the blend between lavish accommodations and local flavor is balanced perfectly at the Cambria Hotel.

You instantly feel the style of the Cambria before you even enter the hotel. On the sides of the building are large murals to showcase the artistic nature of the accommodation. Once inside, art surrounds you. From behind the front desk, to a mural of pop culture icons like Mr. Rogers and Wonder Woman in the lobby, to paintings on the walls outside the elevators, you are surrounded by artwork. You can find a peaceful spot at From The Rooftop, the rooftop bar and lounge at the top of the building. This setting is the perfect place to grab a drink, relax on a plush couch, and take in the beautiful Arizona sky. The rooms themselves are incredibly luxurious, with comfortable beds, modern appliances, and vibrant colors. Your time in the Cambria will be restful while also enjoying artistic flourishes at every turn.

Cambria is located in the Roosevelt Row Arts District, an exciting area in Phoenix with murals, galleries, and restaurants. Every first Friday of a month they have an art walk with a big celebration of the arts, including live music and food trucks. The hotel is in the perfect spot to enjoy this thriving arts district, as well as being nearby to the rest of downtown Phoenix. The Cambria is just a mile down the road from the stadiums of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks, the Arizona Science Center, the massive Phoenix Convention Center, and the James Beard Award-winning Pizzeria Bianco.

The Cambria Hotel Downtown is a superb place to relax in comfort during a trip to Phoenix. It’s also one of most colorful and artistic hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Some hotels feel indistinct by design, but the Cambria is incredibly unique to its location. You don’t have to choose between lavish and unparalleled with the Cambria. If you don’t want to have to choose between upscale amenities and stylish local flavor, the Cambria Hotel Downtown Phoenix is perfect spot to offer you both.
