Top 10 Phoenix Luxury Hotels and Resorts : Hotel San Carlos

If business has brought you to the sands – errr, skyscrapers of Phoenix, you have probably embarked on the frustrating mission of finding a hotel that is convenient, affordable and stylish. Before you proclaim this feat impossible, meet our No. 7 hotel in the heart of downtown Phoenix!

As the first air-conditioned high-rise hotel in Phoenix, and the first high-rise hotel with elevators in Arizona, Hotel San Carlos has been historically serving discerning travelers since 1928. Hotel San Carlos gives out-of-towners a glimpse into 1920s Phoenix style with detailed Italian Renaissance Revival architecture and nearby one-of-a-kind establishments like a family-owned, old fashioned barber shop. Inside, rooms may use Old World style – such as high, polished headboards or canopies or regal red and rich gold – but complimentary HBO channels and laundry valet service are reminders that this Phoenix landmark is still modern!

After attending your conference at the renowned Phoenix Civic Plaza and Convention Center, take a dip in the rooftop pool and catch some rays of that famed 300 days of sunshine. Plus, skip the hassle of taxis with several Phoenix attractions within walking distance including the United Airways Arena, Dodge Theater, Symphony Hall, Arizona Center and much more!
