WHERE TO STAY

Location, location, location. When you’re traveling, you want to be where all the action is.
And in Tempe, you can’t beat the AC Hotel Phoenix/Tempe Downtown. Just off trendy Mill Avenue—the hotel is located near the best bars and restaurants as well as Tempe Town Lake and downtown offices.
Owned by Marriott, the hotel’s luxurious rooms include everything you expect from the Marriott brand – elegant design, as well as extra perks like complimentary WiFi, mini fridges, a spacious fitness room and a happening bar downstairs.
Extra bonus: The hotel offered guests little lavender packets for extra sweet-smelling dreams after a full day exploring all that Tempe has to offer. Only downside here, we’re now spoiled and will want this at everywhere we stay. (Including home.)
PRO TIP: As mentioned above, visit the rooftop pool for what may be the city’s best views of “A” mountain.
