PB hotel design editorial

At the intersection of Jefferson and First streets, where downtown Phoenix's grid collides with the sprawl of sports venues and corporate towers, a 20-story building clad in dark-toned precast concrete panels and curtain-wall glass announced itself as a new kind of urban address when Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix opened in 2013. Designed by architecture firm RSP Architects, the tower pushes a deliberately contemporary massing against the Arizona skyline — the façade articulating a two-part composition visible in the images, with a white-framed upper volume stepping slightly forward from the darker base, giving the building a stacked presence that reads as residential rather than corporate from a distance. Inside, interior designer Neri interior studio worked a Southwestern-inflected palette that stops well short of kitsch: guest rooms arrive in warm taupe grasscloth wallcovering with patterned cut-pile carpet underfoot, leather platform beds anchored by branching brass lamps, and a recurring artwork — a painted blue bull's head surrounded by red birds — that carries the regional identity with genuine wit rather than illustration. The ground-floor restaurant, visible in the images, runs a full industrial register of reclaimed timber planking, exposed steel structural columns, blackened iron pendant clusters in amber glass, and wide-plank oak floors. The rooftop pool terrace, added in a later refresh, shifts tone entirely — woven rattan pendants, Calacatta marble-topped tables, draped cabanas, and terracotta planting boxes oriented toward the South Mountain silhouette.

"One word, FANTASTIC! Stayed for the weekend of the Fourth of July. Had exceptional service from check in from Jessica and Dylan who were so cheerful and helpful. Location fantastic, we took in a WMBA game & a ball game just across the street. So close to wonderful restaurants and other entertainment. Pool & bar on the rooftop was an oasis of cool comfort on the sunny AZ summer day & evening. Service was excellent, Naomi & Matt made sure we wanted for nothing. Busy weekend but they handled it with a smile. Hotel bar at Blue Hound had excellent selection with a master bartender Julius. Top floor room with fantastic view, spacious and very comfortable. Highly recommended!"

"The Kimpton Palomar is our “go-to” hotel for downtown Phoenix. Being an IHG Member with a Diamond Elite status, they have always provided me the perks that go along with it, including being upgrade to a suite (when available), welcome treats, as well as a “raid-the-bar” credit, breakfast or points. They also have two restaurants on the property: Blue Hound Kitchen and Cocktails (book a month in advance for that one - see our video review under our dining section below) and Eden - their rooftop, outdoor restaurant. Both are great options, though Eden has beautiful views of the pool and of the Phoenix landscape! Finally, they are VERY dog-friendly with free treats and water in the lobby (you also get a polaroid picture of them), as well as bedding and other amenities. TIP: Valet your car - they park it in the secure garage that they share with the apartment complex next door."
