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.

"Came here for an enjoyable last weekend before my spouse begins cancer treatment. Poolside seat in the sun, rest, relaxation, distraction from what lies ahead. Sounds nice, right? WRONG. KIMPTON PIMPED OUT EVERY SINGLE POOL SEAT ON A SATURDAY. I have traveled extensively for work and fun for decades and experienced every sleazy monetization attempt and thought I had seen the worst, but Kimpton managed to prove there is a 10th circle of hell below the 9 circles we knew about when it comes to greed. Also, don’t send us those cheesy rating surveys if you don’t actually have any interest in our experience."

"We had such a wonderful stay celebrating my husband’s birthday! From the moment we arrived, the staff made the experience feel special. What really stood out was the thoughtful service. The team went out of their way to help make the birthday celebration memorable, which we truly appreciated. It’s the little touches and kindness from the staff that made our stay feel extra special. The amenities were great, the property was well cared for, and everything made for a perfect getaway. We left feeling relaxed, celebrated, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable stay with exceptional hospitality!"

"My Company has a partnership with the property. We host meetings throughout the year. First, before anything, the people we work with on every level are responsive, thoughtful, caring and professtional. I have worked with event planning on every scale for over 20 years and when a property consistently provides excellent and elevated service, you notice it. The location is great for downtown activities. The rooms are clean and love staying here. The food also is outstanding. Thanks Kimpton Hotel Palomar team!!!"
