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.

"Excellent hidden location a short walk to all downtown sports, concert and convention venues. Modern remodeled vibe. Attached to several bars and restaurants. Room spacious. Great towel quality. Quiet. Found good deal on Travelzoo would book direct or on discount site. Jessica at Friday evening busy check in was helpful and professional as was the female front desk manager."

"Palomar is a beautiful hotel in downtown Phoenix. Our check-in was seamless and we were welcomed by Jason—so knowledgeable and professional! He recognized and thanked us for our status with IHG. He explained all the hotel amenities, answered questions and was genuine in his “please feel free to contact us if you need anything”. Great customer service-perfect place for our staycation!"

"Five stars for the valet crew at the Palomar! Devin, Greg, and Malachi were incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable and genuinely kind. They resolved a major issue we had with our online parking pass. They retrieved our car quickly and took great care of our car. Their high energy and helpful attitude set the tone for a wonderful trip to Phoenix. Highly recommend this hotel for event parking in Phoenix. This is our new parking location for downtown Phoenix!"

"Our “girl’s stay” was wonderful! The hotel staff were very helpful to us, the rooms were spacious and clean and the amenities were generous. We enjoyed a visit to the spa located close to the hotel and we received a 15% discount on the services. Donna Romero, Front Office Manager was very accommodating to us. We are planning to attend another concert venue soon and because we had such a great experience , we booked our room before we left the hotel today! Thank you!"
