You know it’s going to be a great hotel stay when there is a giant (and I mean GIANT!) picture of a nude Bert Reynolds lounging on a plush sofa behind the front desk. Meet the Found:re, downtown Phoenix’s newest and trendiest boutique hotel in the heart of the city. The folks at Found:re have perfected the urban artsy vibe of downtown Phoenix in every aspect of the property from the motion sensing neon floor art in the lobby, to the local artists work displayed around the hotel and in the rooms available for purchase. About those rooms…it’s hard to believe but the designers of this hip space managed to create industrial raw material inspired guest rooms that are comfortable, inviting, and high tech (hello i-pad that controls everything!) It really does feel like you’re staying in an always changing art gallery. MATCH Cuisine and Cocktails, the Found:re’s signature restaurant on the group floor is a can’t miss even if it’s for a quick happy hour bite or late night cocktail- I recommend sitting in the lounge. The hotel location is ideal if you want to be within walking or light rail distance to all the highlights downtown has to offer. Don’t forget to spend some quality time by the colorful beach mural at the pool and don’t be scared of the neon T-rex playing lifeguard. The vibe at the Found:re is cool, the people that stay here are cool, and the customer service is beyond cool. I highly recommend you follow the sign to “find yourself” at the Found:re this summer and beyond. https://www.foundrehotels.com/
