In resort parlance, Phoenix is a “locals’ market.” Translation: The summer is ours, with smoking staycation deals and tantalizing seasonal programming.

The Global Ambassador
Sam Fox’s sleek, urbane debut hotel makes its first summer splash this season after opening in December. Its culinary bona fides are evident – from poolside bar Pink Dolphin to French bistro Le Âme, which our food critic raves about on page 192 – but it has more going for it than that. The Spa is the only provider in the state of ultra-luxe Augustinus Bader products and treatments, and the only in the country to offer U Beauty skincare. The hotel is also ideally located in Arcadia, close to dozens of must-try restaurants and cultural attractions – including the Phoenix Suns practice facility at neighboring Verizon 5G Performance Center, so you might see a baller or two during your staycay.
