A couple of months ago now we decided to give
Phoenix Downtown another chance and treat ourselves to a stay at a
nice hotel. I could already see it in front of me; after strolling
around town we would come back to the hotel in the afternoon with
tired feet and legs. The champagne would be already chilled and Andy
would run a hot bath were we would enjoy the bubbles. I spent some time looking for a hotel
and finally chose the Westin on Van Buren and 1st Street.
View from the Westin pool area.
The location was perfect since it is just a couple of blocks from our
favourite restaurant, Sens. It is a quite small Japanese tapas style
restaurant and definately worth a visit. The reason I picked the
Westin was that they have a small suite with a bathroom in the corner
of the building with floor to ceiling windows where you can look out
over the city while having a bath. The fact that they had a bar where
we felt just at home was a bonus. It was quite empty but still
boosted some interesting people watching.
Just what I needed. :-)
Downtown Phoenix is really not too bad except for the fact that there are no people there. To be a multi million city it feels deserted. If you look closely there are some nice cafés, bars and restaurants but the atmosphere is missing. Sadly.
Nice café behind the Phoenix Art Museum. But where are the guests?
But we did have a good time and got what we expected.
