Phoenix has long been a destination for major events. The hotel’s location near Arizona State University’s Downtown Campus, the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, the sports venues for the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Phoenix Convention Center ideally positions it in the core of downtown Phoenix. In 2023 Arizona will host the Super Bowl, 2024 Men’s Final Four, and 2026 Women’s Final Four.
