Rise Uptown Hotel
Rise Uptown Hotel is the place to be if you’re in Phoenix. Whether you are a local or coming in for a Bachelorette Party, this place is all around just a good time. This hotel was once a mid century office building. In 2018 they renovated this bad boy and Rise Uptown Hotel opened in 2020. They kept the mid century style and added lots of color and character which I absolutely love. You can’t step into this hotel and not want to have fun. It’s my go to place if I have friends come into town. The prices are super affordable but you still feel like a boujie b*tch. If you love fun boozy drinks in the sunshine this place is for you! When you’re done in the sun head upstairs to the rooftop bar: Don Woods’ Say When.
Location, Size, and Price Point:
This gem is located in Uptown Phoenix. Uptown is a great spot and one of my most frequent places to go as a local. It is close to great restaurants, bars, and cute boutique shops. Clever Koi, Joyride, and Chantico are just some of my favorite.
The hotel consists of 79 rooms. They have four hotel rooms to choice from : Mini, Studio, Balcony, and Firepit. The prices here are super reasonable. The rooms range from $113-$259/night. I’ve mostly seen right in the middle around $150/night Of course make sure to look on their website to look for offers which they have several here. If you plan to have a bachelorette party here they offer a package for that as well. Keep in mind around April/May it tends to get super busy for bachelorette season so make sure to book in advance!
Luxury Feel:
The rooms continue with the theme of the hotel and is colorful and beautifully styled. They do a great job at bringing the outside, inside. They use touches of orange and greens that bring the desert into each room. Each bed has super comfortable bedding made with 100% Egyptian cotton. The bathroom amenities are LATHER. Each room comes with a record player and apple TV as well!
Food/Drink:
Lylo Swim Club: You can lounge by the pool sipping cocktails and eating tacos. Everytime I’ve gone here the service is amazing and staff is so nice! If you’re in the warmer months there is a DJ every weekend as well(April-Sept). If you’re local you can book through their site for a day pass or through resort pass. The menu consists of apps, plates, and tacos. I recommend the guac and trying some of the tacos!
Don Woods’ Say When: Go back in time when you head up to the roof top bar. The rooftop bar consists of a cool lounge with fire pits and views of the city. They have a different menu featuring apps and more awesome drinks. Happy hours is 4-6pm and Mondays all day.
Cartel Roasting Co. : You don’t have to try and find a coffee shop nearby cause this is just steps from your room. Roasted in Tempe, AZ. They have 12 locations across Arizona. The Cold Brew is always a good pick!
Unique Experience: The Pop Stand is a popsicle stand inside the hotel that has a mix of delicious flavors that feature ones with fresh fruit or even a boozy popsicles! When you book to stay there you get a complimentary popsicle at check in!
