Warm, Welcoming & Modern
With a contemporary perspective on the needs of the modern traveler, the lobby of the Hilton Phoenix Airport has been reconfigured and redesigned. Guest-friendly registration pods ensure speedy check-ins with personalized service.  With high-speed Internet and latest generation computers, the Connectivity Lounge is equipped to accommodate guests’ technological needs whether they are finalizing an important presentation or uploading vacation photos.

Designed to embrace the beauty of the surrounding Sonoran Desert landscape, the lobby utilizes glass, stone and cool warm tones to effectively blend natural beauty with contemporary design elements.

Providing guests an extensive array of amenities for a resort-style experience, the Hilton Phoenix Airport offers complimentary valet, 24-hour airport shuttle, same-day laundry services and a variety of dining options. On-the-go guests may purchase premium Starbucks coffee and pastries from the new Brewed Awakenings.

Meet in Sonoran Style
A redesign of all 10,000 square feet of versatile meeting and function space continue the hotel’s new style and connection to the Arizona natural environment.  With new carpeting, wall coverings and fixtures, all function space – including the Grand Ballroom and tiered Amphitheatre – now feature a palette of warm earth tones, gold and greys.  In addition to striking new aesthetics, the function space features state-of-the-art presentation technology and connectivity.
