Rise Uptown Hotel  

In Phoenix’s Alhambra/Midtown fringe, about 7 km from downtown. Minutes from Grand Canyon University and the Phoenix Convention Center, with Chase Field, Footprint Center and State Farm Stadium all an easy drive away.

Rise Uptown Hotel keeps things modern and unfussy. The 79 guestrooms include flat-screen TVs, blackout drapes, laptop-compatible safes and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and bathrobes; an elevator and accessible features are available.

Soak in the outdoor pool or unwind in the spa/hot tub, then sip at the poolside bar. On-site conveniences include a safe-deposit box, 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, express check-out and self parking (fees apply). Pets are welcome—bring your four-legged sidekick.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected and a TV in a common area adds extra downtime. Laptop-compatible safes, express check-out and a 24-hour front desk make short stays simple.

Lylo is the poolside restaurant and bar with pool views, serving regional flavors noted as Mexican and Hawaiian-inspired dishes; room service is available during limited hours. A coffee shop/café handles morning caffeine and casual bites.
