Kimpton Palomar Phoenix

About this place Kimpton Palomar Phoenix

The Kimpton Palomar Phoenix occupies a prime downtown position near Jefferson Street and the light rail corridor, making it one of the most logistically convenient hotel options for LGBTQ+ visitors to Phoenix who want to be in the urban core rather than the Scottsdale resort zone. The Kimpton brand's LGBTQ+ welcoming culture is genuine and built into the company's operations rather than limited to Pride month marketing — the chain participates in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index with a perfect score and has made inclusive hospitality part of its identity since the brand's founding. The Palomar Phoenix is a full-service boutique hotel in Kimpton's design-forward aesthetic: well-furnished rooms, a quality restaurant and bar, and a staff culture that reflects the brand's values. The downtown location provides light rail access to both Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and the broader Central Avenue corridor, reducing the car dependency that is otherwise a Phoenix necessity. For visitors whose itinerary includes both Midtown gay bars on Central Avenue and the Kobalt Bar neighbourhood, the Palomar is well-positioned.
