The Spotlight on Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel

Vibrant, Urban Comfort in the Heart of Downtown Phoenix

Modern and boldly designed, the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel offers a colorful, upscale stay in the center of the action. Located just a 5-minute walk from major music venues like Talking Stick Resort Arena and within easy reach of the Phoenix Convention Center, this hotel blends urban sophistication with Southwestern flair. Expect bold decor, sleek amenities, and a rooftop pool that’s perfect for cooling off after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—just a short stroll from downtown Phoenix’s biggest music and sports venues. Whether you're catching a show or heading out late, the area is walkable and well-lit, with plenty of rideshare options nearby. Rooms are thoughtfully equipped with 55-inch TVs and coffee makers, making them ideal for post-show wind-downs. With a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s just enough flexibility to fit your concert schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to stay close to the venue and enjoy the downtown scene
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a weekend getaway out of a show
  • Fans seeking a quiet but stylish retreat after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting a central location without compromising on comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s signature restaurant, Dust Cutter, serves up modern takes on cowboy classics with a quirky, saloon-inspired bar that's ideal for pre-show drinks. Martson’s Café offers breakfast—perfect after a late night out. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the central location means late-night eats are just steps away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music, its urban saloon bar is a great place to start or end your night. With downtown Phoenix’s nightlife just outside the door—including bars, lounges, and music clubs—you’re never far from the afterparty.

What People Say

Guests rave about the stylish decor and prime location, noting how easy it is to walk to concerts and events. The rooftop pool is a favorite for daytime lounging, and many appreciate the friendly, professional staff. The rooms are often praised for being clean, modern, and comfortable.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is valet-only and can be pricey, so plan accordingly if you’re driving. While the hotel’s vibe is upbeat, it’s more chill than party-centric—great for recovery, but not ideal if you're looking to keep the party going inside the hotel.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable downtown location, stylish design, and easy access to Phoenix’s top venues, Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel is a stellar home base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action.

Very poor

Liked: nothing
Disliked: honestly it was a pretty miserable experience for me. I had accidently booked a stay here and at the Marriot on the same days. I tried to cancel the stay here but they were going to bill me for 1 night stay which was about $350. I then then figured I could stay there one night and just cancel the subsequent nights. I called customer service who recommended I speak with the hotel staff directly. When I went there, they told me they would charge me over $500 to cancel but I could stay there for 1 night for $600 or all 3 nights for $1500. The front desk guy kept going back to his manager and everytime he came back he would quote me a higher price...then it became $600 to stay for 1 night which I believe should be a criminal offense. This experience just negatively colored my entire experience and overshadowed anything potential positive attributes the hotel had which is why my overall score is low. I felt completely taken advantaged of. I will NEVER return. I ended up only staying for 1 night because cheaper to pay Marriot's cancellation fee. Their room was small, definitely not worth $600.

Won’t stay again

Liked: The room was fine, no towel rack near sink but clean and met our needs
Disliked: There for two full days, entire time two of four elevators not working with a fully booked hotel. Waited 15-20 minutes each time. Understaffed for amount of people there, and nothing done when I complained about dog barking as late as midnight and as early as 6 am. Won’t stay there again

Dangerous Elevator Failure Firefighters had...

Disliked: An extremely scary and dangerous experience at the Renaissance Phoenix, the elevator suddenly dropped several floors until the brake activated, I was locked in between floors for a long time, firefighters had to come answer asked me to jump, I was afraid the elevator would start and hurt myself or worst.Poor elevator maintenance at a 5 star Marriott Hotel, not expected.
