    Monroe Street Abbey windows
    Rachel C.

    History. How I love it when a historic building is restored and has been given a whole new life. This beautiful business in downtown Phoenix was originally The First Baptist Church of Phoenix. Renamed The Monroe Street Abbey. After a devastating fire in 1984 it stood empty for several years. Many folks had their eyes on it for potential investment and it was eventually purchased by an organization that knew that the downtown location and the history would soon provide it a new life. The National Register of Historic Places also saw its value to the community. It was listed on the Register in 1982. Currently there is an Art Gallery/workshop and art class space facing Monroe Street with office spaces on the lower level of the community space. The Sanctuary, Baptismal and Bell Tower are still undergoing final touches to create more gallery, bar/restaurant, music venue, coffee shop & additional office spaces. It is a large building with a lot of potential for the spaces that aren't being used yet. Perhaps you are looking for a larger space for your little shop that has outgrown its walls? The Monroe Street Abbey might just be the place to move when your lease runs out.

    The Square PHX - ASU Campus near Heritage Square

    The Square PHX

    This little spot is my favorite public space in downtown Phoenix. Heritage Square evokes a…read moremetropolitan feel focusing on past, present and future. I think it's the juxtaposition of the old historic houses against the rising modern skyline to the west. Or maybe it's the ethnic and cultural festivals galore, where I can catch sumo wrestling or hula dancers. Or perhaps it's the fact that it's a walkable city block and also host to the Arizona Science Center, Phoenix Museum of History and other historical houses or great restaurants like Pizzeria Bianco. It might be a combination of all of those things. I have spent many weekends here, too many to count. While I dig the ethnic festivals in particular (just went to the Indian festival the other day) - it's also host to the Rainbows Festival, which celebrates the GLBT community and diversity and is one of the largest street festivals in Phoenix. I am diggin on you, Heritage Square. Werd!

    Phoenix is full of history and Heritage Square is one of those places that maintains some of its…read morepast. Heritage Square is home to some preserved 19th and 20th century homes, museums and restaurants. The Rosson House is a beautiful restored 1895 Queen Anne Victorian house that was once home to early settlers in Phoenix. Heritage Square also hosts many food and cultural festivals. There is a large garage nearby for parking and ASU has a small campus next door. The Arizona Science Center is the building that stands out the most here at Historic Heritage Square. I have gone to it a couple of times and have enjoyed my time there. Arizona's most iconic restaurant Pizzeria Bianco by James Beard Award-winner Chris Bianco is also here. It can be a very long wait to get a table and has been visited by many celebrates like Jerry Seinfeld and Jimmy Fallon over the years. Sometimes I will park near Heritage Square while going to a baseball game and like to enjoy its relaxing peaceful atmosphere before the game. There are some shaded areas to take cover on warm sunny days.

    Excellent hotel. Do yourself a favor and book a room here if you're going to a Diamondbacks game…read more The stadium is literally a ten-minute walk from this hotel. Everything is about this hotel is top-notch. The beds are super comfy. The rooms themselves must be soundproofed; I thankfully couldn't hear a peep from any room around me. The bathrooms are nice and big, plenty of towels for a weekend stay. Overall the staff is super friendly and extremely accommodating. I will gladly stay here again next time I see the Diamondbacks play the Sox.

    Really lovely room. They put me on the top, 19th floor. Super quiet. Market downstairs is nice…read more Mornings you can get a home made omelette and jalapenos are one of the many toppings $22 Looking forward to come back to barrel and board so that I could hear the live music. It's a beautiful design in there, kind of industrial and neat brewery fixtures. Spacious and opens up to the outside. This hotel is super convenient. Within 2 blocks, you can visit Blanco for margaritas, Arrogant Butcher for giant shrimp cocktail, Suns and Diamondbacks game is right there. Also within couple blocks is Cartel coffee. Hyatt does have coffee barista at the market but I don't know what kind. Starbucks around the corner too as well as Phx convention center and Phx symphony. Hyatt has a nice pool w lots of chairs and space to chill. There was a neat festival going on when I was there. Outside the side door by their market.
