Residence Inn by Marriott Tempe Downtown is Now Open
Tempe, Arizona (PRWEB) October 09, 2013 -- Location is everything. That’s true always, but even more so for a city and for a hotel. Tempe, Ariz. is located in the middle of the metropolitan Phoenix area. And, the newest addition to Tempe’s mix of accommodations is the Residence Inn by Marriott Tempe Downtown, located in the middle of the bustling Mill Avenue District. Details about this new Residence Inn can be found at the Tempe Tourism Office website.
The Residence Inn by Marriott Tempe Downtown, 510 S. Forest Avenue, has 173 modern suites, 4,500 square feet of meeting and reception space, a rooftop pool and fire pit area overlooking Tempe’s iconic “A” Mountain and downtown Tempe. The hotel is steps from a METRO light rail stop at the Tempe Transportation Center, the Arizona State University Tempe Campus and the Mill Avenue District, offering more than 100 shops, restaurants and taverns. This hotel is situated in the same spot as where the Bandersnatch Brew Pub was located, a well-loved gathering spot that closed in 2003. The new Residence Inn pays homage to Bandersnatch’s “Alice in Wonderland” theme, both with stunning artwork salvaged from the pub and meeting rooms with names reminiscent of the Mad Hatter.
