Recently Opened Hotels in Phoenix
Newly opened (or newly refreshed) stays across Phoenix — curated for modern travelers.
Opened Mar 2026
Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Buckeye Phoenix
One of the newest hotels in the greater Phoenix area — the Hampton Inn & Suites Buckeye opened in March 2026 bringing a brand-new Hilton property to one of the fastest-growing corridors in the West Valley. 108 rooms with the full Hampton standard: free hot breakfast daily, outdoor pool, fitness center, and modern rooms with updated tech. A solid value-forward option for travelers visiting the West Phoenix and Buckeye area who want a genuinely new build rather than an aging mid-market property.

Opened Late 2025
Sentral Sol Modern
Phoenix's most design-forward new hotel — Sentral Sol Modern sits in the heart of Roosevelt Row with 95 studio to 2-bedroom suites featuring full kitchens, in-unit washers and dryers, and separate living areas. The amenity package reads more like a luxury apartment community than a traditional hotel: rooftop pool with panoramic Phoenix skyline views, yoga studio, coworking spaces, fire pit lounge, and a 28th-floor private members club called The House with a second pool deck and chef's kitchen. A strong pick for extended stays or design-conscious travelers who want downtown Phoenix access without a cookie-cutter hotel experience.

Opened Nov 2025
AC Hotel & Element by Westin Phoenix North Norterra
A standout dual-branded Marriott opening in North Phoenix — the AC Hotel (182 rooms, European-inspired design) and Element by Westin (95 extended-stay rooms with full kitchens) share one four-story building on the 500-acre Norterra campus near I-17 and Loop 101. What makes this property genuinely different: Topgolf Swing Suites on site, a covered outdoor pickleball court, a heated saltwater pool, and over 10,000 sq ft of meeting space. Located near the TSMC semiconductor corridor and walkable to Norterra's shopping and dining, it's North Phoenix's best new hotel option for both business and leisure travelers.
