TEMPE, Ariz.

The 173-suite Residence Inn by Marriott in Tempe, Ariz., is scheduled to open later this month. Located at 510 South Forest Avenue, the Residence Inn Downtown Tempe is owned by Miami-based Finvarb Group and managed by Marriott International, Inc.

Located in the Mill Avenue District in the heart of downtown Tempe and five miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the hotel offers its guests convenient access to Arizona State University, Sun Devil Stadium, Gammage Auditorium and Tempe Town Lake & Beach Park. Rates vary depending on length of stay.

“We are pleased to introduce Residence Inn hotels to the downtown Tempe area,” said Diane Mayer, vice president and global brand manager, Residence Inn. “When on the road for an extended period, our guests need space to spread out, maintain their life’s pace and restore their energy to help them maintain a healthy balance and routine while traveling. This new hotel offers them a seamless blend of modern style and functionality that allows them to settle in and thrive.”

Residence Inn properties are designed as all-suite hotels that offer studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites.

Amenities include airport shuttle, grocery delivery service, complimentary Wi-Fi, 24-hour onsite food and beverage market, dry cleaning services, and onsite guest laundry room. The hotel’s weeknight evening gatherings offer a casual, relaxing environment where guests can be as social as they want, while enjoying light fare and complimentary beer and wine.

The hotel also maintains a business library where guests can fax, copy and print materials, and provides guests with 3,600 square feet of meeting space, a fitness center, an outdoor fire pit and a rooftop swimming pool overlooking downtown Tempe and the surrounding lake.
