Hospitality veterans might not expect much from the partnership between an NBA star, a former football player, a country music legend, and a hit-making restaurateur, but in fact the Global Ambassador is a strong entry into the Phoenix luxury-hotel scene. All the details have been carefully considered here, especially in the 141 rooms and suites, whose Art Deco inspiration is enhanced by hand-selected Maison Plage books and distinctive artwork. Five restaurants serve as the heartbeat of the resort, and range across the globe for inspiration, while the spa is both cutting-edge and comprehensive in its fitness and wellness offerings.
