| - The Clarendon Hotel, located in Downtown Phoenix, is a very cool hotel with a brand new restaurant located in the lobby. I was turned onto this place by none other than Dallas G when he began to bartend here. Or was it before that? Anyway, they have a rooftop bar with tables, cushy chairs and big couches. I believe that the bar is not open during the summer, but you can still go sit up there. In the spring, fall, and winter, the rooftop is great. Incredible views of the city, great weather, and just relaxing.
The pool is super cool too. I have yet to enjoy the pool itself, but have attended some events around the pool. The pool has some fiber optic lights in the bottom that remind me of stars, a little runway from one side to the other, and is open to the public on the weekends. They have several large beds surrounding the pool. There are also the customary chaise lounges and tables. I believe there is a bar outside during the day also.
I have sampled some of the food from the restaurant, Gallo Blanco, but not enough to review the entire restaurant. The corn on the cob with Mexican cheese is amazing, can't remember the real name. The little soft tacos they serve were very good as well.
Be sure to check out the Mens room ladies. The urinals are like The Rolling Stone lips, not sure if the Womens room has anything cool. I have yet to stay here so I can't comment on the rooms, but I have heard very good things. Go check this place out.
