| - Summary: STAY HERE!! We booked a (highly recommended) suite for just an overnight "staycation"; we live in Phoenix. Read all the hype about FOUND:RE, so we decided to check this property out and see first hand:
Never thought I would be completely enamored with an artsy boutique hotel in of all places, Phoenix, but I am with FOUND:RE! Loved the plethora of fine art throughout the entire ground floor (and also in our room). This is NOT your typical, boring, cookie-cutter Phoenix hotel, this is something new (and IMPROVED)! A blend of art gallery and boutique hotel; FOUND:RE is more than a place to stay, it truly is an experience. As stated, I booked a suite and was utterly WOW'd! I should mention: I am NOT easily WOW'd (I have traveled a lot and can be a hotel's worst nightmare). Staff were all friendly and were eager to make sure we were happy; they accommodated my special birthday request. Was celebrating my partner's birthday, and it will definitely be a memorable one.
Back to the suite: The detail put into our room was AMAZING! The woodwork is fantastic. and all the fixtures are art in themselves. It is has outlets with USB chargers built-in, at convenient locations. The 2-Person Walk-In Shower (!!!) blew my mind (It is summer in Phoenix: I took 3 in one day)! Room stayed nice and cool (very important when it is 100+ out). The decor was totally modern and fun; didn't want to leave the room! And yes, the room was spotless when we arrived, with LOTS of towels (pet peeve: too few towels!). The view from the balcony of Portland St and the city skyline from east to west was something unexpected (and as a Phoenician - was a view I have never seen). Locals or visitors who are looking for something different, definitely need to check FOUND:RE out!
Should also mention that the restaurant, MATCH, is as wonderful too, but that is another review...
