Sheraton Phoenix Completes $4 Million Meeting-Space Renovation

As the hub property for Sheraton’s new brand-wide gathering-space concepts, the 1,003-room hotel debuts some unique features for groups.

The Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, the largest hotel in Arizona, has rolled out the finishing touches of a $4 million redesign of meeting and social-event spaces, with several of the new features also coming to other Sheraton properties throughout North America in the near future. (More on the brand-wide initiative can be found here.)

And on the perimeter of the space are small glass-walled meeting rooms for two- to four-person conversations that can be scheduled or impromptu.

The outdoor space is covered and overlooks the stylish exterior of the Phoenix Convention Center.

The space (photos at bottom) includes a 27,000-square-foot ballroom divisible by five, a 14,000-square-foot ballroom divisible by five, more than a dozen dedicated breakout spaces, plus two sizable outdoor spaces for receptions (in photo).

The meeting-space renovation includes new acoustic boards and lighting, fresh carpets, wall coverings, new furniture, and curated artwork throughout the pre-function and meeting spaces, all located on the second and third floors. The rippling textures, warm hues, and motifs of the Sonoran desert environment are seen throughout the property’s artwork.

The Sheraton Phoenix Downtown is four miles from Sky Harbor International Airport, a 10-minute drive.
