{Go Here: The Saguaro}

Before the Arizona Blogger Conference began, I took a few minutes to traipse around the Saguaro to see all the beautiful colors and art installations. The hotel has only been open since November, but has already made a serious splash in the travel world. Most recently, the hotel was featured on the cover of Conde Nast Traveler's 2012 Hot List issue!


The entire hotel is as bold and colorful as you can imagine. You can't help but smile when walking through this place, ever corner has something bright and unexpected to look at, like the wall of skulls as you walk through to the hotel's restaurant, Distrito.



The hotel's bar, Old Town Whiskey offers an incredible collection of whiskey, bourbon, rye & scotch varieties (if you're in to that kind of thing), although I typically stick to the vodka family when ordering drinks. The bar has a great happy hour from 3 -6 p.m., and I've found myself meeting friends here on more than one occasion.



So basically, it just feels cool. We're lucky to have this bright gem in the middle of the dessert. Invite your friends out for drinks and take them here - they'll be surprised by how "in the know" you are! Even if you just visit for dinner, Distrito serves up some pretty mean modern mexican cuisine.

    1. Yes, do it! Men love whiskey, women love the bright fabulousness of the rest of the hotel. It's a perfect match!
