A Walkable Downtown Phoenix Stay on West Van Buren

City Center Downtown ยท September 29, 2026, 06:45:05 AM

Downtown Phoenix is compact enough that a good address replaces a lot of driving. City Center Downtown at 600 W. Van Buren St. is for guests who want theaters, parks, and dinner on foot, with the car left at the motel.

What you can reach without a freeway

Civic Space Park, the Arizona Science Center, the Orpheum, The Van Buren, and the convention district all sit in this central area. Sports nights at Footprint Center and Chase Field use the same idea: walk or take a short rideshare, then come back.

The light rail is part of how downtown moves. The motel keeps you near that core instead of near a highway ramp.

The room you return to

Free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a coffee maker, and in-room air conditioning are the nightly basics. The building has stood here since 1959. A 24-hour desk and on-site EV charging cover the guests who did drive in and would rather not drive again until checkout.
