Step back in time — in the most delightful way! The Hotel San Carlos, a Downtown Phoenix treasure since 1928, invites you to sleep in a real piece of Arizona history. With its charming vintage soul and famously friendly ghost stories, this beloved landmark turns every stay into a happy adventure.
You’ll find it at 202 N Central Avenue in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, just steps from the Phoenix Convention Center and an easy hop from Chase Field, the Footprint Center and the Roosevelt Row arts district. The Valley Metro light rail stops right outside, so the happiest corners of the Valley are always within easy reach.
This 3.5-star gem, a proud member of Historic Hotels of America, earns a 9.2 rating on Expedia thanks to its cozy rooms full of 1920s character, its rooftop pool with downtown views, and its warm, old-school Arizona hospitality.
It’s ideal for history lovers, convention visitors, couples chasing romance with character, and anyone who prefers a storied landmark over a cookie-cutter chain.
