A Kimpton Hotel is coming to downtown Tempe, according to a report from Phoenix Business Journal.
The 16-story, 247-room hotel will join the Hayden House (home to Monti’s) at the southwest corner of Mill Avenue and Rio Salado Parkway. It will be part of a mixed-use complex that will include restaurants and retail space. A 15-story office tower will be built just west of the hotel.
