Phoenix approves 260-room hotel near Mayo Clinic Article originally posted on Phoenix Business Journal on April 9, 2026 Phoenix City Council has approved measures to clear the way for a new 260-room hotel to be built in north Phoenix near the Mayo Clinic. During its April 8 meeting, Council approved rezoning and changes to existing plans that will allow for a hotel to be built on the southeast corner of 64th Street and Mayo Boulevard. Council also approved measures to allow for more density on adjacent land, which could be turned into apartments, condos or attached townhouses. Phoenix-based Plaza Cos. is the developer of the site. The company proposed building a hotel on eight acres of a larger plot of land it is developing for residential uses. Plaza’s proposal to the city included building a dual-branded, six-story Hilton hotel that would include a restaurant and a pool. The project will include a Tapestry Collection hotel, which is Hilton’s lifestyle brand, and Homewood Suites by Hilton, an extended-stay concept with full kitchens inside each room. The hotels will be marketed primarily to visitors coming to the Valley for health care-related stays. In recent years, Plaza Cos. has developed multiple dual-branded hotels around the Valley, including at the redeveloped Park Central Mall in midtown Phoenix and at City North. It is also a development partner on the Palo District, the latest redevelopment planned at the 80-acre former Fiesta Mall site in Mesa. The project had seen some pushback from residents who live in the Paradise Ridge neighborhood, which borders the land of the development on the east. Several residents sent emails and other messages objecting to the hotel development and offered alternatives, but no one spoke during the April 8 Phoenix City Council meeting.
