The Clarendon Hotel & Spa

The Clarendon Hotel & Spa is a boutique 4-star property in central Phoenix that blends a hip, modern aesthetic with a full-service spa offering massages, reflexology, body scrubs, lymphatic drainage, and prenatal treatments. The hotel maintains a 95% guest satisfaction rate and is an adults-only (21+), cannabis-friendly property that appeals to a younger, design-conscious clientele. Positive reviews highlight the comfortable beds, vibrant pool area, and friendly staff. The hotel's location and affordable pricing (significantly below the Phoenix 4-star average) make it an attractive option for visitors seeking a spa-inclusive hotel stay. The on-site restaurant Gallo Blanco adds to the overall experience. However, reviews are mixed when it comes to the spa and hotel maintenance. Some guests have reported that the spa was not available during their stay, and complaints about cleanliness, aging furniture, and inconsistent front desk service appear regularly. The hotel earns a 7.0/10 on U.S. News Travel and 7.3 on Booking.com, reflecting a solid but imperfect experience.
