There’s a lot happening in Phoenix’s hotel scene, including the newly opened 105-room FOUND:RE Phoenix lifestyle hotel, which promises an art- and culture-forward stay in the desert city. The hotel’s cultural curator, Michael Oleskow, has assembled a collection of local artwork intended to create a distinctive experience for guests. FOUND:RE features an on-site gallery showcasing interior and exterior contemporary pieces and collaborates with regional designers and creators across multiple disciplines to spark inspiration (yes, a neon green dinosaur presides over the outdoor pool).
