The Westin Tempe
The Westin Tempe Now Open in the Heart of Downtown District
With the hotel's debut comes three distinct, brand-new dining concepts as well. Led by seasoned Valley Chef Alexander Robinson, the signature ground-f loor restaurant Terra Tempe Kitchen & Spirits features healthy cuisine that cleverly combines bold, rustic flavors with locally sourced ingredients to offer an authentic reflection of the Southwest's rich history, plus an innovative drink program packed with nature-infused craft cocktails, local Arizona brews and an impressive wine list. Subdued lighting, an expansive exhibition kitchen and a prominent liquor tower lend a warm, inviting quality to the space and present an intimate contrast to the adjacent lobby, which is separated by a striking, copper chain "veil" suspended from the ceiling.

Open for lunch and dinner, a few standouts from Terra's menu include the Cilantro Dusted Chilian Sea Bass, served with arugula, avocado crema, tempura jalapenos and sweet corn pico de gallo; and Terra's Hot Stone, with cilantro scallion salad, pickled ginger, serrano ponzu and a choice between Wagyu beef or Pacific ahi tuna.
In contrast with its ground-level counterpart, Skysill Rooftop Lounge soars above the city on the hotel's 18th floor, making it the highest open-air rooftop bar in town. During the day, the chic venue offers a hip, relaxing escape with its rooftop pool, jacuzzi, daybeds and cabanas, and large video screen overlooking the vast metropolitan Phoenix area. As the sun sets over the mountain horizon, it then transitions to a luxurious lounge where all levels of service and experience are elevated. Guests will enjoy a curated wine list as well as a sophisticated twist on classic cocktails including the Arizona Collins, made with aperol, Chareau aloe liquer, Mionetto prosecco and dehydrated grapefruit; and the Cactus Spritz, made with Hanson Meyer lemon vodka, Reàl Blue Agave nectar, fresh lemon juice and Fever-Tree bitter lemon tonic water.
