“Our vision for Hotel Polaris was to craft a space that connects our guests with both the inspiring landscape of the Rocky Mountains and the rich legacy of the Academy,” said Curtis Bova, general manager of Hotel Polaris. “Every detail, from the sweeping views of the Front Range and the Academy to the mid-century decor, reflects our commitment to honoring this unique heritage. We celebrate both the Academy’s history and its graduates with thoughtfully curated touches that bring this story to life. We’ve created a welcoming environment that invites the public to engage with the Academy in an approachable, meaningful way, bridging the past and present in every corner of our hotel.”

Hotel Polaris offers six food and beverage experiences highlighted by Pamela’s, celebrating American cuisine; The Aviator Bar, with stunning rooftop views and a refined cocktail experience; and Doolies soda shop with a fun, casual family-friendly vibe. In addition, Ascend Spa & Wellness offers a full-service, six-room spa and wellness center. A full array of wellness programs are available at the spa from active classes to outdoor adventure and special events that connect guests to the Academy and mountains.

Only Flight Simulators at U.S. Hotel

Hotel Polaris also offers an array of curated guest services to further enliven the spirit of the area including the only immersive flight simulators at a hotel in the U.S. Guests can buckle up and take flight in one of three flight simulators that provide guests with a high-quality, immersive, fully tactile, real-life pilot experience. The simulators reproduce the flight-deck experience of two F-16s and one 737 Max with seats, throttles, switches, pedals and yoke from original parts of real aircrafts (other parts of the flight deck are scale reproductions). The experience includes a 200-degree wraparound screen with HD imagery to make the experience as life-like as possible. Guests can select the type of experience they want from an F-16 dog fight to taking off from Denver International Airport and landing in London in the 737 Max.

The hotel also offers several other inspired signature experiences including the K9 Cadets dog-friendly program, Junior Cadets kids’ activities, a glider and paper airplane program and more.

Modern, Luxurious Design

The design and decor of Hotel Polaris also draws inspiration from the Academy, celebrated for its internationally recognized mid-century modern architecture. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by 180-degree views through expansive windows overlooking the Academy, including a framed view of the historic campus chapel and spectacular vantage points to take in the Front Range. The interiors balance form and function with luxurious materials and refined details. Rich hues of blue and silver evoke the Academy’s legacy, while warm tones create an organic atmosphere that brings the outdoors in.

In the guest rooms, a sleek modern design includes built-in headboards and custom-made side tables. The 9^th floor Club Level rooms provide an even more elevated decor with leather headboards, rich blue fabric in the seating area and mid-century gold lighting and metal accents throughout. The 9^th floor also provides a Club Lounge experience with a complimentary continental breakfast, snacks throughout the day and drinks each evening.

Artwork in the guest rooms and throughout the hotel blends historic and contemporary aviation images. Public space highlights include a mosaic of an airplane dog fight, hanging replicas of F-35 and a B-2 Stealth Bomber, photos from the Academy’s archives and a custom-made aerial sculpture inspired by the Ursa Minor constellation.

Rates begin at $229 to experience the new hotel, which is conveniently located 30 minutes from the Colorado Springs Airport and an hour from the Denver-metropolitan area. For more information on the new Hotel Polaris or to book a stay, please visit www.theHotelPolaris.com or call (833) 311-5581.

The intersection of University Drive and Mill Avenue in Downtown Tempe just became the center of attention with the opening of Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU. The latest lifestyle hotel from Omni Hotels & Resorts welcomed its first guests today, bringing the brand’s modern elegance and elevated experiences to the city while adding more than 300 guest rooms and a dynamic mix of restaurant, bar, and events spaces that will serve as a social hub for the community. 

“We are thrilled to be a part of this exciting time of growth and change in the Tempe community,” said Peter Strebel, Chairman of Omni Hotels & Resorts. “Every Omni hotel is inspired by the authentic spirit of the destination. This hotel was inspired by the energy of ASU, the booming growth of Tempe, and the exciting people and tapestry of Arizona.”

The hotel is a $125 million investment and part of a public-private partnership with Arizona State University (ASU) and the City of Tempe.

“This project is a significant milestone in Arizona State University’s redesign as a leading center for teaching, learning and discovery,” said ASU President Michael M. Crow. “We are dedicated to access, collaboration and service, and partnering with Omni to create this amazing property in the heart of Tempe opens our doors and empowers us to engage with more people, ideas and opportunities.”

Design elements pull from Tempe’s cultural landscape, integrating ASU’s modern, industrial feel with the serenity of the Sonoran Desert. Each of the 330 guest rooms and 11 suites are steeped in earthy textures and urban comforts and nearly 36,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting spaces, including the largest ballroom in Tempe, set a new wave for conferences and events.

“The opening of Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU marks a major milestone for our city. The name and legacy of the Omni brand introduces a new level of hospitality to Tempe and will provide yet another experience opportunity for those who want to visit our community. Tempe already is an excellent tourism and business destination. The addition of Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU will only improve that,” said Tempe Mayor Corey Woods.

Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU will be instrumental in reviving downtown’s attractiveness as both a tourism and business destination. Additionally, the hotel brings four new culinary outlets to the neighborhood serving locally inspired cuisine, including:

·         Lucero Rooftop: A sky-high bar and restaurant where bold design emulates the starry night sky, the rooftop destination provides the ideal vantage point to witness iconic sunsets while sipping craft cocktails and savoring inventive bites.

·         Neighborhood Services: Serving up honest food & drink in the American Tradition, Neighborhood Services, a concept by acclaimed Chef Nick Badovinus, will offer rotating daily favorites, house craft cocktails and more.

·         Salt & Gila: Buzzing and lively, the third-floor pool bar is ideal for all day libations or cozy fireside evenings, making Salt & Gila the best place to engage, connect and unwind.

·         Library Rules: Mornings start here with a specialty cup of coffee paired with sweet pastries before transitioning into night where guests indulge in light bites and savory wines from a unique vineyard halfway around the globe.

“The City of Tempe is leading the way when it comes to growth and development in the state with over 4 million visitors a year according to the Tempe Tourism Office,” said Todd Gagnon, general manager of Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU. “Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU is a reflection of the vibrant local culture that gives this community its distinct energy. Our goal was to create an exceptional environment for students, visitors and locals alike – whether visiting from out of town or here for a staycation you can truly immerse yourself in everything that makes Tempe special.”

As the hotel embarks upon its freshman year, guests can book the Freshman Limited Time Offer through May 31, 2023 to lock in rates starting at $185 per night. Guests can also save up to 20% off when staying 3 nights or more with the Longer Days, Longer Stays Package through September 28, 2023.
