What to pack for your room and comfort
Guest rooms include basic furniture (work surfaces, bedside outlets, TVs) and in-room Wi‑Fi is available; some third parties list in-room Wi‑Fi as a paid option, while public-area Wi‑Fi is free.

- Chargers and power adapters (rooms have integrated outlet panels at bedside and some rooms have round work tables with power ports)
- Earplugs or a white-noise app (double-glazed windows help with sound but downtown is active)

Pool, rooftop and sun: what to bring
Sheraton Phoenix Downtown has one outdoor heated lap pool on the fourth-floor rooftop with a sundeck and lounge area; pool access is complimentary for hotel guests. Breeze Bar operates poolside with food and drinks during listed hours.
Pool hours vary by source but the hotel lists extended early-to-late hours in site data; pack sun protection and lightweight cover-ups for daytime rooftop sun, and a light layer for cooler evenings on the deck.
- Swimsuit and quick-dry towel (hotel provides towels at the pool but you may prefer your own)
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat (Phoenix sun is strong year-round)
- Flip-flops or pool sandals and a water bottle
Work and meetings: business travel essentials
The hotel is positioned for business travelers and has extensive meeting space and a business center. Guest rooms include work surfaces—some rooms show a round work table with integrated power ports—so pack any specific adapters or dongles you need.
If you’re attending a conference at the nearby Phoenix Convention Center, bring printed copies of meeting materials and a portable charger; the Convention Center is about a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
- Laptop, charger, HDMI or display adapters if you’ll present
- Portable battery pack and extra charging cables
- Hard copies of tickets or meeting confirmations for quick reference
Fitness, wellness and outdoor gear
Sheraton Fitness is a 3,200-square-foot, 24-hour fitness center with TechnoGym equipment and complimentary access for guests. If you prefer workouts beyond machines, bring workout shoes and any small items like resistance bands or a yoga mat.
For desert hikes outside downtown (Camelback Mountain, Superstition Mountains), pack appropriate hiking shoes, sun protection, and plenty of water; hiking season is best from October through April to avoid extreme summer heat.
- Athletic clothes and trainers
- Refillable water bottle (tap water in Phoenix is fine)
- Sun protection for outdoor activities (SPF 30+)
Traveling with family or pets
The property welcomes guests of all ages; children 12 and older are typically charged as adults when booking. The rooftop pool is compact, so the hotel is more business-oriented, though families do stay and the location is walkable to nearby attractions.
Sheraton Phoenix Downtown allows one dog per room up to 40 lbs with a non-refundable pet fee; service animals are exempt from typical pet fees. If you’re bringing a dog, pack a leash, travel bowl and any bedding or treats your pet needs.
- Pack child-specific items (stroller, snacks, diapers) as needed—no kids’ club on site
- Pet items: leash, waste bags, travel bowl, vaccination records if required by airline
- Note: check restaurant hours and policy if dining with young children
Getting around and day-trip packing tips
The hotel sits at 340 N 3rd Street in downtown Phoenix, within easy walking distance of the Phoenix Convention Center, ASU Downtown, Chase Field and Footprint Center. A light daypack and comfortable walking shoes are useful for exploring Roosevelt Row and nearby museums.
Sheraton Phoenix Downtown does not provide an airport shuttle; Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is roughly 4.2 miles away. If you plan day trips (Sedona, Grand Canyon), pack layers, a sun hat and a refillable water container for longer drives and outdoor stops.
- Light daypack, comfortable walking shoes
- Copies of transit directions (Valley Metro Light Rail and bus stops are nearby)
- Layered clothing for desert temperature swings
