  • Breeze Bar — rooftop poolside cocktail bar and grill with panoramic downtown views.

Sheraton keeps several on-site meal and drink options handy for business and event guests.

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa – Dining & drinks

Sanctuary provides several pool areas and resort-style pool amenities.

  • Three outdoor pools and one hot tub listed in supplier facts.
  • Pool cabanas available for a surcharge and poolside bar service noted.
