Exploring Downtown Phoenix with Your Dog

April 22, 2016

This is our second time staying in downtown Phoenix. It’s not your typical downtown, unlike Chicago or New York. Downtown Phoenix is not considered the center of the city; not much happening except for business convention attendees and baseball fans.
On our walks, downtown Phoenix’s cleanliness is noticeable. We were informed that Phoenix is known as one of the cleanest cities in the USA. We also had a nice time meeting several downtown dog owner residents; who are happy that downtown phoenix has grassy areas.

Exploring Downtown Phoenix with Your Dog

Here are 3 ways we explored downtown Phoenix with Sugar

1. Stay at Dog Friendly Hotel – We stayed at Sheraton Grand Phoenix wherein no deposit is required for furry guest, just need to sign a waiver.

Sugar enjoyed Sheraton’s infused water selection and comfy bed. Overall, it was a pawsome dog friendly accommodation.

    Looks like a great place to explore – when it is cool though – not a summer destination we are thinking 🙂

    Several years ago (maybe 6 or 7) I was at a conference downtown Phoenix. I enjoyed it being very quiet.

    What a great time you had in downtown Phoenix, Sugar! We just love St. Mary’s and the Herberger theater. We’ve seen some great shows there! St. Mary’s is so great, they have one of the largest food banks. I’ve volunteered at their food a few days, they are wonderful,
    Love & Biscuits,
