There’s lots going on in Phoenix in the realm of hotels, including the brand new, 105-room FOUND:RE Phoenix lifestyle hotel, promising an art- and culture-drenched stay in the desert city. The hotel’s own cultural curator Michael Oleskow is sourcing local art for an assembled collection of works designed to facilitate a unique guest stay. The hotel boasts an on-site gallery of interior and exterior contemporary works, and is partnering with area designers and creators in multiple mediums to inspire guests (yes, that is a neon green dinosaur presiding over the outdoor pool).
