Developed by Las Vegas-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caicap.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\">CAI Investments<\/span><\/a>, the 18-story Westin Tempe will be a full-service business hotel. Participants in the ceremony included CAI Founder Christopher Beavor, Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell, Darin Sender of Sender Associates, and Vice President of Lodging Development for Marriott International, Inc., Tiffany Cooper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The multi-million-dollar hotel sits on a +\/- .85-acre parcel in the heart of Downtown Tempe. The 18-story, 290-room hotel is planned to feature <\/span><span class=\"s2\">state-of-the-art guest rooms <\/span><span class=\"s1\">and corridors, with custom-designed elements and artwork, as well as energy conservation practices. The Westin Tempe hotel will also feature a rooftop pool lounge, the brand\u2019s signature WestinWORKOUT fitness studio, full-service restaurant, and coffee shop. Additionally, more than 14,000 square feet of convention space and meeting rooms will be a magnet for events in the Tempe area. With Westin\u2019s signature wellness initiatives offered for travelers and local residents alike, the hotel is poised to set a new standard for well-being in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are honored to be able to partner with Westin Hotels to bring a top of the line, full-service hotel to the growing Downtown Tempe business district,\u201d said Christopher Beavor, founder and manager of CAI Investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The building, designed by RSP Architects, will incorporate materials of brick, steel and glass. The planned hotel will feature five premium deluxe suites on the 17th floor, and all guestrooms will have a modern look and feel, including custom-designed furniture, carpeting and wallcoverings with bathrooms offering generous counter space and superior lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The highly anticipated property is scheduled to open the third quarter of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Westin Tempe will be an incredible addition to the college and business corridors offering world class accommodations to visitors of Tempe. The hotel will stand at 11 E. Seventh St. amid the brilliance of the Arizona State University campus, one of the top five colleges in the nation. The location is walking distance to Sun Devil Stadium, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim\u2019s spring training stadium is a short 10-minute drive and near other spring training facilities. The hotel site will complement the growing headquarters and executive offices of many Fortune 500 companies including: Microsoft, State Farm, Morgan Stanley, KPMG, Silicon Valley Bank and LifeLock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cTempe has the second-highest hotel occupancy rate in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area,\u201d\u00a0Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell said. \u201cThis hotel will bring beautiful, full-service accommodations to the heart of our downtown that will allow us to welcome more people to Tempe and increase tourism revenues for our community.
