The rooms
Crisp rooms keep things functional, with broad windows looking out across the ASU campus or the downtown skyline.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
White loungers and shaded cabanas line the third-floor deck, looking out over glass railings toward distant desert mountains.
Bar
Lucero Rooftop Lounge and Terrace
Curved leather stools face floor-to-ceiling sunset views. Outside, fire pits warm the open terrace after dark.
At the table
Neighborhood Services serves American classics under exposed timber beams, and the lobby cafe pours morning espresso beside book-lined shelves.
How it began
The site sat under university ownership since 1989, finally built out after three decades of stalled redevelopment proposals.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
