The heart of Phoenix, Arizona, now boasts The Global Ambassador, a luxury hotel that fuses European design with the spirit of the desert, signaling the city’s evolution into a nexus of luxury. Led by Sam Fox and in collaboration with Judith Testani, this venue transforms Camelback Road into a beacon of international elegance. Rejecting Southwestern norms in favor of Belle Époque inspiration, its design incorporates white brick, wrought iron, and a grand lobby blending marble, dark woods, and hunter-green walls. Dining experiences, from the Parisian-inspired Le Âme to the Mediterranean-themed Théa, set new culinary standards. Luxurious accommodations feature art by Michael Carson and bespoke furnishings, offering serene retreats.
