Phoenix's Global Ambassador is sparking conversations, and it's not just the desert air causing all the buzz. With its grand reveal in December 2023, the long-anticipated destination has flipped the script on the city’s traditional architectural ethos when it comes to hotels, trading the predictable polish of country club aesthetics for a dose of international panache with a microdose of desert dynamism. Commandeered by culinary kingpin Sam Fox, a man whose portfolio spans 150 establishments and a smattering of James Beard nods, The Global Ambassador is where his knack for nosh meets a knack for design nirvana. Together with Judith Testani of Testani Design Troupe, Fox has crafted a space that straddles the line between opulent elegance and adventurous spirit, standing proudly at the pivotal juncture of Camelback Road and 44th Street.
