Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
Boulevard Stays Highrise STU Sky Pool, Parking, Gym 23 is a self-check-in studio apartment inside a highrise building in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Rather than a traditional hotel lobby experience, guests get a private, design-forward unit with a Virtual Front Desk and text/phone-based guest support, offering the privacy of an apartment with hands-off professional service. The building sits directly among Downtown Phoenix's tram and bus stops, putting nightlife, sports venues, and dining within easy walking distance.
Rooms
The studio layout spans roughly 400 square feet and sleeps up to four guests with one queen-size bed plus a sofa bed. Units include a full kitchen with dishes, cookware, and a dishwasher, a microwave, oven/stove, coffee setup, in-unit washer, air conditioning and heating, a smart TV with cable, a private balcony, and an ironing board. Decor and exact layout can vary slightly between units in the building, though the category and floor plan match what's shown in listing photos.
Amenities & Recreation
Building amenities include a rooftop pool with skyline views, a fitness center, a coworking space, and elevator access. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the property is designated smoke-free with in-unit noise and smoke monitoring for a quiet, secure stay. Limited on-site paid parking is available for $20/night plus tax, with one vehicle permitted per unit.
Location & Dining
The property is steps from the Van Buren/Central Ave tram stop (56m) and the Central Av & Polk St bus station (21m), making car-free exploration of Downtown Phoenix easy. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is about 6km away. A dense cluster of dining options surrounds the building, including Centrico and Chico Malo for Mexican fare, Cornish Pasty Co for English food, The Arrogant Butcher and The Vig for American dishes, Wren & Wolf and Miel De Agave Phoenix for steakhouse fare, ROSSO ITALIAN, and Palma, all within roughly a half-mile walk.
Best for
This studio suits urban explorers, remote workers, and small groups or couples wanting a self-contained apartment-style stay rather than a full-service hotel. The on-site coworking space and rooftop pool make it appealing to business travelers extending a trip with leisure time, while walkability to Chase Field, Footprint Center, Roosevelt Row, and CityScape suits sports and nightlife visitors.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the tram stop just 56 meters away and the bus station 21 meters from the building to get around Downtown Phoenix without a car. Complete the required check-in form with ID verification before arrival, since your door code and unit number are only released after submission, and note the 4pm self check-in time. If driving, budget $20/night plus tax for on-site parking, arranged through your check-in form, with space for one vehicle per unit.
