We found this buried treasure, a time capsule rich in early mid-century history. We couldn't just kick sand on it, and unsee it, so we gave it new life!

Downtown Phoenix's latest play station and overnight hub features 47 retro modern rooms, (and an airstream), Chilte, the highly lauded food pop-up turned must-try restaurant, and Egyptian Live, a 250 seat outdoor cocktail bar where folks can imbibe on inventive cocktails, savor the tastes of Chilte-to-go, and enjoy live entertainment. Did we mention there will be games? It'll be a Gas.
