Like so many other buildings downtown, the Radisson Phoenix City Center is a far cry from what it was just a year ago. In that time, Hansji Hotels has transformed the run-down Sunshine Hotel & Suites into a sleek symbol of the rebirth of midtown Phoenix. Located in Phoenix�s central business corridor, the Radisson is minutes away from downtown, Bank One Ball Park, America West Arena and Sky Harbor Airport.

�We are excited to bring the Radisson Phoenix City Center to life in the area,� stated Jason Jones, Hansji Hotels Vice President of Real Estate. �A lot of time, energy and hard work went into this project by everyone involved. We didn�t just go in and do an attractive face-lift; we were committed to creating a property representative of the new Phoenix.�

Before the renovation, the Sunshine Hotel could only be described as dated. Metal-framed windows were the most prominent feature on the drab gray exterior, which was made darker by a solid roof over the check-in area, thick vegetation in need of maintenance, and an empty parking lot as far as the eye could see. Inside, the hotel was in no better shape, with a pink-and-mauve color scheme carried from the lobby to the utilitarian guest rooms.

One $8 million renovation and twelve months later, guests of the Radisson Phoenix City Center will find no hint of the Sunshine Hotel. Architectural details add interest to the Radisson�s exterior, while all 160 guest rooms and suites are now luxuriously appointed. Sixteen new cabana suites surround their own private rooftop pool. The executive-style lobby boasts dark wood, recessed lighting and marble floors. And with a brand-new, full-service bar with patio seating, the Hacienda restaurant and a ballroom with pre-function breakout rooms, the Radisson Phoenix City Center provides world-class dining options and an elegant setting for events.

But the crown jewel of the new Radisson Phoenix City Center is the property�s three acres of lush landscaping accessible only by hotel guests. A new amphitheater is capable of hosting outdoor events of up to 200 people, while two waterfall pools offer ample relaxation. 

�Midtown Phoenix is reinventing itself into a sophisticated urban hub of culture and entertainment,� said Sajan Hansji, principal of Hansji Hotels. �Hansji Hotels is pleased to have had a part in that reinvention.�
