6 Best Phoenix Hotels With Balconies (and Which Room to Book)
Quick answer: For resort-style balcony views, book a suite at Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort. Downtown, choose a Deluxe King or Balcony King Suite at FOUND:RE Phoenix. For value, the Terrace rooms at Drury Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport include free breakfast, evening food and parking. On a tight budget, Hilton Phoenix Airport has balcony rooms from about $100 a night.
How we checked: For every hotel below, we checked the hotel’s room descriptions and current booking-site listings and noted exactly which room types include a private balcony, terrace or patio. A hotel only made the list if you can book a balcony room directly.
| Hotel | Area | Balcony rooms | Best for | Typical price / night* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tapatio Cliffs Resort | North Mountain | Most suites | Desert & city views | $180–350 |
| FOUND:RE Phoenix | Downtown | Deluxe King, Balcony Suite | Arts district, walkable | $140–250 |
| Drury Inn & Suites Airport | Airport | Terrace rooms | Best value (food incl.) | $130–200 |
| Marriott Phoenix Airport | Camelback East | King / 2 Queen Balcony | Airport + Tempe | $180–300 |
| Hilton Phoenix Airport | Airport | Executive King, suites | Lowest price | $100–180 |
| Sentral Alloy Midtown | Midtown | Many apartments | Kitchen + longer stays | $200–260 |
*Typical lowest rates seen on major booking sites in 2026, before taxes, for two adults. Balcony room types usually cost more. Rates are highest January–April (spring training and peak season) and lowest in summer. Some hotels add a nightly resort fee (about $39–44 at Tapatio Cliffs and $27 at FOUND:RE).
Why the Monroe isn’t on this list: Guests and residents have reported for several years that balcony doors at the Monroe building downtown are locked because of safety and legal issues, so we no longer recommend it for a balcony stay.

How to get the most from a Phoenix balcony
- Go in the cooler months. From June to September, afternoon highs are often above 105°F, so balconies are only usable early in the morning or after dark. October to April is when balconies are a real perk.
- Face east or north. West-facing balconies get the sunset but also the full afternoon sun. In summer, an east-facing balcony is far more comfortable.
- Book the room type. At most hotels here, only rooms with “Balcony”, “Terrace” or “Patio” in the name are guaranteed one.
- Watch for monsoon season. July to September brings dust storms and sudden downpours, so don’t leave anything loose outside.
Which part of Phoenix is best for a balcony stay?
North Phoenix and the mountain preserves (Tapatio Cliffs) have the best views. Downtown and Roosevelt Row (FOUND:RE) are best if you want restaurants, galleries and the light rail within walking distance. The airport area (Drury, Marriott, Hilton) is the cheapest and handy for Tempe and Scottsdale. Midtown (Sentral Alloy) suits longer stays.
