Fodor's Expert Review The Clyde Hotel

In the heart of Downtown, this 20-story high-rise comprises a pair of desert-color towers that figure prominently in the city's skyline. The lobby and on-site restaurant strike a quietly reverential note, pointing to Clyde and Carrie Tingley, major players in the local and state political scene (he was a very popular two-term governor in the 1930s), in tastefully subtle ways throughout. The rooms remain a bit heavy on the beige, but a touch of Southwestern style is combined with all the amenities you'd expect of a high-caliber business-oriented hotel, including plush pillow-top mattresses and fluffy bathrobes. Carrie's offers breakfast and lunch in a spacious, light-filled room; the 1922 Bar & Lounge specializes in craft cocktails with a nod to the Prohibition era.
