Phoenix based Pivotal Group has purchased the 50 year old Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak for $100 million. Pivotal plans major renovations to elevate and modernize the 20-acre resort which sits on one of the best locations in the Valley.
The resort is part of Phoenix history, welcoming guests since its opening in 1977. Blending desert views, luxury lifestyle, and Arizona cultural traditions, the resort has grown alongside the city with new names, ownerships changes, and a slew of renovations. The resort is home to the Hole In The Wall restaurant (which was part of a dude ranch in the 1940’s) and a few blocks from Aunt Chilada’s restaurant whose main dining room was a general store dating back to the 1890’s. More recently, President Barack Obama stayed at the resort during a 2015 trip to the Valley.
Pivotal Group plans to build on this history by undertaking a careful two-and-a-half-year renovation that will include:
• Upgrading and complete renovation of more than 430 suite style rooms
• Construction of a new adult pool
• Creating a new elevated spa
• A new fitness center
• Additional dining options
• Creation of a new outdoor gathering and event space
• A complete modernization and upgrading of the entire facility
The group plans to keep the resort open during the entire process so that guests and visitors can still experience the existing historic luxury. The Pivotal Group is owned/operated by local Phoenix family the Najafis. The family has long been known as meaningful contributors to the Phoenix community and look forward to continuing that with this latest venture.
