The Global Ambassador
European flair in the desert
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Even in an area accustomed to upscale luxury, The Global Ambassador stands out.
The 141-room hotel occupies a prime location where Phoenix, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley converge near the base of Camelback Mountain. Yet instead of a traditional desert experience, you discover an international oasis. Exuding a European flair, the white-brick building with wrought-iron accents coaxes you out of the sun and into the spacious, gracious lobby that buzzes with energy both day and night.
Old World charm mixed with modern sophistication instantly turned The Global Ambassador into a gathering spot for locals and a desired destination for jet-setting travelers since opening in 2023. Elegant guest rooms and suites prove as welcoming as they are functional. The innovative spa offers the latest in treatments and is complemented by the sprawling 9,000-square-foot fitness facility. At the heart of the property, five unique restaurants range from poolside to rooftop, each with a distinctive voice, taking you on a delicious culinary journey in the desert.
