The Global Ambassador will open its doors mid-November, with bookings available starting mid-October for stays beginning in early December. This remarkable establishment has become a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Legend Collection, a prestigious portfolio featuring extraordinary properties in some of the world’s most captivating destinations. Alongside renowned venues such as Baccarat Hotel New York, Montage Laguna Beach and Carneros Resort and Spa in Napa Valley, The Global Ambassador promises guests a globally sophisticated, culturally-refined experience. Expect lavish accommodations, impeccable personalized service, renowned dining and exceptional spa facilities designed to create unforgettable moments.
“Being part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Legend Collection is an incredible honor for The Global Ambassador,” says hospitality innovator Sam Fox, in a press release. “To find ourselves counted among the very hotels that have consistently ranked as personal favorites of mine is a meaningful milestone and one that has been aspirational for us. This partnership aligns with our commitment to providing unrivaled luxury and service, and we are excited to join this group of properties worldwide.”
Every aspect of The Global Ambassador has been carefully curated under Fox’s guidance in collaboration with Judith Testani of Testani Design Troupe, who has contributed her design expertise to many of Fox’s establishments, offices and even his family residence.
The 141 guest rooms at The Global Ambassador exude residential charm, seamlessly blending functionality with beauty. Every detail of the guest spaces has been meticulously designed to provide a truly extraordinary experience for travelers: oak hardwood flooring, sumptuous fabric wall coverings, bespoke walnut millwork, Waterworks bathroom fixtures and an impressive minibar. The highlight of each room is the private Juliet Balcony, offering breathtaking views of Camelback Mountain and the serene Arizona landscape.
To adorn the guest room walls, Fox collaborated with Arizona-based artist Michael Carson, whose work he has been personally collecting for 15 years. Additionally, Fox is excited about his partnership with Kelly Croteau of Maison Plage, who is curating an exclusive selection of distinctive books throughout the property. Renowned for curating libraries in private residences, these carefully chosen volumes span various realms, including style, design, photography, art and fashion. Similarly, the skilled artisans at Billykirk are adding handmade leather accents to each room, enhancing the overall sense of luxury.
Bookings for The Global Ambassador start at $650 per night.
