The Talking Stick Resort Arena (formerly US Airways Center and America West Arena) is in downtown Phoenix. It is the home of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, the Phoenix Mercury basketball team, the Arizona Rattlers arena football team, and many other events and concerts. The venue changed its name to Talking Stick Resort Arena in October 2015.

If you need a place to stay in Downtown Phoenix, try one of these hotels. If those are not available, try a hotel anywhere on the METRO Light Rail line for cheap and easy transportation to the arena. This chart will help you to estimate how long it will take to get to downtown Phoenix from other cities and towns in Arizona.

Warning: Do not confuse this location with Talking Stick Resort. The resort and casino are in Scottsdale, and there is a concert venue there. This is the large stadium in downtown Phoenix.
