Hilton opens in Gallery Park in Mesa

A new hotel at Gallery Park in southeast Mesa is now open.

The city of Mesa, Hilton and VIVO Development Partners held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday for the dual-brand Tempo by Hilton Gallery Park and Homewood Suites Phoenix/Mesa Airport.

Located at 5057 S. Power Road, the four-story, 174-room hotel combines two Hilton brands. Tempo by Hilton Gallery Park features 97 rooms for business and leisure travelers, while Homewood Suites Phoenix/Mesa Airport offers 77 extended-stay suites, according to a city press release.

“There is a lot happening in southeast Mesa, and this opening is another sign of the momentum we’re seeing around the Gateway Area,” Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman stated in the press release. “As more businesses and jobs come to this part of our city, we also need great places for people to stay, eat and gather.”

 The project marks the Phoenix-metro area debut of Hilton’s Tempo brand and expands Hilton’s presence in Mesa.  

“Mesa continues to demonstrate the strong fundamentals we look for when expanding Hilton’s portfolio, including employment growth, corporate investment, transportation access and increasing leisure demand,” Corey Mitchell, senior director of development for Hilton.

The development also features a resort-style outdoor pool, cabanas, an event lawn, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, meeting and private event spaces and an independently branded full-service chophouse and bar.

 The hotel is a centerpiece of Gallery Park, VIVO Development Partners’ planned mixed-use destination near Loop 202 and Power Road. The more than 1-million square foot development is expected to be a walkable district incorporating hospitality, restaurants and retail, luxury apartments and community gathering spaces.
