Tempe, Arizona's fifth largest city, has successfully blended the dynamics of a high- tech business center, the fun and excitement of a resort, the warmth and comfort of a residential neighborhood, and the "small town" atmosphere of a college community, to make it the progressive city that Tempe is.

Nearly 300 days of sunshine a year makes it possible for Tempe to bring it all together: perfect weather through most of the year, challenging places to work, a myriad of opportunities for fun, the best in entertainment and dining, great shopping, and an unparalleled southwestern lifestyle.

In Tempe and its environs are nearly 30 hotels and inns which have a total of 3,500 rooms and offer gourmet dining, top entertainment, airport transportation, and concierge services.

Tempe is centrally located. Direct access to I-10 and State Route 60 puts Tempe 10 minutes away from Sky Harbor International Airport. And proximity to the airport makes Tempe a perfect destination for the business traveler.
