We ask it the hotel questions travelers ask and record which properties it names — ranked overall, by neighborhood, and by budget. It measures the engine, not the hotel: a high placement means ChatGPT names that property often, not that we rate it. ## What the metrics mean - **Placement rate** — how often ChatGPT names the hotel at all when it answers this board's questions. - **Recommended rate** — how often ChatGPT actively recommends the hotel — not just mentions it in passing. - **Top-pick rate** — how often the hotel is ChatGPT's top pick, first on the list. Percentages come with a 95% confidence range in the published data. Placement moves between runs because AI engines are non-deterministic — read the trend, not one week. ## Citywide board — top 20 | # | Hotel | Neighborhood | Recommended rate | Placement rate | Top-pick rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Arizona Biltmore, LXR Hotels & Resorts | — | 80.7% | 80.7% | 28.4% | | 2 | The Global Ambassador | — | 61.4% | 61.4% | 46.6% | | 3 | Hotel Valley Ho | — | 61.4% | 61.4% | 3.4% | | 4 | Royal Palms Resort And Spa | — | 60.2% | 60.2% | 3.4% | | 5 | Found Re Phoenix | — | 46.6% | 47.7% | 3.4% | | 6 | The Hermosa Inn | — | 39.8% | 39.8% | 1.1% | | 7 | The Phoenician, A Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale | — | 38.6% | 40.9% | 0% | | 8 | JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa | — | 35.2% | 35.2% | 0% | | 9 | Rise Uptown Phoenix | — | 33% | 33% | 0% | | 10 | Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix By IHG | — | 29.5% | 29.5% | 4.5% | | 11 | The Camby, Autograph Collection | — | 25% | 25% | 0% | | 12 | Egyptian Motor Hotel BW Signature Collection | — | 21.6% | 21.6% | 0% | | 13 | Hotel San Carlos | — | 20.5% | 20.5% | 0% | | 14 | Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa | — | 17% | 17% | 1.1% | | 15 | The Scott Resort & Spa | — | 14.8% | 15.9% | 0% | | 16 | Andaz Scottsdale Resort Bungalows | — | 11.4% | 11.4% | 0% | | 17 | Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North | — | 11.4% | 11.4% | 0% | | 18 | Sheraton Phoenix Downtown | — | 10.2% | 11.4% | 3.4% | | 19 | Hyatt Regency Phoenix | — | 10.2% | 11.4% | 2.3% | | 20 | Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel | — | 10.2% | 10.2% | 0% | Full boards, including every neighborhood and budget board, are in the data files below. ## Boards - Overall — all Phoenix & Scottsdale — 64 hotels (`__head__`) - Downtown Phoenix — 19 hotels (`district:downtown-phoenix`) - Scottsdale — 32 hotels (`district:scottsdale`) - Sedona & the Verde Valley — 2 hotels (`district:sedona-verde-valley`) - The East Valley — 37 hotels (`district:east-valley`) - The West Valley — 32 hotels (`district:west-valley`) - Budget-friendly — 85 hotels (`price:budget`) - Luxury — 53 hotels (`price:luxury`) - Mid-tier — 85 hotels (`price:midtier`) - Arcadia — 11 hotels (`zone:arcadia`) - Cave Creek & Carefree — 10 hotels (`zone:cave-creek-carefree`) - Chandler — 21 hotels (`zone:chandler`) - Desert Ridge — 9 hotels (`zone:desert-ridge`) - Fountain Hills — 5 hotels (`zone:fountain-hills`) - Glendale & Westgate — 16 hotels (`zone:glendale-westgate`) - Kierland & Scottsdale Quarter — 14 hotels (`zone:kierland`) - McCormick Ranch & Gainey Ranch — 18 hotels (`zone:mccormick-gainey-ranch`) - Mesa — 17 hotels (`zone:mesa`) - Midtown Phoenix — 15 hotels (`zone:midtown-phoenix`) - North Scottsdale — 27 hotels (`zone:north-scottsdale`) - Old Town Scottsdale — 18 hotels (`zone:old-town-scottsdale`) - Paradise Valley — 12 hotels (`zone:paradise-valley`) - Roosevelt Row — 12 hotels (`zone:roosevelt-row`) - Sky Harbor Airport — 26 hotels (`zone:sky-harbor`) - South Mountain & Ahwatukee — 23 hotels (`zone:south-mountain-ahwatukee`) - South Scottsdale — 35 hotels (`zone:south-scottsdale`) - Tempe & Mill Avenue — 15 hotels (`zone:tempe-mill-avenue`) - The Biltmore — 11 hotels (`zone:biltmore`) - The Camelback Corridor — 17 hotels (`zone:camelback-corridor`) - The Scottsdale Waterfront & Fashion Square — 20 hotels (`zone:scottsdale-waterfront`) - Troon North & Pinnacle Peak — 15 hotels (`zone:troon-north`) ## Other markets - New York City: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/new-york/ - Los Angeles: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/los-angeles/ - San Francisco: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/san-francisco/ - Miami: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/miami/ - Chicago: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/chicago/ - San Diego: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/san-diego/ - Washington, DC: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/washington-dc/ - Denver: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/denver/ - Boston: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/boston/ - Austin: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/austin/ - New Orleans: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/new-orleans/ - Hawaii: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/hawaii/ - Orlando: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/orlando/ - Seattle: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/seattle/ ## Data, method and reuse - JSON: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/phoenix/ranking.json - CSV: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/phoenix/ranking.csv - Methodology and disclosures: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/methodology/ - License: CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - Cite as: Sigtrip AI Hotel Ranking, https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/phoenix/, measured 2026-09-07.
