Forgotten Phoenix: The Art of Hotel Management - Hardcover

by Robert Melikian (Author)

Old buildings, canals, trolleys, and ghosts. The author recalls his teenage years walking and discovering historic building in Downtown Phoenix, spurred on by his discovery of an old, worn matchbook from an extinct 24-hour coffee shop. The author contrasts the downtown he experienced in his walks in the 1970s, when his family began a decades-long journey to revitalize and run an old hotel, to downtown's vibrant days of the 1920.
