The Compass

Set atop the Hyatt Regency Phoenix, the lounge and dining room rest on a slowly revolving floor that completes a full rotation in just over an hour. Window-side tables track shifting angles toward Glendale and distant mountain ridges, particularly as sunset settles in and the room's lights dim. Alongside craft cocktails and desserts, the kitchen turns out regional New American plates—ranging from warm bread and roasted cauliflower starters to entrees like veal meatballs—tailored largely toward special-occasion dining.
