About

About The Compass Arizona Grill

The Compass Arizona Grill occupies the 24th floor of the Hyatt Regency Phoenix in the heart of downtown, and it holds a special place in the city's dining history as one of the longest-running revolving rooftop restaurants in the American Southwest. The restaurant's slow rotation — completing roughly one full turn per hour — means every table eventually takes in the full sweep of the Phoenix skyline, the desert mountain ranges ringing the city, and the vast suburban grid of the Valley of the Sun stretching to the horizon at sunset.

The menu reflects an internationally inspired take on American fine dining, built around premium proteins and seasonal ingredients. Diners regularly highlight the K4 Ranch ribeye and duroc tomahawk pork chop as centerpieces of the experience, alongside fresh seafood preparations like Chilean sea bass and swordfish. The small plates program — featuring dishes such as Brie fondue, lobster bisque, and crudo — invites guests to linger and graze while the city slowly revolves outside the windows. A curated wine program and craft cocktails complement the menu.

The Compass is open Wednesday through Sunday, dinner only, beginning at 5 PM. Reservations are strongly recommended, and window seating is available for guests who want the most immediate panoramic views. The restaurant is part of the Hyatt Regency Phoenix hotel property at 122 North 2nd Street, making it an easy destination from anywhere in the downtown core.
