ABOUT US
First things first: what's with the name?
Phoenix can be a hard city to navigate. The city is spread out and we want to make sure to provide you with the best, authentic stay possible. Authentic PHX encompasses Authentic Accommodations, Authentic Events, Authentic Adventures, Authentic Gifts, Authentic Clothing, Authentic Food, and more. Authentic PHX promises to give you a traveler’s experience.
And who are we exactly?
Authentic PHX was founded by Amber Harrold, who fell in love with Phoenix after living abroad in Germany and traveling throughout North America, Europe and Africa. She started CamelBackpackers: A Phoenix Hostel to share this amazing city with others. She closed the hostel to focus on providing the kind of experience she knows fellow travelers value: a place where all your needs are met in a laid-back environment focused on socialization and adventure. Amber is fun and wants to bring you the fun that Phoenix and Arizona have to offer.
And our staff hails from the neighborhood and all around the world, but together we all share a mutual love of adventure and a passion for this place we call home. Whether it's helping you find the nearest grocery; taking you to our favorite hangouts around town; or just swapping stories, we're here to make your trip as memorable and enjoyable as possible.
We hope to make great memories with you soon. We’ve been waiting to meet you!
