Check Into Chandler: Your Perfect Home Base
Start your getaway by settling into one of Chandler's stylish hotels.
If your group wants a luxurious stay with resort-style amenities, the Marriott Phoenix Chandler offers a beautiful pool, modern guestrooms and easy access to Chandler Fashion Center. For a charming stay in the heart of the action, book the historic Crowne Plaza Phoenix-Chandler Golf Resort, where you'll be steps from Downtown Chandler's restaurants, boutiques and nightlife. Looking for contemporary comfort? The Cambria Hotel Phoenix Chandler Fashion Center, Homewood Suites by Hilton Phoenix Chandler Fashion Center, and Drury Inn & Suites Phoenix Chandler are all excellent choices for groups looking to relax after a day of exploring.
Start the Morning with Brunch
Every girls' getaway deserves an unforgettable brunch.
Begin your morning with fresh coffee from Peixoto Coffee, an Arizona favorite known for serving beans grown on the family's Brazilian coffee farm. Prefer a leisurely patio brunch? Head to Maple House, a seasonal favorite for specialty coffee and fresh-baked goods in a beautifully restored historic cottage with ample lawn, or gather around the table at Over Easy for classic brunch dishes and mimosas.
After breakfast, take your coffee to-go and wander through Downtown Chandler's colorful streets lined with murals, public art and locally owned boutiques. It's one of the most walkable districts in the East Valley and perfect for catching up between shopping stops
Shop Local (and Find Something Unique)
Skip the ordinary and discover Chandler's mix of local treasures and favorite retailers.
Browse handmade gifts, home décor and artisan goods throughout Downtown Chandler before making your way to Merchant Square Antique Marketplace, one of Arizona's largest antique destinations. With thousands of vintage finds, collectibles and locally made goods, every member of your group is sure to leave with something memorable.
If retail therapy is calling, Chandler Fashion Center offers more than 180 stores featuring national brands, along with restaurants and beauty services—perfect for an afternoon shopping break.
Indulge in a Little Self-Care
A girls' weekend should include time to recharge.
Book relaxing massages or facials before heading back out to explore. Chandler's growing wellness scene makes it easy to slow down and treat yourselves. Pair a spa appointment with an afternoon by the hotel pool, complete with frozen drinks, sunshine and uninterrupted conversation.
Looking for a little movement? Try an aerial yoga or bungee fitness class at Tough Lotus, where your group can laugh, stretch and create memories together while trying something completely different.
Get Creative Together
The best trips create memories you'll talk about long after the weekend ends.
Design your own home décor project during a workshop at AR Workshop or create a one-of-a-kind pottery piece at Burst of Butterflies. Both offer fun, hands-on experiences that make for perfect group activities—and you'll head home with a personalized souvenir from your Chandler getaway.
Add a Little Adventure
Looking for something beyond shopping and dining?
Challenge your friends to high‑speed racing at Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, enjoy laughs at a Mic Drop Comedy Chandler show, soar above the Sonoran Desert in a Rainbow Ryders hot‑air balloon, or spend a peaceful morning exploring Veterans Oasis Park or nearby hiking trails before temperatures rise. Whether your group prefers adrenaline, comedy or nature, Chandler offers activities that fit every personality.
Sweet Endings
No girls' getaway is complete without dessert.
Celebrate the weekend with handcrafted ice cream from The Screamery, gourmet pastries from Paris Baguette or one last coffee and dessert while reminiscing about your favorite moments together.
Because let's be honest—the best part of any girls' trip isn't just where you go. It's the laughter shared over brunch, spontaneous shopping finds, sunset selfies, unforgettable dinners and the memories you create together.
