More details have been filed with the city of Mesa about a 110,000-square-foot luxury hotel proposed at Cannon Beach, the mixed-use development built around a giant surf park.
Documents filed with Mesa’s Planning and Development Department show that the proposed Cannon Beach Hotel would be a four-star, five-story, 148-room hotel property that is intended to be the signature hospitality component of the Cannon Beach development, which is located at the southeast corner of Power and Warner roads in Mesa.
The Cannon Beach Hotel will feature a signature restaurant, meeting and event spaces, an outdoor pool and an experiential lobby area, according to documents filed with Mesa.
Cannon Beach is a 60-acre surf park with a lagoon at the at the southeast corner of Power and Warner roads in Mesa. Besides the water park, there are several retail, restaurants and other family entertainment concepts on site. The next phases of restaurants are expected to open there later this year.
The high-end resort, which will be part of the Hilton Tapestry Collection, will need a special use permit from the city of Mesa to allow for a maximum building height of up to 75 feet.

A 75‑foot limit encourages sprawl.
A 75‑foot cap (roughly 6–7 stories) makes it harder to build:
Durable, steel‑frame mid‑rise or high‑rise structures
Dense, walkable districts that support transit
Mixed‑use urban centers that reduce car dependence.
It is a holdover from when suburbia was thought to be a great way to build a city. I think we all know better now that we've seen the results of that.
It is crazy that you can sprawl out as much as you want, but you have to get permission to build a 5-story building. It is much better use of land to build high-rises than to slap up shacks as far as the eye can see.
