The final restaurant promised as part of Camelback Road’s newest luxury hotel, The Global Ambassador, will open next week. Diners can start booking their tables today to take in the sunset over dinner at théa Mediterranean Rooftop. The restaurant will open for service beginning on Wednesday.
The hotel and its four other restaurants from local restaurateur Sam Fox opened on Dec. 6 to much fanfare. All of the restaurants take inspiration from cuisines from around the globe. The others include the Parisian-inspired steakhouse Le me, the coffee and wine bar Le Market, the Lobby Bar and the poolside Mexican and Peruvian-inspired Pink Dolphin.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000.

Its Mediterranean menu is designed to be shared, featuring mezze, seafood, flatbreads, skewered veg and meats, as well as pasta – such as a Spaghetti alla Nerano. The dish was inspired by a trip Fox took to Italy’s Amalfi Coast and includes charred octopus and Moroccan roasted carrots.
The drinks menu will include a craft cocktail program and “one of the country’s most expansive rosé collections,” per the announcement. In addition to the food and views, théa aims to wow guests and keep the rooftop lively with DJ sets.
