History
A Luhrs That Was Lost: The Downtown Hotel That Almost Became a Movie Studio
The Luhrs name adorns the twin skyscrapers that have anchored Downtown Phoenix along Jefferson Street since the Roaring ‘20s. The 10-story Luhrs Building was recently transformed into the hip Moxy Phoenix Downtown hotel. A decade earlier, the ground-floor cocktail bar Bitter & Twisted, which is not affiliated with the Moxy, had brought fresh life to the building, which is connected to the 14-story Art Deco Luhrs Tower via an arcade.
