Pot tourists looking to shop at Arizona’s adult pharmacies can now enjoy their purchases in the comfort of a private hotel room.

The Clarendon Hotel and Spa, a four-star boutique hotel in central Phoenix, has just announced the state’s first weed-friendly hotel suites. This weekend, the hotel took reservations for rooms where guests can smoke, vape, or eat legally purchased cannabis products. Rooms start at $ 140 per night and can be booked directly with the hotel or through the AirBnB of Weed Bud and Breakfast website.

These new rooms, located on the west side of the property, have additional air washers to remove damp grass smoke from the air. The hotel also offers an additional thorough cleaning of each room between guests. Smoking weed in hallways and common areas is still prohibited, and customers are not allowed to smoke cigarettes anywhere in the hotel.

“We are a cannabis-friendly hotel and we have a cannabis-friendly events company that uplifts and educates the community about cannabis,” said Vice President of Operations Daron Brotherton in a press release, reports KTAR News.

The Clarendon has taken a number of steps to help first-time cannabis buyers reap the benefits of the state cannabis industry. The hotel offers guests a car service that takes them to a local pharmacy, where adults can stock up on weed products and even rent pipes or bongs.

Guests also have the option to order in-room pot-filled dinners prepared by Chef Derek Upton, also known as The Arizona Cannabis Chef. Upton, who starred in Netflix’s Cooked with Cannabis and Food Networks Chopped 420, is also hosting Elevated Under the Stars, a 6-course gourmet experience on the hotel’s rooftop terrace.

Weed-friendly hotels are an essential element in promoting pot tourism. Most adult consuming states prohibit cannabis use in public, and most hotels and vacation rentals will impose fines on people who smoke weed on their premises. Because of this, tourists shopping at legal pharmacies are often forced to break any laws or regulations if they want to actually smoke the weed they just bought.

While most corporate hotel chains still view cannabis users as a threat, many new smaller businesses see cannabis tourism as a great opportunity. More cautious luxury hotels offer a variety of CBD-based experiences, but bolder companies are opening up to full pot usage. And in Canada, where adult cannabis is legal, pot-friendly resorts and hotels are growing across the country.
