Travelers staying at the Sheraton Grand Phoenix have several practical options for the roughly 4-mile trip to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). The route is short and predictable, which makes it one of the easier departures in the Southwest. Most visitors choose between a pre-booked shared shuttle, a private black-car service, a rideshare, the Valley Metro Rail, or a taxi. Each option balances cost, luggage handling, and predictability differently, and the right pick usually depends on your flight time, party size, and how much walking you want to do before reaching the terminal.

Why the Sheraton Grand Phoenix Location Is a Travel Advantage

The hotel sits directly across from the Phoenix Convention Center and is connected to the downtown footprint that includes Chase Field and the Footprint Center. That central address puts guests within a short drive of both the I-10 and SR 143 on-ramps, which is the main reason transfers to PHX are so quick. If you are leaving between 7 and 9 a.m. on a weekday, plan extra time for commuters heading east on Washington Street.

Driving Directions: Sheraton Grand Phoenix to PHX Airport

Most GPS apps default to the same handful of routes. Here is what drivers actually experience on each.

Via Washington Street and SR 143 (Terminal 3 and Terminal 4)

  1. Head east on Washington Street from 3rd Avenue.
  2. Merge onto SR 143 South toward the airport.
  3. Stay left for Terminal 3 or right for Terminal 4; signage begins about one mile out.
  4. Follow the terminal-specific lanes into the departure curbs.

Via I-10 West and 24th Street Exit

  1. From the hotel, take Washington Street east to 7th Street.
  2. Turn north on 7th Street and enter I-10 West.
  3. Exit at 24th Street (Exit 147) and follow signs to Terminal 2, Terminal 3, or Terminal 4.

Via Adams Street and Sky Harbor Boulevard

  1. Head east on Adams Street from 3rd Avenue.
  2. Continue past 7th Street; Adams feeds directly into Sky Harbor Boulevard near the airport's western edge.
  3. Use the marked lanes to reach Terminal 3 or follow the signs to Terminal 4.

Local drivers often prefer the Adams Street route during morning rush hour because the 3rd Street and 7th Street corridors can back up near the federal courthouse. For late-night departures, the SR 143 route is usually the fastest.

Public Transit and Rail: Valley Metro Option

The Valley Metro Rail A Line runs directly through downtown Phoenix, and the nearest station to the Sheraton Grand Phoenix is the Washington/Central Avenue stop, only a couple of blocks from the lobby. From there, riders can take the A Line east to the 44th Street/Washington station, which is the dedicated airport stop. PHX operates the free Terminal Connection people-mover from that station to the terminals. Tip: this option requires luggage you can roll across platforms and up escalators, and it is best suited to light packers traveling during daylight hours.

Booking Tips From a Local Perspective

Time Your Pickup Around Downtown Events

When a major convention is in town at the Phoenix Convention Center, demand for taxis and rideshares spikes. The hotel is directly across the street from the venue, so allow a 15- to 20-minute buffer on top of your normal transfer time if your departure coincides with a show let-out.

Pre-Book a Shuttle for Early-Morning Flights

For departures before 5 a.m., pre-booked shared shuttle and private black-car services are the most reliable option. Rideshare availability can be thin in the very early hours, and the Valley Metro Rail does not begin service until later in the morning. Confirm your pickup the night before and request a text reminder.

Know Your Terminal Before You Leave

PHX has three passenger terminals: Terminal 2 (now used by select regional carriers), Terminal 3, and Terminal 4 (the largest, home to Southwest, American, and most international carriers). The direction you take off SR 143 matters; double-check your airline's terminal before requesting your ride.

Luggage Storage at the Hotel

If your flight is later in the day and you want to explore downtown, the Sheraton Grand Phoenix offers bell-desk storage. Many guests use the morning for a walk through CityScape Phoenix or a coffee at the Roosevelt Row arts district, then return to the hotel for a quick bag pickup before heading to PHX.

Nearby Landmarks You Will Pass on the Way to PHX

  • Footprint Center – Just south of the hotel, on Jefferson Street.
  • Phoenix Convention Center – Directly across 3rd Street from the hotel entrance.
  • South Mountain Park – Rises to the south; visible from the SR 143 portion of the trip.
  • Papago Park and the Phoenix Zoo – Located to the northeast along the airport corridor.

Our Pickup Locations

Your Casa Grande shuttle picks up where it says Prearranged. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged. The signs are easy to see and they are always at the outer curb. Sometimes security will send people to the wrong place, so it's better to follow the directions below. PHX also won't allow drivers to walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle or wait, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off of airplane mode, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.


Terminal 3 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 6 and to the right, south side of the building.


Terminal 4 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 3, north side of the building, first floor. The sign says "Prearranged Vehicles 3 NORTH".

Quickest Ways to Get From Sheraton Grand Phoenix to PHX Airport

The Sheraton Grand Phoenix is one of the most conveniently located hotels in the city for airport access. With downtown Phoenix, I-10, and SR 143 all within a few blocks, you can reach PHX in well under half an hour in most conditions. Choose a shared shuttle for the best value, a private car for door-to-curb service, the Valley Metro Rail for the lowest cost, or a rideshare for flexibility. Whichever option you pick, confirming your terminal and allowing a small buffer for downtown traffic will make your departure smooth and predictable.

Both work, and locals use them interchangeably. Washington Street is wider and more direct. Adams Street is sometimes faster during morning rush because traffic tends to be lighter. Either street connects to SR 143 or to the 24th Street I-10 exit, which leads to the airport.

For a domestic flight, plan to leave the hotel at least 2 to 2.5 hours before departure. For an international flight, allow 3 hours. Add an extra 15 to 20 minutes if your departure coincides with a convention let-out at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Terminal 4 is the largest and serves most major carriers, including Southwest, American, and international airlines. Terminal 3 handles Alaska, Frontier, and several other carriers. Confirm your terminal when you check in or call your airline.

The Sheraton Grand Phoenix does not operate a dedicated airport shuttle. Guests typically arrange private shuttle service, rideshare, taxi, or the Valley Metro Rail. Several third-party shuttle companies in the Phoenix metro offer scheduled service to PHX with advance reservations.
