Royal Palms Resort and Spa
Built in Spanish colonial style and sitting in the shadow of Camelback Mountain, this intimate resort is surrounded by the beauty of the Sonoran Desert yet offers easy access to the shops and galleries of Scottsdale’s Old Town.
Rooms and suites offer stunning views of the mountains or lush courtyard gardens, as well as hand-carved furniture, fabric-and-wood headboards and deep-socking bathtubs. Villas ramp up the grandeur with crackling fireplaces, separate living rooms and spacious private patios, some with their own fountains.
The award-winning Alvadora Spa provides a sanctuary for rejuvenation, offering a range of therapeutic treatments and tranquil outdoor spaces. The Cabana Cafe offers refreshments around the pool, while T. Cook’s eclectic menu features Mediterranean, Spanish and American dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. Yoga classes are held on the lawn every weekend morning and some of the state’s best shopping malls and golf courses are just a short drive away.
