Framed by the rugged silhouette of the McDowell Mountains and alive with the ancient rhythms of the Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale, Ariz. is a destination that earns its reputation effortlessly. Towering saguaros, darting roadrunner, and a sky that stretches endlessly over a city that has mastered the art of blending raw natural splendor with refined luxury. And at the heart of it all sits one resort that captures Scottsdale’s spirit better than any other.
Sprawling across 65 sun-drenched acres in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is a AAA Five Diamond resort in a league of its own. Five distinctive restaurants and lounges, curated boutiques two Tournament Players Club golf courses including the legendary home of the WM Phoenix Open, the celebrated Well & Being Spa, six heated pools and a brand-new pickleball court round out an amenity list that borders on the absurd in the best possible way.
