Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
North Scottsdale / Carefree
Set among 12-million-year-old granite boulder formations in the Sonoran Desert near Carefree, this Waldorf Astoria property is visually unlike any resort on earth — casitas blend so perfectly into the rocks that the landscape seems to have grown the buildings. Two championship golf courses, a world-class spa, and extraordinary star-gazing complete the picture.
Old Town
A design-forward Hyatt property in the Camelback Corridor that blends Southwestern art curation with the brand's signature social-lobby energy — a record library, curated cocktail bar (Weft & Warp), and a pool scene that draws non-guests by name. The 185 bungalow-style accommodations arranged around fire pits and native desert plantings create a genuinely residential resort feel.
Paradise Valley
A 1929 Mediterranean-style hacienda that was Delos Cooke's private estate before becoming Scottsdale's most intimate full-service resort. The 119 casitas nestle among 30-foot royal palms and rose gardens at the foot of Camelback Mountain, and the T. Cook's restaurant — in the original living room — remains one of Arizona's most romantic dinner settings.
Paradise Valley
Perched dramatically on the south slope of Camelback Mountain, this adults-preferred sanctuary — 98 casitas with heated private plunge pools — is built for couples seeking seclusion rather than resort-scale spectacle. Elements restaurant on the mountain terrace offers some of the most photographed dining views in Arizona.
North Scottsdale
A sprawling North Scottsdale resort with one of Arizona's best family water parks (Kierland WaterSlide), an 18-hole championship golf course, and 732 rooms distributed across casitas and a main tower with mountain views. The Kierland Commons shopping complex immediately adjacent offers upscale retail without needing a car.
North Scottsdale
Perched at the foot of the McDowell Mountains in the most dramatic desert setting in the valley, this Four Seasons property embeds 210 casita-style rooms among boulder formations and native Sonoran flora. The Troon North Golf Club access, Talavera restaurant terrace at sunset, and spa with desert-herb treatments make it the most authentically Arizonan luxury experience.
