Nestled at the base of Camelback Mountain, the 250-acre Phoenician offers two exquisite experiences a 583-room AAA Five Diamond resort hotel and an exclusive Five Diamond boutique hotel, The Canyon Suites-at one magnificent destination. The property features elegant, residential-style accommodations, distinctive and tantalizing cuisine across a variety of restaurants and lounges, a USGA championship golf course, 11 tennis courts, the Four-Star Centre for Well-Being spa complex, an activities program for all ages and interests, numerous boutique shops and a $25 million art collection.
In addition to these offerings, the stylish 60-room Canyon Suites provides more intimate surroundings and enhanced services, creating an atmosphere of uncompromising splendor.
The Saguaro arrives in November 2011, bringing with it a new look to where Old Town, the Arts district and Civic Center Mall meet. Bright, lush and vibrant, it’s a fresh face amid Scottsdale’s downtown scene. Inspired by the contemporary architecture of Mexico and the Arizona desert, The Saguaro is designed around the color and light of the surrounding landscape. The Saguaro experience begins, fittingly enough, outside amid the arid weather and brilliant sunlight of the Sonoran Desert. Each room exterior is accented by the color of a native desert flower, creating a visual spectrum throughout the resort grounds. Inside, your room’s primary color is joined by contemporary and natural furnishings in wood and leather, including hand-crafted pieces imported from Mexico. 
Hotel Valley Ho was cool back in 1956 when it first opened its doors, before Downtown Scottsdale was downtown. It's every bit as chic now, after an expansive but meticulously groomed 2005 renovation. This mid-century modern landmark offers posh, playful rooms and suites, fab fare at ZuZu, and VH Spa for Vitality + Health. Hotel Valley Ho is centrally located in Downtown Scottsdale, just a short walk from shops, restaurants, and Old Town's renowned art galleries. The seven-story Tower is the artful elite hotel within a hotel. It offers one- and two-bedroom suites with complete kitchens as well as spacious guest rooms. Here, the rooms are distinctly designed as light, bright, and fanciful havens with sweeping panoramic views.
