    Enjoy Scottsdale's year-round sunshine within the sprawling grounds of the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess or the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North. These high-end resorts offer plenty of opportunities to indulge - whether through a round of golf amidst desert landscapes or a pampering session in the spas.

    The JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa offers a blend of Southwestern charm and luxury, featuring a celebrated spa and championship golf, one of the most popular Scottsdale pastimes. Nearby, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa sits on 250 acres, providing a modern desert oasis with top-tier golf, dining, and a rejuvenating spa.

    Scottsdale's hotels don't just cater to the grandest of budgets. The city's mid-range boutique accommodations, like Hotel Adeline and Senna House capture the essence of Scottsdale - a blend of the contemporary with the warmth of Southwestern hospitality. You won't need to max out the credit card, either.
