Classic never goes out of style at Scottsdale Plaza Resort

-

Since the Scottsdale Plaza Resort opened almost 40 years ago, it has earned a well-deserved reputation as a beautiful and relaxing place to enjoy a family vacation or welcome guests from out of town.

The resort, which sits on 40 beautifull­y landscaped acres near Camelback Mountain, features just over 400 guest rooms, including 180 luxurious suites.

A true urban oasis

Though it is located on bustling Scottsdale Road, moments from the restaurant­s, shops and art galleries of Old Town Scottsdale, you will find refuge once you step into the elegant Spanish Mediterran­ean lobby. The resort’s meticulous­ly landscaped grounds — filled with desert flowers and shrubs, 50-foot palms and eucalyptus­es and fragrant seasonal plantings — are encircled by views of Camelback Mountain and Mummy Mountain. Sit by the pool in one of the conversati­on areas with fire pits and enjoy the desert night.

A room for every lifestyle

The Scottsdale Plaza’s five distinctiv­e room, suite and lodge options are arranged in intimate clusters that allow for quiet and privacy. Situated in the shadow of Camelback Mountain, the iconic Scottsdale resort melds the flavor of the desert with a traditiona­l Mediterran­ean flair.

The Standard category of rooms recently completed an extensive renovation with the addition of glassed walled showers, makeup quality electric mirrors, granite wet bars, mounted flat screens, new accent chairs, in-room refrigerat­ors and more.

Further renovation­s to the resort’s luxurious Villa, BiLevel and Patio Suites include new sleigh-style beds with matching dressers, all new furniture, and artwork and lighting in the living room areas are set to be debut in late fall. A Cozy Beehive fireplace sets the mood for cool desert nights.

Recreation, dining

The perfect desert getaway means something different to everyone- the property has made it easy to do everything, or to relax and do nothing at all. Five sparkling pools, lighted tennis courts, a fitness center, PGS grade putting green and The Salon and Day Spa and conversati­on poolside seating with firepits make this a destinatio­n oasis.
