More about The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
What to expect: A winding drive delivers guests to a bustling, Spanish colonial-style lobby decorated in desert colors. This hotel offers something for everyone: Golfers watch the FBR Open and play two 18-hole championship courses, families enjoy the swimming pools and water park, business groups utilize 61,000 square feet of meeting space, and couples like the romantic desert setting and luxurious day spa.
Amenity highlights: The Willow Stream Spa, a tri-level oasis of serenity, offers a rooftop swimming pool, body treatments, a café, and a soothing lounge with a fireplace. While the grownups enjoy their spa treatments, kids play at Sonoran Splash, a water park with two giant slides. Poolside loungers rent cabanas and snack on frozen grapes and other refreshments. A complimentary Kids Club and teen room also is available.
Insider tip: When it opened in 1987, the Princess was miles north of Scottsdale's attractions, but the town's furious growth has put it in the center of the city's booming north end. Kierland Commons Mall, designed as a small town with storefronts and sidewalks perfect for strolling, is just 2.5 miles away.
