T
he collection of luxurious hotels and
resorts in Scottsdale are nothing
short of spectacular, and the new crop
of properties being unveiled at the
base of Camelback Mountain in neigh-
bouring Paradise Valley live up to the
gold-level standard.
With mountain views that set the
stage for this desert retreat, the chic
Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa will
welcome guests by the end of this year.
The hotel's 201 guestrooms, each with
a terrace, are set out in a collection of
bungalows, inspired by mid-century
modern art and architecture. A full-ser-
vice spa and fitness centre are on site
so relaxation and wellness stay top-of-
mind, with downtown-area dining and
shopping only a short distance away.
Ritz-Carlton, Paradise Valley
Meeting and event space is plentiful and
flexible, with 10,000 sq. ft. indoors and
another 36,000 sq. ft. outside.
A new Mountain Shadows is set to
debut early next year and promises to
set the standard for desert luxury. A
boutique resort with a hip, urban vibe,
each of the 183 guestrooms will be at
once luxurious, timeless and inviting.
Modern amenities and natural-light-filled
spaces give rise to dynamic meetings
and events, while sweeping mountain
views enhance the ambience of outdoor
gathering areas. A par-3, 18-hole Forrest
Richardson-designed golf course will
also be on site.
The showpiece of one of the most luxu-
rious residential and retail communities of
its kind will open its doors by the end of
2018. Breathtaking mountain vistas from
the Grand Lobby will welcome guests
to Ritz-Carlton, Paradise Valley—just
a taste of the grandeur that lies ahead,
from the 400-ft. pool to the world-class
spa with desert-inspired treatments. The
resort will have 200 casita-style guest-
rooms and 20,000 sq. ft. of sophisti-
cated meeting and event space. While
close enough for guests to enjoy great
shopping, entertainment and cuisine in
downtown Scottsdale, the development
will include a 160,000 sq. ft. luxury bou-
tique shopping and dining destination,
The Palmaeraie.
