Where to Stay in Phoenix & Scottsdale

Scottsdale is one of the premier spots in the country to experience an incredible, luxury resort vacation. Nearly all Scottsdale resorts have a resort spa, golf course, swimming oasis (not just a pool), fine dining, vallet service, dry-cleaning service and so much more! The moderate temperature of Scottsdale makes this type of vacation possible year-round. Yes, you can sit poolside and be served tropical cocktails when it's snowing in Michigan!

Each resort has somethings a little different to offer its guests. The Pointe at South Mountain is more family oriented and has an extraordinary waterpark on its property. Many resorts offer a network of golf course that guests can play at around The Valley so you don't just have to keep playing the same golf course on your vacation. Other Scottsdale resorts are so beautiful, well-appointed and with amazing views that you won't want to leave the resort for your entire vacation! Locals of Scottsdale and Phoenix are known for doing stay-cations as it's often difficult to find luxury resorts of this caliber elsewhere. Picking the right Scottsdale resort will be a difficult decision, but we're confident you'll be happy with the one you choose.

Scottsdale and Phoenix are not the same cities, though it's not uncommon to drive back and forth, into and out of the two cities multiple times each day without realizing it. But despite it being connected physically, each city offers a different style or type of events, activities, dining, etc. You'll likely experience both Scottsdale and Phoenix during your stay, but we strongly recommend you getting a hotel based on the location of the things you are going to do most often. Not only is traffic a very real thing during business hours, but the distance between things is quite spread out. For example, the distance between Downtown Phoenix and University of Phoenix Stadium (home field of the Arizona Cardinals) is 16.5 miles on the I-10 (our busiest highway).
