The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort is a sprawling desert oasis
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort, home to 649 rooms, suites and casitas, serves up Southwestern luxury sprawling across 450 acres of the Sonoran Desert.
The resort brings the desert outdoors to life with four outdoor heated pools, fishing ponds, open-air courtyards and bars like the Stone Rose Lounge. Memorable meals come standard at La Hacienda and Bourbon Steak, part of celebrity chef Michael Mina's collection.
The Havasu Falls in Arizona's Grand Canyon inspired the 44,000-square-foot Willow Stream Spa, where all three levels are linked by a flowing waterfall. Right next door is the TPC Scottsdale, where the Stadium Course hosts the Waste Management Phoenix Open each winter.
