ARIZONA RESORTS

Scottsdale Marriott at
McDowell Mountains

The Valley of the Sun is the golf capital of the southwest, with over 200 courses in the region that makes up metropolitan Phoenix, including the upscale Scottsdale community which features the most high-end accommodations, clubs and resorts in the area. Most courses and developments in Scottsdale are relatively new compared to Phoenix, having sprouted up from the 80s to present, and many are built with luxurious homes, condos and villas on the fairway or close by. Even most residential communities set aside units for seasonal or even short-term renting. Golf packages are often offered with these condos at not just the course it's situated on but many in the area.

The beautiful McDowell Mountains serve as host to this immaculate Marriott resort, which is surrounded on three sides by the TPC Desert Course in northern Scottsdale. The 270 two-room suites have 575 square feet of living areas and separate sleep quarters. The resort proudly features its "pillow top Omaha bed" which is complete with triple sheeting, six feather pillows and one anichini Italian throw pillow. If you can get out of bed, all the suites have private patios or balconies and massive windows. For work, the suites have high-speed internet, voicemail, and ready-for-plug-in work desk. Mediterranean-inspired fine dining overlooks the TPC course and features Tapas and other European specialties.
