Opened in 1988, The Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale Arizona is a Starwood Hotels property, which ensures a level of quality and luxury known worldwide.  The Phoenician is a private retreat set amongst a 250-acre desert oasis of lush green lawns and clear shimmering fountains.  You'll find elegant touches everywhere, from the rooms to the pools, the Spa to the golf course and tennis garden, along with 24-hour Concierge Desk to provide you with the highest level of service.

With a comfortable layout designed to maximise views of the pools, golf course, the downtown Phoenix skyline, and the surrounding mountains, the rooms and suites at The Phoenician are spread out between the main building, the Canyon Building (a resort within the resort, with its own private pool and cabanas), and a number of casitas and villas, but all are spacious, elegant, and most importantly, comfortable.

In addition, The Phoenician Resort boasts a 27-hole Championship golf course and a 22,000 square foot Spa, a tennis garden with 12 courts, 9 swimming pools, 2 jacuzzis, a waterslide, and a kids' program (the Funician Club).   If that's not enough to keep you on the resort grounds, nearby you'll find upscale shopping and nightlife in Scottsdale, along with its historic Old Town Scottsdale with numerous art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants.

The Phoenician Resort encompasses an enormous enclave featuring world-class facilities - everything is top of the line here - the accommodations, restaurants, golf course, and the Spa are all first-rate and, as is typical of resorts bearing the Starwood name, deserving of its 5-Diamond rating from AAA.

The Phoenician's Spa, known as The Centre for Well-Being, is popular with locals as well as vacationers, so we encourage you to book way in advance of your visit, as you would be greatly disappointed to miss out on this one-of-a-kind pampering experience.  As with most resort Spas, The Phoenician's Center for Well-Being features a serenely tranquil environment, highlighted by their Meditation Atrium which creates a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere that compels you to relax as if by magic, along with a vast array of spa treatments and fitness classes.  Use of all the spas facilities and fitness center is complimentary when you book massages, consultations, body and skin care treatments, which allows you to enjoy full and unlimited access to the fitness studio and scheduled classes, private key lockers, spa wardrobe (robe and slippers) and vanity amenities, plus use of whirlpools, steam rooms, saunas, Swiss showers, Meditation Atrium and Waters Bar featuring complimentary refreshments.  For guests who choose not to book treatments or consultations, there is a daily fee of $20 for use of the facilities.
