The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is the first stop on our Arizona AAA Five-Diamond Resort Tour.

The AAA Five-Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort has a very special place in our hearts.  It was here, a little over ten years ago, that a love affair began between us and the Sonoran desert.  It was the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess who sparked this love affair, and now we are very pleased to call Scottsdale, Arizona our home.

The romance of my wife’s company, the arid desert air, the sight and smell of burning mesquite, a good cigar, a fine glass of wine, the stunningly beautiful surroundings and we were instantly, and forever smitten.

For that, we are eternally grateful to the Scottsdale Fairmont Princess.

A world class resort is no different than a stage.  You can assemble the finest appointments in the world, but at the end of the day it is the actors upon the stage, and the experience that those collective actors bring to their guests that creates an experience.  Experience is what the world craves, and subsequently very willing to spend their hard earned dollars on.

As I hope you can clearly see, the team members of the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess are consummate masters of creating life-long memorable experiences.  In fact, I am quite certain that I could sit down and compose a song about that long-ago moonlit night at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.

To prepare for your remarkable experience, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess has assembled quite a stage.

Consider their:

• Five restaurants which include a AAA Four-Diamond winner, a celebrated James Beard Award-winning chef, another chef known as the “father of modern Mexican cuisine” at La Hacienda, as well as an on-site night-air lounge designed by internationally acclaimed designers.
• The Willow Stream Spa which includes 44,000 square feet of tranquil luxury, steam baths, fireplaces, a fitness center, eucalyptus inhalation rooms, wonderful spa treatments/massages, and a peaceful roof-top pool to top it all off.
• For the golfer, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess abuts the famous TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course, which hosts the annual PGA Tour’s Waste Management Phoenix Open.  Regardless of your golfing prowess, there lies incredible experience and instruction for your enjoyment.
• Further, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess sets on 450 acres overlooking Scottsdale and the McDowell Mountains, has 580 rooms including suites and casitas, 69 Fairmont Gold Rooms and Lounge, 7 bars and lounges, 7 tennis courts, 5 heated pools, as well as upscale boutiques and entertainment.

Whether you are visiting the Scottsdale area, or looking for a wonderful Phoenix/Scottsdale area stay-cation respite, the AAA Five-Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess (winning 19 consecutive years!)  awaits your arrival.  We highly recommend them!
