Why Go

If you are looking for a relaxing, luxurious vacation getaway, Scottsdale Princess is a great choice. An oasis in the Sonoran Desert, its Spanish colonial style architecture complements beautiful scenery of the Southwest. Play a round of golf or get pampered at the 44,000 square foot spa. Afterwards, relax and unwind in one of the resort's four outdoor swimming pools.

The newly opened "Willow Stream"-philosophy spa features a fitness center, open-air courtyards, a cascading waterfall, meditation gardens and a private roof-top oasis pool. Let your body detoxify in the eucalyptus steam room or under the warm, crisp desert sun. After a massage, relax and recharge outdoors next to one of the four hotel pools.

The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess guests can play golf on a number of nearby courses, including the The Tournament Players Club Stadium Course and The Tournament Players Club Desert Course. The Stadium Course is the home of the annual Professional Golf Association Tours Phoenix Open. Its green fairways are dramatically contrasted by the desert vegetation and breathtaking mountain views. Guests can also book tee times at Sunridge Canyon, Wildfire or the more forgiving Kierland Golf Course.
