Desert Spring Getaway in Scottsdale

The Phoenician

Get a taste of an early summer in the Arizona desert. The Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale offers sunny weather and plenty to do.

Relax at the spa, play a round of golf and dine at one of the resort's fine restaurants. If you are looking for a more casual athosphere, gather around the bonfire for a marshmallow roast with a cowboy storyteller, or go stargazing.

For those who can't do without art on vacation, the resort has a $25 million art collection. For botanically inclined, there is a two-acre Cactus Garden and a resident horticulturalist to give you a special tour.
