Detailed Review
Guests marvel at the array of pleasures that make this prestigious landmark a one-of-a-kind destination resort. A place with blue skies, warm sunny days and the rich colors and textures of the great American Southwest. A place singularly designed for comfort and enjoyment, brightened by a spirit of easy elegance. A place where you can feel miles away from the rest of the world, yet right at home.
The Phoenician is known for its lavish decor and breathtaking surroundings - plus the caring, exceptional service you would expect from a fine private club. Unparalleled elegance is artfully expressed through the resort from beautifully appointed accommodations, including an $8 million dollar art collection, to the most stunning golf course in the Southwest, to our gilded lobby which commands one of the best views of the Valley of the Sun. At every turn, The Phoenician magically combines the elements of nature, landscaping, architecture and fine art into a striking masterpiece.
Press Quotes
"While newer resorts stumble over themselves to satisfy current trends, this grande dame holds fast to old-world luxury and a Reagan-era feeling of prosperity. The architecture and guest room design haven’t changed much since the resort’s inception in 1988—though there’s certainly nothing tattered about the place. The Italianate architecture, ornate upholstered furniture, and huge marble bathrooms definitely speak to the old guard. Guests can also opt to upgrade for $75 to $200 and stay in the newly designed Canyon Suites—sort of a boutique property within the Phoenician. Guests in this bank of 60 rooms (of the resort’s total of 654) get a daily wine tasting with a master sommelier, a black S550 Mercedes to shuttle them around, freebies that main resort guests pay for (Wi-Fi, parking, access to the fitness center, long-distance calls), and a separate porte cochere, lobby, pool, and cabanas. Plus, a Phoenician Ambassador will call you 72 hours before your arrival to arrange any plans."Conde Nast 07
