A gleaming desert jewel in the Camelback Corridor’s fabulously upscale Biltmore District, the Camby welcomes guests to a paragon of modern, new-world luxury.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Biltmore Fashion Park sits directly across Camelback Road, placing open-air dining and shops within an easy stroll.
The rooms
Rooms look out over the mountains or city, finished in desert sand tones with witty cow-skull lamps.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated rooftop pool sits on an elevated terrace deck lined with cushioned loungers and private cabanas.
The gym
The fitness center stays open around the clock, stocked with cardio machines and dedicated strength equipment.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
The Bee's Knees
An intricate copper-pipe chandelier hangs over the wood-paneled cocktail lounge, furnished with tufted banquettes and a fireplace.
Immediately erases any memory of the property’s previous life, the lobby opens up with a bold chandelier, dramatically draped from one of the original coffered ceilings.
At the table
Yellowbell serves Sonoran-inspired dishes and agave cocktails, while Cartel Roasting Co. pours specialty coffees in the lobby.
How it began
Originally opened as Phoenix's Ritz-Carlton in 1988, the property was later rechristened after nearby Camelback Mountain.
