The Canyon Suites at The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale
Scottsdale, Arizona
Arcadia
Vibe
A waterfall cascades through the cactus garden, giving this enclave within The Phoenician its own quiet soundtrack.
“Desert resort inner sanctum”
Ambassadors greet guests by name, while turndown brings lavender sachets and staff draw salt-infused baths.
The shared Phoenician Spa combines 24 treatment rooms with contrast hydrotherapy, a rooftop pool and movement studio.
Shared Phoenician grounds pair an 18-hole golf course with family pools and a 197-foot waterslide.
Within the Phoenician grounds below Camelback Mountain, with Old Town Scottsdale a drive away.
“The Canyon Suites emphasizes the “desert” part of its identity, while eight standalone Villas offer residential comfort at the base of Camelback Mountain.”
Rooms
Sand and blue agave tones bring the desert indoors, while locally sourced artwork evokes horses and abstract sunsets.
“The two-, three-, and four-bedroom villas have open kitchens, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and huge living rooms.”
Wellness
The dedicated Canyon infinity pool sits beside a hot tub, with cabanas and cacti framing a swim beneath Camelback Mountain.
Backstory
Elizabeth Arden's Maine Chance Day Spa once occupied the northwest resort parcel where this boutique enclave now stands.
Eat & drink
The private Canyon Lounge serves guests breakfast and evening cocktails, while Canyon Grill brings salads and smoothies to the poolside.
The neighborhood
From October through May, guided hikes explore Camelback Mountain and guided bike rides head into Old Town Scottsdale.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
