Arcadia manor clubhouse
Old World club energy fills the common spaces, where locals and travellers gather from morning pastries through late cocktails.
“The 141-guestroom Global Ambassador opened in December 2023, with amenities including an airy lobby with a coffee shop and luxurious spa.”

Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Arcadia's quiet residential streets begin a block away, with Camelback Mountain trailheads just a five-minute drive north.
The rooms
Rooms feel like residential apartments with oak floors, commissioned artwork, and cocktail stations backed by botanical wallpaper.
The spa
Ten treatment rooms look toward Camelback Mountain, with specialized therapies from Augustinus Bader and Biologique Recherche.
Pool, baths, and gym
An outdoor pool courtyard connects to marble hydrotherapy baths and a fitness center looking out toward Camelback Mountain.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Le Âme
Olive green velvet banquettes and arched ironwork windows set a Parisian scene for classic steak frites.
The grand lobby spills out into a lush courtyard with patio seating ringed by tidy gardens and graceful olive trees, creating an evocative indoor-outdoor sanctum.
At the table
Théa serves Mediterranean mezze on the rooftop terrace, and Le Market pours espresso alongside fresh morning pastries.
How it began
Restaurateur Sam Fox opened dozens of dining spots nationwide before pouring his hospitality experience into his first hotel.
