What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Wilde's design and programming speak to the twenty-first century, but the property still honors its roots.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Red rock trailheads sit just down the road, and Route 89A puts local diners and art galleries within easy reach.
The rooms
Beds are dressed in lambswool blankets, and select rooms include private balconies or deep soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped umbrellas and cushioned daybeds surround the heated outdoor pool, looking out at the red rock ridges.
The spa
Deep soaking tubs sit beside windows overlooking the red rocks, and treatments incorporate desert botanicals and local minerals.
The spa patio
Woven pod daybeds and outdoor hot tubs sit on the private patio under the mountain ridge.
At the table
Rascal serves playful American diner classics in a retro dining room, and the outdoor bar pours craft cocktails.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
