CopperWynd Resort is one of the best spa resorts in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Spa will inspire the soul, swim in azure pools, golf at renowned courses, play tennis, work out at the Fitness Centre and complete your journey at Alchemy, CopperWynd’s award winning magical culinary adventure. Come Take the Journey at this one of a kind Arizona resort.

CopperWynd Resort and Club overlooks the breathtaking Sonoran Desert from its hilltop location on the border between Scottsdale and Fountain Hills. This AAA Four Diamond boutique resort property combines the luxurious services of an elegant private club with the spacious accommodations and amenities of a secluded vacation destination. Stunning desert vistas studded with saguaro cacti can be seen throughout the property, enabling guests to enjoy brilliant sunsets over a landscape possessing the stark, rugged beauty for which the American Southwest is famous. In keeping with this picturesque natural setting, the resort’s spa therapies and wellness services emphasize the importance of organic healing and rejuvenation.

In addition to an extensive menu of spa treatments incorporating elements of the surrounding landscape, visitors to CopperWynd can experience the myriad recreational offerings of Scottsdale, whose world-class golf, historic sites, and quaint storefronts are only 12 miles off property. The athletically inclined will delight in hiking and biking excursions through the five mountain ranges that surround the resort. Special packages including Pilates instruction are available for fitness enthusiasts, while couples can enhance romance with a package that involves in-room breakfast as well as spa treatments.

The travel industry might call it a “staycation” or a “naycation” – a quick, budget- focused getaway close to home.

But Chris and Heather Holm of Ahwatukee said their stay last Saturday in one of Arizona Grand Resort’s new villas was as romantic and luxurious a wedding night as they could have imagined.

The Holms, who married in Chris’s mother’s backyard Saturday morning, walked into a pristine luxury suite filled that was filled with rose petals and had a view overlooking a running brook and golf course. Pristine because the Holms were the first guests to stay in the Arizona Grand Villas, which opened Feb. 1.
Waiting for them in the room were chocolate covered strawberries and sparking cider — neither of the 21-year-olds care much for champagne.

“The whole thing was very nice,” Heather Holm said Sunday. “The view really makes you feel like you are somewhere else.”

Also happy was Chris’s mother, Tammie Holm of Ahwatukee, who gave the Suite Romance Package to the newlyweds. It cost less than $300.

“I checked all around for deals and this was the best I found,” she said. “You would pay at least $500 a night for something like this at another resort.”

All three thought it was great that the couple, who met at Mountain Pointe High School, were the Arizona Grand Villa’s first guests.

“That’s really why we are staying here,” said Chris Holms, who works as an assistant supervisor at a construction warehouse.

The Villas are a new residential part of the Grand and also part of a $52-million face lift for what used to be called the Pointe at South Mountain Resort . Money has also gone into renovating rooms and constructing a new lobby with a restaurant and pro-shop that will open in March.

The expansion began in 2007, about a year after the property was purchased by Grossman Co. Properties, which a decade ago renovated the Arizona Biltmore Resort.

The 100 villas, measuring 980-to-1,380-square-feet square feet, are the expansion’s crown jewels, said Richard Behr, the Grand’s managing director. About 70 percent of them have been sold to private investors, he said.

Some investors will keep them as second or third homes while others will treat them as investments and allow the resort to rent them out to vacationing couples like the Holms. All of the Villas are maintained by the resort and come with privileges including access to the resort’s golf course, hiking trails, mountain bikes, water park and more.

Behr expects many guests at the AAA Four Diamond-rated Grand will come from the Valley this year since convention business is down and out-of-state tourism has dropped off in the weak economy.

“Ahwatukee is a big feeder for us,” Behr said, noting that some of the community’s homes are on resort property.

Behr said about half of the resort’s business last year came from Valley visitors, including people who live as close as Tempe and Chandler. Scottsdale residents also like the resort, he said, and travel down to it because of the seven-acre water park and access to 50 miles of desert trials in South Mountain Park, he said.

Behr said Grand officials expect the trend to continue this year.

He said for many such guests, the resort itself is as important a part of a vacation as the destination – if not more so.

“We live in a world where we shop in warehouses and customer service is a recording,” he said. “Even in this economy people feel they deserve to come to a nice place and reconnect with their family. For kids, staying in a hotel is magical. It’s a chance to experience a lifestyle they don’t normally get to experience.”

Michelle Donati, public affairs supervisor for the Arizona Automobile Association, said the trend Behr has identified is going on statewide.

Other popular resorts for “staycations” include the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass near Ahwatukee and Chandler, Westin Kierland Commons Resort in north Phoenix and The Arizona Biltmore in north central Phoenix. They have packages that give an additional free night to anyone who stays three or four nights, she said.

“The economy hasn’t eliminated the need for people to get away but it is making them stay on budget,” she said.

Full Article and Credits

In the dictionary, paradise is defined as “a state of bliss, felicity or perfect delight, an Eden.” So it takes a lot of chutzpah to call a place Paradise Valley. Yet, here in central Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, that’s just what they did.

The credit for the name is given to the promoter of a 19th-century canal project that was intended to turn the arid landscape into a Garden of Eden. Using a phrase that would do justice to a Madison Avenue advertising firm, when he saw the area in early spring, blanketed in wildflowers and Palo Verde trees in full blossom, he was said to declare, “This is Paradise Valley.”

Located between Phoenix and Scottsdale, with the Camelback and Mummy Mountains towering above it, Paradise Valley is a top-notch resort destination, with a dozen ultra-chic properties from which to choose. Among them are Camelback Inn and the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain, two properties that regularly crop up in travel magazines’ best-of lists. But as of November 2008, these venerable resorts have some stiff competition from the new kid on the block.

Montelucia (“mountain of light”) is the InterContinental Hotel Group’s first resort-style property in the United States, and after five years in the making and a $300 million investment, it is ready to meet the old-timers head-on. Nestled on 34 acres at the foot of picturesque Camelback Mountain, Montelucia’s landscape and architecture are inspired by the Andalusian region of southern Spain. You see it at the reception area on the main Cortijo Plaza, and in the courtyards, fountains, colorful mosaics and tiles throughout the grounds. You can see it in the dancing waters of the Alhambra Walkway, modeled after the Alhambra Gardens in Grenada, Spain.

But just as Andalusia was influenced by the Romans, Greeks and Moors who occupied it, so the resort has used these cultural influences to temper the Spanish flavor. Just steps from the Alhambra Walkway is Prado, the signature restaurant, and although the paintings on its walls are copies of El Grecos and Goyas that can be found in its namesake Madrid museum, the restaurant itself is inspired by Michelangelo’s Villa San Michele in Italy’s Tuscany region. Another touch of Italy can be found in the resort’s private wedding chapel, Castillo Lucena, with its antique wooden doors and a ballroom representative of the one at Venice’s Hotel Cipriani.

To go from Italy to Morocco, you simply cross the resort’s main courtyard. Playing on the Spanish word for jewel, the Joya Spa has all the requisite spa and salon treatments — mineral and clay wraps, and customized body work featuring real gold and diamond dust — but its real standout is the modern interpretation of the Middle Eastern hammam, or Turkish bath.

There also is a hint of the Middle East at the Kasbah Poolside Bar, although its main attraction — apart from expertly mixed cocktails — is more international than Middle Eastern. Guests can order a sampler platter of more than a dozen kinds of french fries from around the world. You can savor white truffle fries with reggiano from Italy, Japanese fries with teriyaki wasabi dip, Swiss fries with cheese fondue, and New Zealand “chippies” with tartar sauce, among others. Believe me, you’ll never look at those spindly fast-food fries the same way again.

It is tempting to spend all your time taking advantage of everything that Montelucia offers — five swimming pools, the complimentary driving range at the Mountain Shadows Golf Club, the day camp-style Planet Trekkers Kid’s Club for children ages 5 to 12 (not just cut-and-paste crafts here; kids have their own Wii stations and a life-size checker/chessboard, as well as star-gazing, treasure hunts, gelato tastings and pajama jams with dinner and a movie). But taking at least a day to explore the Sonoran Desert is a must.

The McDowell Sonoran Preserve has been created from vast acreage of state trust land. To date, 16,460 acres — roughly half of the preserve — has been given protected status. The area is home to ancient Indian artifacts (in the 19th century, the area was the stronghold of several tribes of the Apache nation); the stately saguaro cactus, which grows only in southeastern California, southern Arizona and northwestern Mexico; and a rich abundance of wildlife, including mountain lions, deer, javelinas, Gila monsters, tarantulas and desert tortoises. Visitors can explore the preserve several ways — on horseback, on a mountain bike, on a guided hike, and one of the most popular, on a Desert Storm Hummer Tour.

Other recreational activities include backpacking, rock climbing and rappelling, hot-air ballooning, and cowboy trail rides and cookouts. Those who look to experience the cowboy way beyond trail rides and campfires can enroll in the Arizona Cowboy College, where the dorms are bunkhouses and the desert floor under starry skies, and the curriculum is cutting, branding and driving cattle.

City slickers needn’t worry. Scottsdale and Phoenix offer a variety of activities, including a leisurely browse through Scottsdale’s Desert Botanical Gardens, with its Cactus House, Succulent House and Sonoran Desert Ecology Trail, and a day at some of the Phoenix’s fascinating museums. They include the nationally acclaimed Heard Museum of Native Cultures and Art and the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, built on the site of 1,000-year-old Hohokam Indian ruins (the Hohokam were a prehistoric people who came to Arizona from northern Mexico about 300 B.C.)

But whatever you choose to do, you’ll find a welcoming oasis back at Montelucia. From the resort’s natural beauty to its warm, ever-helpful staff, it backs up the claim of its personable general manager, Valeriano Antonioli, who says, “I believe we have succeeded in creating the most magnificent resort in the Valley.”

If You Go

Montelucia

The resort has 252 guest rooms, 39 suites and two magnificent presidential suites. All are decorated in the vibrant colors of the Southwest, and many have panoramic views of Camelback Mountain. Dining opportunities range from the fine-dining restaurant Prado and the adjoining Mbar, featuring a selection of tapas along with 100 percent agave tequilas, to the Crave Café, the place to go for a quick snack, a Lavazza coffee or a frothy gelato. The 31,000-square-foot Joya Spa has 19 treatment rooms offering a full menu of spa services, and the salon is under the direction of famed New York celebrity stylist Ray Issa, whose clients have included models and the Sex and the City women. One of the property’s unique features is the Castillo Lucena Wedding Chapel, the only private wedding chapel at a luxury resort in Arizona. Room rates begin at $145 in summer and $245 the rest of the year. 

Where to eat: Montelucia has enough culinary opportunities that you never have to leave the property, but just in case you want a night out in Scottsdale, head for Upstairs at the Estate House  for pre-dinner cocktails on the spectacular rooftop patio before heading over to Digestif  for dinner. A few suggestions from the menu: butternut squash soup, artisan pasta made fresh daily, and pan-seared grouper with onion and bacon-braised cabbage and garlic fondue, accompanied by a crisp California chardonnay or a fruity Spanish Rioja.

At the heart of the enhancement program, named “Project Elevation,” is the resort’s initiative to provide the most comfortable and luxurious experience while being environmentally sensitive in one of nature’s most beautiful settings. The project is conceived with the utmost respect for the creek and its pristine waters. Electric Gem cars will transport guests around the property and to and from Sedona’s shopping district. “We are committed to preserving the natural beauty and sustainability of Sedona and the ecologically-sensitive Oak Creek for generations to come,” says Joe Mottershead, general manager.

“The project will introduce guests to a collection of ultra-luxurious and contemporary hillside cottages, every one offering unparalleled views of Sedona’s famous Red Rocks,” adds Mottershead. These 1200-sqaure foot, one-bedroom cottages will offer indoor and outdoor living spaces including a large observation deck for outdoor entertaining and dining, spacious and discreet outdoor showers, gas fireplaces and many more design features and amenities.image

In addition to the new hillside guest cottages, a newly constructed spa and spa cottages will be added to form a kind of “spa village.” Additionally, existing creekside and garden cottages throughout the resort will be redesigned and upgraded. In short, all cottages will either be newly built or newly designed.

A new feature, the Wanderlust Library and Lounge, is being added to give guests the opportunity to relax with refreshments while perusing well-stocked shelves with travel, travel-related, and art books of the world.

To complete the resort’s “elevation” program, the award winning L’Auberge Restaurant will be redesigned to offer all patrons unobstructed views of Oak Creek. All hard and soft goods will be replaced in the resort’s existing guest accommodations in the main lodge. Mottershead says that new meeting rooms and public spaces will reflect an “elevated” level of service and amenities at the property.image

“The $25 million dollar investment in L’Auberge de Sedona’s expansion and sustainability is an important component of our comprehensive growth strategy,” adds Mottershead . “We strive constantly to deliver unforgettable and unique guest experiences and look forward to showcasing a bigger, better, and one-of-a-kind L’Auberge de Sedona.”

A member of the elite travel products and services organization Virtuoso, L’Auberge de Sedona has established itself as a leader in the hospitality industry and is one of the most highly respected and beloved resorts in North America. Located in breathtaking Sedona by Oak Creek, the resort is minutes away from sophisticated art galleries, entertainment and shopping. Exhilarating outdoor activities such as Jeep tours of the Red Rocks, horseback riding and hot air balloon rides are just minutes away.
In addition to recently receiving its sixth consecutive AAA Four-Diamond Award, L’Auberge de Sedona has been awarded numerous accolades including its most recent designation by Departures Magazine as ”#1 Country Hotel” for North America, as one of the “50 Romantic Retreats in the World” by Travel + Leisure, and one the “World’s Best Places to Stay” in Conde Nast Traveler’s Ninth Annual Gold List.image

L’Auberge de Sedona’s luxurious spa opened in mid-September of 2006

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Royal Palms Resort and Spa in Phoenix has been named one of the 100 Best Luxury hotels in the world according to the 2009 Travelers’ Choice by TripAdvisor. With 117 custom-appointed guest rooms, swimming pool, an award-winning restaurant and intimate courtyards hidden within lush, 100 percent green gardens and grounds, the Royal Palms is the definition of a sumptuous environment of great comfort and ease. 

To help guests get comfortable, the Royal Palms offers luxurious and private in-suite spa experiences in the Alvadora Spa Terraces. These accommodations, designed by world-renowned spa designer Sylvia Sepielli, feature some of the resort’s most stunning views of Camelback Mountain rising above tiered gardens, trickling fountains, crackling fire pits and a reflecting pool. Inside, guests will find mosaic tiles, leather furnishings and four-poster daybed with built-in therapy bed and draped in white linen, two plasma televisions, a Bose stereo, a European soaking tub and a fireplace. Spanish guitar serenades herald the setting sun.

We focused on creating a spa lifestyle rather than a hotel room Sepielli said.

Guests selecting the Alvadora Spa Terraces receive a personalized tour of the suite, 10 percent of retail purchases in the spa and daily greetings including a daily intention card, a stone of the day and a suggested yoga pose to help balance the energy in one of the body’s seven chakras. Upon arrival, these pampered guests are met with a surprise welcome smoothie. Five special indulgences are offered (for additional fees) only to Alvadora Spa Terrace guests including: Hair Ritual (hydrating and rejuvenating hair), the Journey Manicure (an intensive chakra-based treatment), the Journey Pedicure (an aromatherapeutic foot ritual), Thai Massage (a relaxing yet energetic therapeutic massage) and the Savasana (an treatment that energizes the solar plexus, sacral heart, root and crown chakras).

Of course, comfort is only one aspect of the luxury equation. Ease is the other. Unfortunately, romance can make some people very uncomfortable, especially around Valentine’s Day or weddings. Fortunately, the Royal Palms has a Director of Romance making it easy for guests to get the romance right.

My role as Director of Romance goes way beyond ordering flowers and making dinner reservations; it’s more that of a personal romance coach, especially for the ‘romantically challenged.’ It’s designing the complete, personalized, over-the-top experience that I look forward to, and I have the perfect stage for doing so at Royal Palms,” said Robert H. Vickrey upon being named Director of Romance in September 2008. Vickrey had spent more than a year as the Maitre D’ at the Royal Palms’ ultra-romantic restaurant, T. Cook’s before becoming Director of Romance.

The Royal Palms Resort lends itself to romance, from single nights away from home to destination weddings. Guests can take romantic strolls along the stone-paved walkways through 100 percent organic gardens filled with poppies, calendula, snapdragons, purple cornflowers, black-eyed Susans and none of the gravel found in most landscaping around the Valley. Regal Spanish colonial architecture incorporating state of the art materials and unique details from the namesake row of palm trees, 250-year-old fountain and laja negra dating back to 1692 at the entry to the ceramic tile “Lady of Spain” mural from the Delos Cooke’s original home, offer the ideal romantic setting for photos, meals and weddings.

The resort and landscaping are so enchanting, we don’t have to embellish the property at all and are able to focus on fulfilling the couple’s special requests,” explained Jocelyn Kraus, director of catering.

The culinary program and signature T. Cook’s restaurant, under the direction of Executive Chef Lee Hillson has earned praise from just about everyone from America’s Top Restaurants to Zagats. In January 2009, T. Cook’s four-course Inauguration menu offers guests the opportunity get the taste of John McCain’s defeat out of their mouths with dishes inspired by, and in some cases served at, past Presidential Inauguration Dinners. The Inaugural Dinner menu is offered nightly throughout the month of January 2009 for $50 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Incidentally, guests who can correctly match the Presidents to their favorite dishes during January qualify for a one-night stay in the Royal Palms’ Presidential Suite. The winner will be drawn by Chef Hillson on February 2, 2009.

The Royal Palms Resort and Spa is a AAA four Diamond resort and one of 32 independent, upscale, luxury hotels, resorts and golf clubs managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts in the United States. A member of the Historic Hotels of America, the Royal Palms was built in 1929 as the winter home of New York industrialist and financier Delos William Cooke and his wife, Florence. After serving as the private residence of several of the Valley’s most prominent citizens, the property opened its doors to guests as the Royal Palms Inn in 1948. The property underwent a multi-million dollar renovation lasting 12 months in 1997
