The Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona area is home to many beautiful, highly regarded hotels and resorts. And a number of years ago, when I lived in Scottsdale, I frequently drove by one particular resort that never failed to delight me. It always caught my eye because of its stunning entrance: The Royal Palms Resort & Spa. I knew it was one of the oldest resorts in the area, and very highly rated; but I never actually went in and explored it for myself.
Consequently, on my last trip to Arizona, I decided it would be the place to stay. What a good decision! It is as glorious as its name suggests. Nestled at the base of Camelback Mountain, what was once a private residence has been turned into a boutique resort par excellence. The sweep of the beautiful driveway, guarded by towering palms, takes you to a subtle and elegant, historic adobe structure – marked by hand hewn beams and hand forged iron works. Everything glistens with an unassuming richness that new properties “kill” (and spend huge bucks) to emulate.
