Resort The Phoenician, Scottsdale
Expert reviews
“In a town where luxurious, expensive resorts are the rule, the Phoenician still stands apart, primarily in the realm of service. The gilded, marbled lobby with towering fountains is the backdrop for a $25 million fine-art collection.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Phoenix.
“Situated on 250 acres nestled right up against Camelback Mountain, this palatial getaway—recently given a spectacular complete makeover—is the model of a world-class resort. The expansive grounds are dotted with magnificent Native American sculptures; two giant works by Allan Houser frame the main lobby entrance.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Phoenix.
“Located at the base of Camelback Mountain, The Phoenician, A Luxury Collection Resort is a cactus-dappled, sepia-toned retreat with sprawling green lawns, spouting statue fountains and a community of curvy pools cuddled together amid a collage of cabanas.”

Fabulous
.The staff we interacted with was very good on the whole; a few problems. The food in the lower restaurant (Mowbry etc) was always delicious, especially the egg white frittata at breakfast and the hanger steak at dinner. The grounds and general areas are always immaculate; we particularly enjoy the cactus garden! We appreciated the housekeeping staff and the bell staff.
The young man who checked us in didn't explain our room choice and we luckily changed that the next day. The technician in the spa had no formal training in facials - for the price, I expected more. This in contrast to my technician last year who was excellent and well worth it. If you cut corners, cut the price!

beautiful site, great accommodations
the restaurants did not cater to a mass appeal. Very narrow food choices. Went off property to eat all meals.

Very good
The grounds were beautiful and we'll maintained. Staff extremely helpful and professional. Great water features
My room's view might as well have been in a prison. I understand you shouldn't expect much for $ 450.00 a night , but really ?

It was a solid, nice luxury hotel with great service and ambience (Cactus garden) and delicious food
The location was okay- didn't seem to be around anything in Scottsdale but it was our first time there so not sure if there was a central Scottsdale location but the property is quiet. The rooms were modern and clean and roomy- very nice bathroom. The customer service was great and LOVED the cactus garden walk not far from our room. The restaurant on the first floor overlooking the pool was fabulous!
Some of the furniture in the room and on patio was old and stained-looking. The pool was a bit dirty... hair and dried leaves so could have been cleaner.

Everything was beautiful. Pleasant and courteous staff. Loved all the warm pools. Pools stayed open 24 hours.
I changed room as I preferred staying in the main building. Where they had elevator access.

Everything was clean. The pool layout is pretty cool. Services providers on the property are very responsive.

Service was excellent! Will return and had a great stay.
Food and Drink prices were very expensive. Don’t mind paying more at upscale resort but they were exceptionally high.

Excellent staff, accommodations and food.
Gift shop has no refund policy. Manager was not helpful had to go to the registration desk. Receipt said refund within 30 days of purchase and she only honored due to the registration desk calling her. Items are expensive so beware before you purchase. Not owned by the hotel.

Great vacation! Will come again
For the cost of the vacation, I would expect complimentary breakfast! Eating 3 meals a day at the restaurants cost as much as the vacation!
14 dollars for a bowl of oatmeal, this is just plan ridiculous!

EXACTLY what I needed from a vacation
The restaurants in the hotel were a major PLUS and the food was exceptional (at J&G where we ate)

Greatest place!
My family and I just spent 6 nights and loved every minute! The place is absolutely gorgeous and has everything you need. The staff were the friendliest staff and went above and beyond. All the restaurants are great. Our last night we ate at J&G steakhouse. It was amazing! We will definitely be back again to stay at the Phoenician.

Perfect getaway for me and my wife’s anniversary!
Everything was luxurious and wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our 20 yr anniversary.
Food was too expensive and there were a few spiders in the bedroom but nothing major.

This property is luxurious
This is a five star resort and all the restaurants have amazing food

Dress nice if you want fast, friendly service and prepare to boil in the hot tub.
Food was good as always and location is top notch for accessing Old Town Scottsdale. J & G Steakhouse is one of the best Jean Georges locations we have experienced.
The staff in the lobby bar were very snooty; observation suggest they very much rate guests based on their appearance. Also, the hot tubs shut off at 6pm! Considering we were there in the summer months, one would only likely use the hot tub at night.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. I did ask for a room with a different view because our first room overlooked the ro
Beautiful location. Great food and drinks. Excellent service.
They make you close the umbrellas by the pool when it gets too windy. This is unacceptable in the hot AZ sun, at a high end resort during the Summer season…. get more substantial umbrellas or figure out how to manage the issue so guests can be comfortable. Most are there to relax by the pool, and not having access to the umbrellas is sort of ludicrous.

the pool was nice and the staff was very friendly.
there was black mold in the vent in my hotel room. The room in geberal was nothing special.

Very poor
There was NO ADVANCE notice that there was an emergency drill. I was told that the common areas had a pre announcement that it was JUST A DRILL. I did not hear any pre announcement IN MY ROOM. I honestly thought there was an active shooter on property. Management was dismissive when I explained this. Then, the next morning at 530am, a leaf blowing grounds keeper woke me up. I was only there for.a week to just get some much needed rest. At 545am I walked to the front desk and checked out and immediately went to the Scottsdale Fairmont Princes. After telling my story at my next business meeting with my staff, we have collectively made the decision to remove the Phoenician hotel from our out of town hotel list for our clients, business associates, family and friends. The assistant manager, Deven, sent me an offensive plancating email which I distributed and discussed during our staff meeting. Not one person in attendance could understand his purpose except for irritating an already unhappy guest. The Scottsdale Fairmont Princes actually gave us 2 free spa services to make sure we were able to relax after the Phoenician experience. The Scottsdale Fairmont Princes wants our business. The Phoenician could car less.
Everything Except the Spa.

Nice stay but would rather choose another facility due to excessive price of rather plain room
The outside grounds were wonderful. Loved the gym.
The king room was sort of plain and dated. Good attention given to the outside area but the room itself was disappointing. I have stayed at much better decorated rooms for far less money. Over priced.

I thought the hotel in general was good. I picked this hotel because of the oversized rooms as compared to many other ho
the location to Scottsdale is very good. the room size was good. the pools were very nice. the staff were very courteous. the bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. the mini bar fridge was stocked with a nice variety of drinks. my daughter left her IPad at the pool. one would’ve thought the staff were FBI agents as they attempted and succeeded to track it down in a matter of minutes♥️. the guacamole was excellent. the shower was excellent. the bathroom was a very nice size.
there was no decent bath soap. the soap provided was very small maybe a little larger than a quarter. the bathroom amenities were not very impressive. I felt the drinks were very over priced. $10 for a bottle of Mexican coke. (much tastier than American coke btw)

Nice but pricey
Great location amenities fantastic golf was really wonderful
Great amenities just be prepared to pay top dollar. Not a huge variety of restaurants on site but what we experienced the food was great. We had poor service one day in the breakfast restaurant and they compd us the meal so that was helpful.
