Sanctuary Resort and Spa – Paradise Valley, Arizona
Sanctuary is one of the more exclusive luxury resorts in Arizona.

They are primarily known for their incredible fine dining establishment, Elements. The Asian fusion cuisine is one of the top rated in Phoenix.
The Scott Resort and Spa – Old Town Scottsdale
The Scott Resort is like stepping back in time, and on to the set of the Blue Hawaii, circa 1961. As soon as you step in, you’re greeted by some stunning architecture, and their (very popular) hotel bar The Canal Club. They are closed until July 1st, for some remodeling, but we cannot wait to see what they have done!
Mountain Shadows Resort – Paradise Valley
