Five Diamond resort on 250 acres at the base of Camelback Mountain, with on-site golf and a spa that draws its own following.
The Phoenician occupies 250 acres at the base of Camelback Mountain, a position that provides both a visual anchor and the sense of remove that justifies AAA Five Diamond pricing. The 643 rooms include 62 suites, and the property operates at a scale that creates its own ecosystem: three-level pool, full athletic club, and spa facilities that draw non-golf visitors on their own merits. The on-site Phoenician Golf Club, while not among the 18 courses in this guide, provides immediate access for guests who want a casual round without leaving the property.
For serious golf trips, the Phoenician functions as a luxury base camp. TPC Scottsdale sits roughly eight miles northeast, and the major north Scottsdale courses are within 30 minutes. The property's concierge service handles tee time coordination at external courses, and the resort's positioning on Camelback Road places it central to the entire corridor. The nightly rate of $400 to $800 reflects the Five Diamond standard, the location, and the breadth of amenities. Travelling companions who do not golf will find enough on the property to fill multiple days without repetition.
