Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale
The key word is “contemporary.” Mountain Shadows shakes off the stucco kitsch that’s the default Phoenix-area style and opts for something cleaner, more cosmopolitan, and altogether more modern. The interiors retain a very Southwestern sense of place, even in spite of the largely neutral color palette — the fact that many rooms have views of Camelback Mountain through floor-to-ceiling glass certainly helps — and in terms of comforts every room is up to the latest luxury standard: 55-inch televisions, 24-hour room service, and cocktail carts replacing the sad old minibar.
Along with the twin 75-foot swimming pools, Hearth ’61, the open-air restaurant, lounge and cocktail bar is the centerpiece of the resort, while the Citizens Club, with its expansive fitness facilities and on-site juice bar keep you healthy. There’s also the Sanctuary Spa and the Short Course, an 18-hole par 3 where you can keep your skills sharp or warm up for one of the area’s many championship courses. The aim was to put Paradise Valley back on the map for a new generation, and on that score you’d have to judge it a success.
