Description: This resort has a lovely, laid-back feel to it, even though it’s packed with sophistication and amenities to satisfy all tastes. Guests can relax amid 125 acres in the scenic crook between Camelback Mountain and Mummy Mountain of Paradise Valley. The hacienda-like resort has earned many awards since opening in 1936. Recent renovations have added pueblo-style casitas nestled together to imitate a village, a new lobby bar, and an outdoor courtyard. Casita interiors were redecorated, and a large pool with fun water features was added, among other amenities. The property has 427 adobe-style casitas with private patios or balconies, plus 26 suites. Amenities include 6 tennis courts, a golf pro shop, 36 holes of championship golf, and 5 restaurants, including the BLT Steak restaurant led by chef Laurent Tourondel. The 2 golf courses are a short distance by car. The Spa at Camelback Inn offers 32 treatment rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
