This historic resort is a swank spot for relaxation in the gorgeous valley between Camelback and Mummy mountains. Built on 125 acres in the mid-1930s, the latilla (peeled log) beam buildings ooze Southwestern charm, and the grounds are adorned with stunning cacti and desert flowers. Rooms are spacious, and seven suites have private swimming pools. Visit the spa for a para-joba body wrap or an adobe-mud purification treatment.

It is great, however, they keep going into the high price level. It really is the best atmosphere in AZ. I would guess it has a new manager because the continued hike in cost.

We have stayed at the "Other" fancy Phoenix resorts - Four Seasons, Biltmore and Boulders - and the Camelback is definitely in the same league. Beautifully manacured and landscaped grounds. Top notch pool and dining facilities. World class spa and golf. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, although not quite in the same category as the other big three. We had a lovely terrace with fantastic views of Camelback and Mummy mountains. The overall hotel location can't be beat. The lobby and common areas were also classy and interesting.
