My family and I will be travelling to the Phoenix area in late April. I would like some suggestions on a resort/hotel that would have a separate suite for the baby to sleep and a small kitchen area to heat up bottles. Ideally we would also like great pools, adjacent golf and good restaurants within walking distance. We have stayed at the Marriott Desert Ridge and while we enjoyed it, we really need a separate area for the baby, since she goes to sleep early, and we want to be able to watch TV in the next room. Can any one recommend a great place for us?

Thanks!

In Scottsdale the Millenium McCormack ranch has fully equiped condo units but this isn't walking distance to reataurants.

We head out to Scottsdale every April to visit relatives and we always stay at the Chaparral Suites which used to be an Embassy Suites. All the accomodations are a bedroom plus a living room area and I believe most have a small fridge - I can't remember offhand whether we had a microwave or not. Also, they have full breakfast every morning, and free cocktail hour in the evening (which you may or may not need!). 2 separate pool areas and jacuzzis. The location is good (corner of Chaparral and Scottsdale) but not sure how accessible it is by foot to many restaurants. Hope this helps.

Hi Dana-
I'm a big fan of the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs. The units (all, I believe) have a separate bedroom, living room and kitchenette. They have 3 restaurants onsite (two casual, one fancy). Both would involve hikes up/down steep hills, but they will send a golf-cart to transport you. There are no other restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.

The Hilton Squaw Peak has the great pools.

What's "walking distance"? Within a short distance from the hotel are:
Lantana Grill(on hotel grounds)
Aunt Chilada's (.25 mile)
Tutti Santi(great Italian..right across from hotel)
Gallaghers (Bar with pretty good eats..right across from hotel)
Convivo(One of the top places in Phoenix..not more than a mile away)
Richardsons (wonderful food..2 miles)
Super Dragon (decent Chinese..1 mile)
Phoenix City Grill (good food..2 miles)

But there's no golf on site.
