"One of six pools at this sprawling North Scottsdale resort, the Princess’s Sunset Beach is an actual beach with 6,000 square feet of sand, palm trees, and drinks to match. Cocktails like caipirinha and a piña-paloma hybrid embrace the tropical. Frozen rose and tequila sunshine are available by the frosted carafe. The menu of sparklers brings diversity, and some poolside loungers kick back in oversized chairs with bottles of cava, Prosecco, and bubbly rose. For food, diners can choose from an array of colorful bowls, wraps, and more." - Chris Malloy

"It’s all about versatility at this 65-acre desert favorite. At the Arizona resort's Trailblazers Family Adventure Center, little ones can enjoy a different themed adventure each week—including a life-size game of Pac-Man. At the Sonoran Splash Pool, a 200-foot twisting water slide will keep the kids busy while you unwind in a luxurious private cabana. Nearby, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix offers more than 300 hands-on exhibits. When hunger strikes, take your pick from five award-winning restaurants and bars on the property." - Nina Kokotas Hahn
"Scottsdale, Arizona boasts 333 days a year of sunshine and impeccably powder blue skies, and the almost always sunny weather reflects off the six glimmering pools of the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. While Scottsdale definitely won't see a white Christmas, the hotel goes all out by stringing its palm trees with lights, having on-site holiday characters meet-and-greet the younger guests, and opening up its firepits for s'more roasting. Not to mention the skating rink where guests can cut ice beneath the stars."
"Scottsdale, Arizona boasts 333 days a year of sunshine and impeccably powder blue skies, and the almost always sunny weather reflects off the six glimmering pools of the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. While the Spanish Colonial architecture of the resort is classically Southwestern, the pools are refreshing reprieves from the at-times record-breaking heat. Kids will have a blast at the Sonoran Splash Pool, with its twisting twin water slides, and at the adults-only Sonoran Landing Pool, older guests can lounge about on floating bean bags and oversized hammocks. Neutrals and umbers theme the various guest room and suite offerings, and views show off the estate’s golfing grounds, gardens, and lagoon. The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is also just a stone’s throw away from Scottsdale’s arts and culture venues such as the Heard Museum, natural landmarks like the McDowell Sonoran preserve, and shopping venues such as the city’s Fashion Square." - CNT Editors
