I shared photos of the white sandy beach I visited in Arizona in my last post. For today’s Friday field trip, I am sharing some additional glimpses from my stay at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. This hotel is currently celebrating its 28 consecutive year as a five Diamond resort. It boasts 6 pools and 2 18-hole championship golf courses.
The most impressive part of the resort for me was the spa. Even though I did not utilize the services the spa had to offer, I did take a quick tour. From the rooftop pool with mountain views to all the thoughtfully landscaped courtyards, the way the facility is integrated with nature is truly beautiful.
The 5 restaurants on property also utilize the outdoors. My favorite outdoor seating is at the restaurant Toro. So comfy looking, don’t you think? And, some great views as well.
It was also a restaurant – La Hacienda – that housed my favorite lighting fixture. (You probably know by now that I have a thing for lighting!)
The Fairmont strives to provide harmony with nature through vast open spaces, lushly landscaped grounds, and plenty of Saguaro cacti.
A fun spot for visitors to party is in the faux Western town created on the resort property. There is plenty of ambience to add Western vibes to any gathering!
If you know me, you know I never visit a hotel without checking out the desserts! My goal is usually to do the best I can to meet the pastry chefs when I am on property – they are my rock stars! My favorites at The Fairmont were this chocolate raspberry torte and a deconstructed Boston Cream Pie. I plan on recreating the later!
I hope you enjoyed this little visit to The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess! Thanks for stopping by!
Have a fabulous weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
