As soon as your wheels hit the palm tree-lined cobblestone drive, you'll know you're in a very special place.

You're immediately greeted by friendly valet, a beautiful flowing fountain and a lush courtyard. Large rustic doors stand open and ready...welcoming you to your vacation paradise.
The Royal Palms Resort and Spa was originally the private mansion of a local entrepreneur, built way back in 1929. Through its transformation into a world-class resort, it's Old World style has been preserved to closely resemble that of a lavish Mediterranean villa.
It is one of our smaller
boutique hotels in Scottsdale, so the Royal Palms Resort has a very private, exclusive feel to it... Much more so than larger properties that have a recognizable commercial feel.
You won't get lost down mazes of sterile looking hallways. Instead you will be greeted by beautiful outdoor pathways, taking you from one vine-covered archway to the next...through exotic gardens and cobblestone courtyards...to comfortable seating areas furnished with ornate antiques.
The attention to detail here will impress you. The lush tropical foliage will surround you. And beautiful stone fountains will greet you at almost every turn.
Peaceful courtyards will beckon you.

Intimate seating areas will invite you in for a relaxing retreat.
Every corner you turn, you will find something new...something beautiful to look at.
From large stone fireplaces to ornate tapestries...

You truly feel tucked away, as if you're staying in a private villa hidden in a tropical paradise. Yet you are conveniently located near some of the most highly sought after areas of Scottsdale.
The Royal Palms Resort and Spa is close to some of our best shopping, the
Art District and
Old Town Scottsdale, fabulous dining, nightlife and entertainment options, as well as hiking, mountain biking and more. In my opinion, it is one of the best places you can stay
if you're looking for entertainment and luxury.
Accommodations at this Scottsdale luxury hotel range from well-appointed guestrooms with imported antique furniture, to spacious casitas and elegant villas. Guests enjoy nice touches like a fresh bowl of fruit and complimentary newspaper delivered to their room every morning.
It is quite the experience to open the french doors of your casita, breath in the fresh morning air, while enjoying a cup of coffee on your private balcony... All while listening to softly bubbling fountains and watching hummingbirds flutter from flower to flower.
Imagine that the only decision you'll have to make is whether to lay by the sparkling pool, or enjoy a few hours of pure pampering at the Alvadora Spa.
Many locals know the Alvadora Spa as being one of our best ...Second only to the Sanctuary Spa (which in my opinion is our best spa in Scottsdale).
In addition to the amenities, the Royal Palms Resort is home to one of our most distinguished restaurants in Scottsdale, T Cooks.
T Cooks offers an elegant dining experience, so you will want to dress appropriately for the occasion. Guests of T Cooks enjoy fine Mediterranean cuisine, prepared from fresh seasonal ingredients.
Diners enjoy beautiful atmosphere fitting for a romantic dinner for two or an intimate dinner with friends. Italian frescos and a baby grand piano are just some of the elegant touches that adorn the restaurant.
You can expect the same exceptional service at T Cooks as you do when staying at the resort.
Most guests comment on the
friendly, attentive staff that seem to stop at no end to make your experience as memorable as possible.
As one of our top Scottsdale resorts, the Royal Palms Resort and Spa offers some of the best accommodations you can find.
Stay here, and I'm sure you will fall in love with it just as much as I have.
