Book the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess with VIP Benefits

Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is a large luxury resort in North Scottsdale, set in the Sonoran Desert north of Phoenix. It is best for travelers who want a full resort experience: pools, spa, golf access, strong restaurants, seasonal events, family facilities, and enough space to stay for several days without running out of things to do. The resort is known for its AAA Five Diamond status, Well & Being Spa, six pools, Fairmont Gold, Privado accommodations, golf at nearby TPC Scottsdale, and restaurants such as Bourbon Steak, La Hacienda, and Toro. It works for couples, families, golfers, spa weekends, meetings, and winter-sun trips.

North Scottsdale Setting

The location is one of the main reasons to book Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. North Scottsdale gives guests desert light, open resort space, golf, shopping, and easier access to the north side of the Phoenix metro area. Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter, TPC Scottsdale, and many restaurants are close by. This is not an Old Town walking hotel. It is a desert resort. Guests choose it when they want pools, wellness, golf, and a relaxed Scottsdale base. Old Town Scottsdale, galleries, nightlife, and museums are reachable by car, but the resort itself is the centre of the stay. That distinction matters. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is strongest when guests plan time on property. A good stay includes pool time, spa time, dinner on site, and maybe golf or a desert outing. It is a place to use, not just a place to sleep.

Rooms & Privado

The resort offers a wide range of rooms, suites, Fairmont Gold categories, and Privado accommodations. Room choice matters because the property is large and guests use different parts of the resort in different ways. Some rooms are better for families and pool access. Others are better for couples, quiet stays, or golf views. Fairmont Gold gives the stay a more private service layer, with lounge access and added attention. It is useful for guests who want the benefits of a large resort but prefer a more controlled rhythm. Privado is the more exclusive option, with a villa-style feel, upgraded service, and a quieter sense of retreat. Families should think about space and pool location. Couples may want a room that feels more secluded. Spa-focused guests may prefer easy access to Well & Being. The right category can make a big difference here.

Six Pools

Pools are a major part of the resort. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess has six distinctive pools, which allows different guests to find the right mood. Some pools are lively and family-friendly. Others are calmer, more adult-oriented, or linked to the spa. Sonoran Splash is designed for families, with water features and a more playful atmosphere. Sunset Beach brings a sandy, resort-style pool setting. Princess Pool is a classic central pool. The Well & Being rooftop pool gives spa guests a quieter place to recover and relax. This range is one of the resort's biggest strengths. Scottsdale pool days are not an afterthought. They are often the main event, especially in spring, summer, and during school breaks.

Well & Being Spa

Well & Being Spa is one of the best reasons to choose this resort. It is a serious wellness facility with treatments, fitness classes, relaxation areas, and a dedicated spa pool environment. The spa gives the property a strong adult retreat element even when the wider resort is busy. The experience works for solo travelers, couples, and groups. Guests can book treatments, take fitness classes, use wellness areas, or spend time at the spa pool. In a desert setting, that kind of recovery space matters. This is also useful for longer stays. A spa day can balance golf, family activities, meetings, or time in the Arizona sun. The best visits do not treat the spa as a side note. They build it into the trip.

Golf & Desert Time

Scottsdale is one of the major golf destinations in the United States, and Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is well placed for that market. TPC Scottsdale is nearby, and the resort works well for golf weekends, corporate golf trips, and winter escapes. The desert setting also supports other kinds of travel. Guests can hike, explore desert landscapes, visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West, shop in nearby districts, or plan day trips around the Phoenix area. The resort gives these trips a comfortable home base. For many guests, the best rhythm is simple: golf or desert activity in the morning, pool in the afternoon, spa or dinner in the evening. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is built for that pattern.

Dining At The Princess

Dining is another strength. Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina is the resort's polished steakhouse and one of its best-known restaurants. La Hacienda by Richard Sandoval brings a Mexican dining focus, while Toro Latin Restaurant & Rum Bar at TPC Scottsdale adds another strong option tied to the golf setting. The resort also has more casual poolside and family-friendly venues. That range is important because guests may stay several nights. A large resort needs enough dining to support couples, families, groups, and conference guests without making every meal feel the same. Dining on property also saves time. Scottsdale has many good restaurants, but leaving the resort every night is not always the point. The Princess works best when the restaurants, bars, pools, and spa are part of the stay.

Who Should Stay

Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is best for travelers looking for a luxury Scottsdale resort with strong pool life, a serious spa, golf access, family activities, seasonal events, and several dining options. It suits families, couples, golfers, spa travelers, groups, and business guests attending meetings or conferences. It may not be the right choice if you want a small boutique hotel, a quiet urban stay, or direct walking access to Old Town Scottsdale. This is a large resort with a lot happening, especially during holidays and peak family periods. Book Fairmont Scottsdale Princess if you want a polished Sonoran Desert resort with Fairmont Gold, Privado options, six pools, Well & Being Spa, nearby TPC Scottsdale golf, Bourbon Steak, La Hacienda, and the kind of facilities that make a Scottsdale stay feel complete.
