This luxury boutique hotel offers sweeping views of Paradise Valley, as well as an infinity pool with views of Camelback Mountain. The Sanctuary Spa offers Asian-inspired treatments in 12 outdoor and indoor treatment rooms, along with a meditation garden, reflecting pond and Watsu pool.
With modern architecture set into the desert landscape, the spa also offers fitness center and yoga and Pilates studio, as well as five championship tennis courts.
The hotel's restaurant, Elements, is a draw in itself. Nab a window table and enjoy the sparkling Paradise Valley view. Then focus on chef Beau MacMillan's fare. MacMillan, an Iron Chef winner, may offer such seasonal dishes as foie gras teriyaki, chile-rubbed swordfish or roasted quail with sweet-potato grits.
Sanctuary offers 105 mountain and spa casitas, which offer panoramic views of the landmark mountainside. Features within the rooms range from private outdoor soaking tubs to wood-burning fireplaces.
