Best Scottsdale Hotels

The iconic resort is perfectly located, within a 10 minute walk to Old Scottsdale shops and restaurants. The property is vast and well maintained. The recently updated rooms are large, comfortable, clean and well stocked. The pool grounds are fantastic and well staffed, offering bar, food service and ice water accessible to all guests. A relaxing massage made the stay extra special. The staff are friendly, accommodating and attentive to guests. Maegan at the front desk was super sweet, helpful and made sure that all of our requests were taken care of. Overall this was a perfect 4 day getaway.

The valet was helpful and welcoming, when I arrived and left. However, the male at the front desk was not as welcoming.

The property is 5 Diamonds in every way. Location central to all of Scottsdale. Grounds are beautiful and the housekeeping staff is excellent. All appointments in the spacious rooms are premium down to the leather box for the TV remote. We ate breakfasts in the Ironwood Grill and the food and service were 4 star. Best of all, the service and friendly staff elevated this resort to top level. This was the first time at the Princess; it won't be our last.

I see Monte every morning when I get my car and head out to work. He’s always super pleasant to talk to and helps me out whenever I need it. I see a lot of people in my travels and he’s always struck me as someone who cares and is willing to go the extra mile. Thank you, Monte!

Second year in a row I stayed here. Totally wonderful place. The grounds are immaculate, the landscaping gorgeous, the restaurant excellent, and all the staff welcoming and friendly. Also like the gym, how you can easily from the premises hike Pinnacle Peak, Like any 5 star resort you pay the price...and here you get what you pay for.

We stayed here for six nights in early October as part of a vacation to Arizona where we saw the Arizona Cardinals-Cincinnati Bengals NFL game and also took a day trip to see the Grand Canyon/Sedona/Oak Creek Canyon. This hotel — and the staff — might have been the best we've encountered on a U.S. vacation. The pool was big and wonderfully refreshing (highs were 97-99 degrees while we were there), and plenty of towels were available at the pool every day. There was a restroom next to the pool (we've stayed at places where this isn't the case, and it's incredibly inconvenient). The hot tub and fitness center were near the pool and looked nice, but we didn't use either. Our suite was big and the balcony was nice, everything worked like it was supposed to. We only ate breakfast at Agave, the on-site restaurant, but the Huevos Rancheros was beyond amazing. Hashim was our server all 3 times we ate there, and he was terrific; friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond repeatedly with his service and kindness. Ditto Jim driving the shuttle, and Dominick working the front desk when we checked in and driving the shuttle. They offer free shuttle rides (though you should tip) anywhere within a 5-mile radius. As is custom for my wife and I, we went to a grocery store nearby when we arrived to stock up on drinks, snacks, etc. Jim helped bring the groceries up to our third-floor room, and he and Dominick offered plenty of tips and helped whenever possible. We are Marriott Bonvoy members, and that came in especially handy on this trip. In addition to using points to pay for the stay (we still had to pay sales tax & a daily resort fee), we received a daily $30 restaurant credit & free bottled water whenever we wanted it. The landscaping was solid (plenty of palm trees, which I love) and cactus plants throughout. The setting, with the McDowell Mountains to the east and TPC Scottsdale right next door, was good as well. There really isn't anywhere you can go (restaurants, shopping, etc.) within walking distance, so either rely on the shuttle, drive and pay the $20/day parking fee (we opted not to) or Uber/Lyft everywhere. The parking fee kinda stinks because the location really doesn't call for it unless TPC is hosting an event. Finally, housekeeping was really, really good (daily service, which is increasingly rare) and the rooms, furniture, and bedding were all clean and in good shape. Just an incredible experience from start to finish. When/if we have reason to visit the area again, we'll definitely stay here, and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone staying the Phoenix area for any reason.

Location is close to all the attractions in Scottsdale old town. Clean and modern amenities and facilities.

This is my second time at this Hotel with my family. The staff provided excellent service and were very courteous upon arrival and with any questions I had. The room was clean and large. It has been updated nicely with granite and tiled shower, and nice furnishings. As with most Embassy Suites, there is a sitting tv area with fridge, sink, microwave, and small dining table. I had a pool and mountain view, which was nice. I didn't use the pool, but families appeared to enjoy it. There's really nice sectional seating with fire pits next to the pool, which would be great when it gets cooler. I enjoyed the evening reception which was better than the 1st time. Due to covid restrictions being lifted, they provided light snacks, such as cheeses, veggies, chips, and a few dips. There is a two drink limit per person, and it's free. The morning breakfast is always a nice perk and very good. I gave this hotel four stars only because it is an older hotel, but it's still very charming. I definitely will be back again.
