Royal Palms Resort and Spa

Royal Palms Resort and Spa is on Camelback Road in Phoenix. It sits a twenty-minute walk from the base of Camelback Mountain and is a short drive from the shopping at Biltmore Fashion Park.

The resort offers a quieter experience than the newer builds surrounding the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. While other nearby properties focus on modern glass-and-steel architecture, this hotel feels like a holdover from a different era. The grounds rely on a sprawling layout of courtyards and gardens, making it the better choice if you prefer wandering through shaded pathways over navigating a vertical lobby. It provides a distinct sense of seclusion that the more commercial corners of the district fail to offer.
