The Phoenician
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: The Phoenician gives the feeling of being away from it all, while offering a location conveniently centered between Scottsdale and Phoenix. The clientele consists of vacationers looking for a desert getaway and businesspeople attending conferences. Families appreciate the nine swimming pools and Funician Kids' Club, and couples enjoy the romantic desert setting and private patios.
Amenity highlights: The Centre for Well-Being Spa offers a comprehensive selection of skin treatments, body massages, beauty treatments, and hair styling. Guests can wander through a 2-acre cactus garden, admire an extensive international art collection, and enjoy nine swimming pools (including a children's water slide), a 27-hole championship golf course, and 12 secluded tennis courts.
Insider tip: Beautiful red rock Camelback Mountain borders the hotel. Hikers enjoy excellent trailside views, desert animals, and plant life. Hikes start at the Echo Canyon Recreation Area, which provides shady areas for picnics. Parking is limited—knowledgeable hikers plan a little extra time to find a space if planning a sunset hike.
Property Amenities
This elaborate Arizona resort offers unique amenities for discriminating travelers, including the Meditation Atrium at the Centre for Well-Being Spa. Sounds of gently falling water soothe guests in a room filled with greenery and softly filtered sunlight, where meditation classes are offered regularly. For more boisterous fun, one of the hotel's pools features a 165-foot water slide.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX): Approximate driving time to the Phoenician is 20 minutes and distance is 9 miles.
Driving directions from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport: Take the 44th St N exit and continue on 44th St for about 6 miles. Turn right (east) onto Camelback Rd and turn left onto Phoenician Blvd/Jokake Blvd.
Getting there: Guests can pre-arrange pick-up by the hotel’s contracted town car service (fee more than $36). Alternatives include taxis ($26–$35)or unscheduled limousines from the airport (starting prices $16–$25 for up to two passengers and $7 each additional person). Rental cars are available online.
Getting around: The hotel is in a residential area and a mile away from shopping and dining sites, so walking (especially in the heat) is not the best way around. The hotel’s contracted town car service is available 24 hours a day, but many visitors rent a car to travel around to the area’s wide range of attractions. Guests also can taxi to downtown Scottsdale and hop on the air-conditioned trolleys which stop at many sites, including Old Town and the arts districts. Trolley rides are free and run Monday–Saturday from mid-November through the end of May.
All prices are subject to change.
