ROOMS & SUITES: 119

Located at the foot of Camelback Mountain, the Royal Palms combines the graciousness and sophistication of a Mediterranean villa with the intimacy and privacy of a secluded retreat.

Guests enter the resort through a driveway lined with regal palm trees and are greeted by a 250-year-old fountain in the circular porte cochere. Originally built in 1929 as a summer retreat for Cunard Steamship executive and financier Delos Cooke, the property underwent a multimillion dollar restoration, re-opening as a luxury resort.

Mirroring the Old World charm of the estate, Royal Palms' Four-Star Alvadora Spa is tranquil, warm and intimate. Nationally acclaimed T. Cook's restaurant boasts select seasonal dishes from the Mediterranean and exotic surrounding regions.

Conveniently located between the prestigious Phoenix Biltmore area and popular Old Town Scottsdale, Royal Palms is ideally situated for leisure and business travelers searching for a unique and extraordinary experience.

Featuring over 20,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, the resort's meeting salons are rich in design, character, detail and history while meeting today's need for advanced technology. Antique furniture, huge stone fireplaces and views of tranquil gardens give conference attendees the feeling they are the honored guests of a grand estate. All aspects of the resort's conference services and venues have been designed to provide a "residential" experience for meeting attendees rather than the traditional commercial ambiance.
