Character and identity
Tiered across 53 acres on the flank of Camelback Mountain, this 110-key resort trades resort sprawl for a quieter, vertical layout: casitas, one- and two-bedroom suites, and private villas, many with their own entrances, stepping up the hillside toward the valley views below. The design language is midcentury and restrained, slump stone, light woods, neutrals, with black lacquer-tiled bathrooms. Elements anchors the dining scene with seasonal, globally inflected cooking and a sunset patio; Jade Bar handles cocktails. The Asian-influenced spa, complete with reflection pond and meditation garden, runs to ten treatment rooms. Service is attentive without hovering.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and small groups of friends in their 30s to 50s who want a design-aware, view-driven retreat with strong food, a serious spa, and easy access to Camelback hiking, all within a short drive of downtown Scottsdale. Wellness-minded travellers and corporate groups also land well here.
Should look elsewhere:
Families with young children should think twice: the main pool is adults-only on weekends, and the overall mood skews grown-up. Anyone wanting a high-energy pool scene, walkable nightlife at the door, or a single flat resort footprint (rather than a hillside navigated by golf cart) will find the format frustrating.
Bottom line
What sets this property apart is the geography: a hillside perch on Camelback that delivers genuine seclusion, big valley views, and a sunset on the Elements patio that justifies the trip on its own. Spend up for a mountain suite higher on the hill for the wrap-around balcony and fireplace, and aim for cooler months when the patio and pool are at their best.
