JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa

An iconic desert oasis
VERIFIED LUXURY

Cradled between two mountains and wrapped in a river of flowers, JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa remains the welcoming oasis it has been since opening in 1936. Generations of travelers have fallen in love with Arizona’s tall cactus desert because of languid days spent at this iconic inn where time seemingly stands still.

The resort sprawls across 125 acres, yet still evokes a soothing intimacy with its artful design. Pathways curve among the desert landscaping, splashy streams and rippling flowerbeds that surround the Southwestern-styled buildings. Each of the 453 guest casitas and suites features luxurious amenities, desert-inspired décor and private patios or balconies, because life spills outside here in the shadow of Mummy and Camelback mountains.

Guests can test themselves on 36 holes of championship golf, rejuvenate in the soothing spa, relax amid a complex of swimming pools and indulge at seven restaurants. Yet many cherished memories may come from something as simple as a coffee enjoyed in the lush gardens bathed in velvety morning light amid a chorus of birdsong.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Despite innovations and upgrades, the inn stays connected to its storied past. The grand living room of the lodge and Rita’s Cantina still have the original adobe bricks formed on site in 1936 from mud, clay and straw.
  • The airy 32,000-square-foot Spa at Camelback Inn embraces its desert surroundings by incorporating indigenous plants, herbs and elements into a full-service menu of treatment options.
  • The distinctive restaurants offer something for every appetite and mood, from poolside burgers and smoothies at Sprouts at the Spa to legendary chicken enchiladas washed down by classic margaritas on the Rita’s Cantina patio to an evening of fine dining in the upscale Lincoln Steakhouse & Bar.
  • The 18 holes of outstanding golf here combine the perfect blend of shot-making challenges and spectacular mountain vistas. Camelback Golf Club also provides club fitting, private lessons and a 36,000-square-foot clubhouse everything revolves around.
  • The Jackrabbit Pool Experience contains a watery playground that includes a children’s pool, an adult pool and the main pool with Hoppin’ Jacks serving food and drinks. Shady cabanas can be rented poolside for a carefree day of relaxation.

Things to Know

  • In addition to the casita-style guest rooms, which were all upgraded in 2019, Camelback Inn also offers 27 lavish suites, many with private pools and, of course, breath-stealing views.
  • Two state-of-the-art fitness centers, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a pitch and putt golf course, bike rentals, a playground, hiking trails, and regular curated experiences will keep even the most active guests on the go as much as they desire.
  • Guests can enjoy live music every evening from 6 to 9 on the courtyard patio, an idyllic spot for dinner, drinks, or just watching sunset hues streak across the high cliffs of Camelback Mountain.
