Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale

The property

Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale takes its identity from the massive granite formations that predate human settlement in the area by millions of years. The 209 rooms, run as a Curio Collection by Hilton property with AAA Four Diamond status, sit among and around these formations in a way that makes the landscape the primary architectural feature.

What to expect

You'll find a 33,000 square-foot spa, four pools, six restaurants, and rock climbing and tennis facilities that use the terrain rather than fighting it. Boulders South, Jay Morrish's 1983 desert design that threads through the boulder formations, is on site. The North Course has been members-only since 2023, so public play concentrates on the South. You get direct course access without a morning drive, and the visual environment between your room and the first tee is unlike anything else in Scottsdale.

Rates and booking

$250 to $500 per night. The Boulders competes on setting rather than scale, offering a more intimate, landscape-driven experience than the 500-plus-room properties along the main Scottsdale corridor.
