Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess holds a logistical advantage that no other luxury property in the corridor can match: it sits directly adjacent to TPC Scottsdale, less than half a mile from both the Stadium and Champions courses. For golfers whose Scottsdale trip centers on a Stadium Course round, the Fairmont eliminates the morning drive entirely. The resort's Golf Concierge service handles tee time bookings, and the proximity means that even a last-minute schedule change does not cost half an hour in the car.

The property itself operates 750 rooms including Fairmont Gold and Privado room categories, six pools, five dining outlets, and a 44,000-square-foot Well and Being Spa that is among the largest in the valley. The AAA Five Diamond designation has been maintained consistently, and the nightly rate of $350 to $700 sits slightly below The Phoenician while delivering a comparable luxury standard. For golf-focused trips where TPC access is the priority, the Fairmont is the most practical luxury option in Scottsdale. The resort earns its position through proximity and service rather than through a dramatic natural setting, and for most visiting golfers, that trade-off is the correct one.
