The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess sits less than half a mile from TPC Scottsdale's Stadium and Champions courses, the closest luxury hotel to the tournament tracks in the corridor. The 750-room property includes Fairmont Gold and Privado room categories, six pools, five dining outlets, and a 44,000-square-foot Well and Being Spa that ranks among the largest in the valley. AAA Five Diamond status has held consistently.
The practical advantage here is logistical. If your trip centres on a TPC Scottsdale round, the Fairmont eliminates the morning drive entirely; even a last-minute schedule change does not cost you half an hour in the car. The Golf Concierge handles tee time bookings for the broader Scottsdale inventory, including Troon North, Grayhawk, and We-Ko-Pa. The setting is manicured rather than dramatic. You are paying for proximity, service, and spa scale, not for desert-mountain views.
$350 to $700 nightly, sitting slightly below The Phoenician for comparable luxury. Book direct or through Expedia. For golf-focused trips where TPC access is the priority, this is the most practical luxury base in Scottsdale.
