Royal Palms Resort and Spa

Royal Palms Resort and Spa is located in Phoenix, Arizona, at the foot of Camelback Mountain. Combining historic charm with modern-day amenities and services, Royal Palms Resort and Spa offers guests a luxurious and tranquil retreat. Its origins date back to the 1920s, when it was originally a Spanish Colonial Revival villa, developed by New York financier Delos Willard Cooke. Initially named ""El Vernadero"" and utilized as a winter retreat for Cooke's wife, Florence, this estate has grown over the decades into a leading resort while preserving much of the original architectural flair and distinct heritage.

Accommodations at this resort range from standard rooms to suites and villas and are boldly Mediterranean in flavor, balancing their desert surroundings. The dignified furniture and thoughtful design in each room invite guests to experience a residential feel. Spacious bedrooms, private patios, and stunning views of vibrant courtyards and lush gardens offer guests an unmatched level of relaxation and uniqueness in every stay at the facility.

Royal Palms Resort and Spa also hosts several weddings and corporate events. Whether the ceremony and reception take place in one of its many courtyards-the desert landscapes and beautiful views of Camelback Mountain set the perfect backdrop-the resort's professional staff pays attention to every detail, from catering to guest accommodations. Accor offers 20,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor event space for corporate gatherings, sweetened by award-winning catering services and a central location between Phoenix and Scottsdale.

The Alvadora Spa at the Royal Palms embraces relaxation and rejuvenation by drawing inspiration from the healing properties of the desert. The spa offers a range of organic therapies and Mediterranean-inspired treatments to revitalize the body and soul. Complement this with an available Jacuzzi-heated hot tub during certain hours, a 24-hour swimming pool, and private fitness options to create spa experiences that best work for them in relaxation and healing.

Rich history is part of the identity of Royal Palms Resort and Spa. The original estate, constructed between 1926 and 1929, was an opulent private residence surrounded by lavish gardens and more than 900 palm trees. Through the years, it morphed into a resort catering to an interesting mix of celebrities, dignitaries, and just about anybody wanting to retreat into tranquility. Today, the Royal Palms Resort and Spa represents a nod to the past, embracing the conveniences of today and offering an unparalleled experience combining timeless elegance with modern comfort.

Since becoming a resort in 1948, Royal Palms has evolved from an intimate inn into a world-renowned luxury destination. Throughout its history—each chapter, from the citrus orchard to this modern incarnation with Hyatt's Unbound Collection—the resort has adhered steadfastly to its commitment to superior service in a stunning setting. Today, Royal Palms Resort and Spa stands homologated to times gone by while embracing the luxuries of today, affording guests a unique experience in timeless elegance combined with every comfort applicable to today.
