Scottsdale Resort Club
This three–and–a–half star resort hotel, less than a half hour from PHX, is a great destination for couples and business travelers, especially the tennis buffs among them.
The Scottsdale Resort's Athletic Club, one of the top 50 tennis resorts according to Tennis Magazine, employs full–time pros who lead private and group lessons for players of all skills on the facility's 11 lighted hardcourts. The pro shop provides 24–hour service for racquet stringing, fitness apparel, and tennis accessories. The Scottsdale Club even offers special tennis retreats, ideal for USTA teams, club leagues, and other groups. The standard two–day, two–night retreat includes three and a half hours of group instruction, and one–half hour of private instruction each day. Retreat participants can choose to say in either one– or two–bedroom villas, with complimentary breakfast and lunch.
The family–owned Scottsdale Resort's accommodations range from guest rooms and suites to one–, two–, and three–bedroom villas, deluxe villas, and presidential suites, topping out with the Grande Dame three–bedroom presidential villas. All guest rooms and suites include remarkably comfortable king–size beds, a wet bar, refrigerator, microwave oven, and a 27–inch television with more than 80 cable channels and DVD player. The resort also beams wi–fi internet access throughout.
Guests who stay in one of the resort's villas will find a fireplace, a living and dining area, a private patio or balcony, and private laundry facilities. Villa kitchens include a dishwasher, convection oven, and top–of–the–line cookware and flatware. The spacious bathrooms feature Jacuzzi tubs and walk–in showers.
Located in the heart of Scottsdale, Resort Club guests are close to great shopping, dining, and cultural opportunities such as the Heard Museum. Ask the club's friendly and informative staff for specifics. Physically active guests who will not be spending time on the tennis courts may exhaust themselves on the numerous desert hikes that begin in the outskirts of Scottsdale and Phoenix. Tennis players and nonplayers alike will love the resort's spa, which features classes in yoga, spinning, and pilates.
It's the Scottsdale Resort Club for the active traveler who appreciates luxury amenities at an affordable price.
