The new pool area offers craft cocktails, light poolside fare and plenty of chaise lounges. Facing West, it makes for an amazing place to soak in sunset. It feels like swimming in relative Sonoran seclusion any time of the day. Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale also features The Citizens Club with two 75-foot swimming pools, as well as cabanas, daybeds, a pool bar and daily fitness classes.

 

The boutique resort in Paradise Valley, Arizona, is home to 183 guestrooms, a desert modern design, a luxury wing with 37 condominiums and suites, Hearth ’61 restaurant (with Executive Chef Charles Wiley at the helm), an 18-hole golf course with a grill and lounge, art exhibitions at The Gallery, and indoor and outdoor event space.
