Doubletree Paradise Valley
Hotel Information: Designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright's students, this two-story hotel on 22 acres appeals to golfers, families, couples, and businesspeople. Textural design elements protrude from the hotel's raw concrete exterior, creating ever-changing shadow patterns on the walls. A thoughtfully labeled garden of regional cactuses occupies an intimate courtyard, which has mountain views.
Amenity Highlights: The Doubletree’s fully equipped health club includes massage services, as well as tennis and racquetball courts. Putting greens, bicycle rentals and two swimming pools are available. Complimentary, freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies are served upon arrival and room service items are delivered on golf carts. The Loggia Bar off the lobby provides live entertainment Thursday–Sunday nights and during Sunday brunch.
Insider Tip: This Scottsdale hotel is located on Scottsdale's greenbelt, which offers 15 miles of meandering bike and jogging trails. Guests can rent bicycles at the hotel.
The 378 guestrooms at the Doubletree Paradise Valley face the resort's pool or desert-style courtyards with bubbling pools and gardens. All rooms have private patios or balconies and are decorated in an understated, contemporary style, with light-wood furniture, marble trim, and wooden-slat ceilings with cross beams.
