The Boulders Resort
Hotel Information: A wooden ceiling, fireplaces, skylights, and Native American art give the lobby a relaxed, desert lodge feel. Two championship courses attract golfers to this 1,300-acre oasis. Couples enjoy a full range of spa treatments and the individual casitas with private patios, while parents appreciate the opportunity to introduce children to unspoiled desert and the adjacent Heard Museum.
Amenity highlights: Eight tennis courts with two different surfaces join two Jay Moorish-designed golf courses offering 36 holes of championship golf. The 33,000-square-foot Golden Door Spa offers a long list of treatments and exercise options. Outdoor activities such as rock climbing, moonlit mountain bike tours, and guided scenic hikes take advantage of the rugged desert location.
Insider tip: The adjacent El Pedregal Festival Marketplace has 41 shops displaying Southwestern art, jewelry, and home accessories. It's also host to a branch of Heard Museum of Phoenix, with samples from its world-renowned collection of Native American arts and crafts.
The guestrooms and suites at The Boulders Resort feature hand-crafted beamed ceilings, painted and carved wooden furniture, walk-in closets and weathered and overstuffed leather chairs. Beds are dressed with Egyptian cotton linens. Amenities include wireless or wired high-speed Internet access, CD players and DVD players on request, and MP3 adaptors.
