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 Boulders Resort has 160 guest casitas with private patios. The casitas are warm and inviting, with softly curved interior walls evoking adobe architecture, hand-crafted wood ceilings, leather furniture, and wet bars. Regional art and glazed tile enhance guestrooms' tastefully updated Southwestern style. All rooms include wireless Internet access (surcharge). |
