Montelucia Resort & Spa, Scottsdale

This Spanish-villa-style property with great views of Camelback Mountain is one of Scottsdale's most luxurious desert retreats. The grounds feature pretty, floral-lined walkways and arched entrances, and the sophisticated rooms have lots of Spanish-inspired details, including dark woods and big mirrors.

L'Auberge de Sedona

L'Auberge de Sedona has one of the most stunning natural settings not just in the Southwest, but in the entire country, with the picturesque Oak Creek running underneath shady trees, and Sedona's soaring red rocks suspended in the background. The guest rooms and woodsy cottages are spread across 11 acres, allowing guests plenty of privacy, and most come with fireplaces and private decks. It's a premier destination for a romantic getaway or a corporate retreat.

The Mirage Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas

An elder statesman among the Strip's mega-resorts, the 3,000-plus-room Mirage relies less on theatrics (and a booze-fueled party scene) for its appeal and puts more of an emphasis on comfortable, well-designed rooms, as well as an enormous pool, diverse dining options and attentive service. Numerous on-site attractions are aimed at a multigenerational clientele.

Westin Phoenix Downtown

This Westin high-rise is luxurious and business-friendly, plus it offers great views of Phoenix through floor-to-ceiling windows. The large rooms are sleek and modern and appear bigger than they actually are thanks to 10-foot-high ceilings.

The Phoenician, Scottsdale

This 250-acre Starwood resort and conference center is a luxury property ideally situated on the edge of Camelback Mountain in Phoenix’s Sonoran Desert. The massive property makes a striking first impression, with its lush green landscaping, waterfalls, koi ponds and palms set against a rugged backdrop. Meanwhile, communal interiors have an old-world-luxury appeal, with marble floors and chandeliers. For activities, there is a USGA 27-hole golf course and pro shop, 11 tennis courts with various surfaces and a winding cactus garden for beautiful sunrise walks.
