  • About a 6-mile drive to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (approximate local drive time noted in sources).

  • Short drive to Scottsdale Fashion Square and Biltmore Fashion Park.
  • Hotel lists Camelback Mountain, Scottsdale attractions and local parks within a short drive.
  • Closer to Camelback-area hikes and the Scottsdale restaurant/retail scene than Arizona Grand.

Better if you prefer a Camelback/Scottsdale base with easier access to upscale shopping, dining and mountain trails.

Rooms: Suites and guestroom differences
