Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North

What the classifiers highlight

In the foothills of Pinnacle Peak, 210 casitas and suites sit spread across 40 acres of the Sonoran Desert, giving guests a sense of seclusion among the rock formations. Forbes rates both the spa and Talavera restaurant Four Star, and credits the site's elevation with summer temperatures five to ten degrees cooler than nearby Scottsdale.
