With 119 luxurious guestrooms, suites, casitas and villas, the hotel is a romantic hideaway with the rustic splendor of a Mediterranean estate. Built in 1929, the hotel originally was the private mansion of Delos Willard Cooke, a New York financier. In 1997, the resort reopened after a dramatic restoration to its origional grandeur. A major addition to the estate in 2008 resulted in the Montavista Enclave, a collection of rooms and suites with breath- taking views of Camelback Mountain. The hotel is the only Arizona ranked in Travel & Leisure's Top 100 Hotels in the World.

Nestled at the base of the Camelback Mountain in the posh Arcadia district, between Old Town Scottsdale and the Biltmore corridor and only 11 km from the Sky Harbor International Airport, this hotel provides a convenient location to enjoy world- class shopping, galleries, golf and many special attractions nearby.
