My Favorite Things to Do in Phoenix
Enjoy a pampered day at JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, the Phoenician Spa, or Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, A Gurney's Resort & Spa.
Absorb the arts and culture scene at the Heard Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, and Musical Instrument Museum.
Wander around the 140-acre Desert Botanical Garden and walk its Sonoran Desert nature paths.
Have a Latin-inspired sunset dinner at Renata's Hearth at the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, and then enjoy a nightcap at the al fresco Spire Bar.
Meander down the lazy river at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa on a hot summer day or get the party started at the Lylo Swim Club pool at Rise Uptown.
"I've lived in Phoenix for more than 20 years and absolutely love the desert landscape and lifestyle. Being surrounded by beautiful mountains that change colors throughout the day, having easy access to award-winning and celebrity-chef-driven cuisine, and being a short drive to the forest, lakes, and mountains up north makes Phoenix an attractive city for any demographic. The downtown scene—from concerts and sports to museums and nightlife—grows more robust each year, making it no surprise that we're one of the fastest-growing cities."
