Romantic Travel:
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
 If
you were a fan of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's Newlyweds
show, you probably saw their couple's visit to the Fairmont
Scottsdale Princess, a luxury resort known not only for its
golf offerings but also for its top-notch spa. The Arizona desert
makes a beautiful romantic backdrop.
Where: Scottsdale, Arizona. Perched at the desert's edge,
the Scottsdale Princess stands like an oasis of luxury and leisure.
What's Special Here: This AAA Five Diamond property pampers
its guests with luxurious touches and lavish style. Set on 450
acres, the resort features Mexican Colonial style architecture
with colors echoing the subtle shades of the desert.
Who's Here: couples, families, singles
 What's
Great for Active Couples: Guests at this sprawling resort
find no shortage of activity. Whether your idea of fun is golf
or gourmet dining, basketball or biking, you'll find it at this
striking resort set against the rugged McDowell Mountains. The
resort has its own golf concierge to help visitors make reservations
at the region's 125+ golf resorts.
Romantic Dining: Multiple restaurants introduce guests
to a variety of cuisines. Echoing the Spanish style of the resort,
the award-winning Marquesa restaurant features Spanish Catalan
dishes, starting with tapas enjoyed with fine Spanish wines
and followed by entrees such as peppercorn crusted tenderloin
of beef with dried cherries and stuffed Morel mushrooms or grilled
turbot and prawns with a black olive and saffron sauce.
Featured on Newlyweds, Mexican specialties are the order
of the day at La Hacienda, located in a historic Mexican ranch
house. Roasted suckling pig carved tableside, grilled seafood,
chicken, and beef dishes reflect authentic recipes from interior
Mexico. Strolling mariachis delight diners with romantic ballads.
Other dining options include LV Bistro for a taste of Arizona's
Southwest cuisine and the golf clubhouse's The Grill, offering
mesquite grilled steaks, seafood and prime rib.
Get a Room! With 651 guest rooms, you'll have lots of
options depending on how much elbow room the two of you would
like (and your budget!) Opt for one of 72 villa as on Newlyweds
or one of the smaller 119 casitas, all recently renovated. The
resort has plenty of traditional guest rooms as well, all with
living areas, terraces, wetbars, and luxury baths, each decorated
in the muted colors of the Southwest desert.
