Royal Palms Resort and Spa

While the French had the Côte d'Azur to escape Paris's gloomy weather, New Yorkers looked to Arizona. Originally built as a summer home for a Manhattan couple, the estate embraces the Spanish Revival style in both its aesthetic and its layout. Life revolves around the central patio, extending to suites located in villas, residences, or wings of the main building, all accented with artworks and antiques belonging to the property's creator. In the gardens, guests can breathe in the scent of citrus, admire the vibrant colours of bougainvillea, and find shade beneath the nearly 1,000 palm trees that give the resort its name, along paved pathways. At T. Cook's, guests can dive into Southern-inspired cuisine with Belen Soto's Barbacoa Tacos, featuring barbacoa, cilantro, onion, salsa roja, and lime, all overlooking Camelback Mountain. A journey within a journey.

What we like

The Design

On the terrace of the Presidential Villa, a fireplace and beams bring Arizonan comfort.

The Flavour

The grilled artichoke to share at T. Cook's brunch, an ode to conviviality.

The Moment

A Dom Pérignon to sabre at the Cabana Café, adjoining the pool.
