Praise
Royal Palms Resort and Spa is a boutique hideaway with quiet pathways, lush gardens, acclaimed cuisine, elegantly appointed guest rooms, villas and casitas, and a storied tradition for providing an exceptional welcome to all guests of this romantic and cozy retreat colored in a golden patina at the base of Camelback Mountain in Phoenix.
Forbes, January 2025In the end, that’s the appeal of Royal Palms — a business hotel and a luxury resort, close to downtown but quiet and calm, lavish yet affordable, authentically Southwestern yet distinctly Mediterranean-feeling. In short, for all its character, it’s still the sort of place nearly anyone can get behind.
