The Bar/Lounge at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

""An awesome place to relax", this "sprawling", "family-friendly" North Scottsdale "vacation getaway" features "beautiful" grounds and "spacious, quiet" accommodations (with iPod docks, wet bars and private patios) -- all tended to by an "impressive" staff; though loyalists admit it's "pricey", they say this luxe resort is "worth the money" thanks to "top-notch" amenities that include pools, kids and teen programs, "excellent" restaurants, two 18-hole championship golf courses and a spa"

"The 651 Southwest-style guest rooms all feature living and work areas, terraces, wet bars, refreshment centers and oversize luxury bathrooms"

"The Fairmont also has the best restaurant selection of the nearby resorts, with a boldface name attached to each spot: Richard Sandoval (the veritable father of modern Mexican cuisine) at La Hacienda, chef Michael Mina at Bourbon Steak, and nightlife guru Rande Gerber at Stone Rose Lounge"

"Guests in these quarters enjoy access to a private lounge with five daily food presentations and a dedicated concierge"
