Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North
Nestled in the foothills of Pinnacle Peak in far north Scottsdale, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North is a sophisticated, laid-back property for those seeking relaxation, pampering and a base to hike, golf and explore the Sonoran Desert.
With 210 well-camouflaged casitas and suites scattered over 40 acres, you’ll enjoy a feeling of seclusion and sanctuary among the arid region’s rock formations. And when you need a respite from the desert heat, simply head to the recently remodeled pool area at heart of the property.
Though, there's much to do in the resort. A veritable mecca for golfers, the luxury hotel grants priority tee times at Troon North’s two courses, considered among the best in the world. Decompress in the Four-Star spa and feast on local cuisine in the Four-Star Talavera.
Surrounded by cacti, desert flora and the nearby mountains, you’ll feel far removed from the city, but the chic retreat still puts you within an easy drive to shops, restaurants and entertainment in the Valley of the Sun.

- A renovation of the 210 casitas and suites was unveiled in late 2018, bringing a more contemporary, light and airy desert-inspired feel to the rooms.

- The Scottsdale resort’s Spanish steakhouse Talavera is helmed by Sanz, who at age 28 became one of the youngest chefs to lead a kitchen at any Four Seasons property.
- American comfort food is on the menu at the casual Proof cantina. Chicken and waffles with a citrusy twist make for a hearty brunch selection, while the pretzel knots with spicy cheese sauce are an enticing appetizer come lunch or dinner.
- Poolside Saguaro Blossom was recently remodeled as part of the resort’s $13 million renovation. Its Baja shrimp cocktail — avocado, tomato, cucumber and cilantro upgrade this classic — makes for a refreshing alfresco lunch.
- Happy hour is served with amazing sunsets over Pinnacle Peak on the patio of the Onyx Bar and Lounge. The view, a pitcher of rosé sangria and upscale nibbles like Kona kampachi crudo are just the way to toast an amazing day in the Sonoran desert.
