Get beyond the occasional pretentious d-bags and you will see one of the more beautiful resorts in the valley. Tucked on the north side of Camelback Mtn (or hill, in my eyes) the Sanctuary has one of the more beautiful views in all of PHX. The spa has a clean contemporary feel and is a great way to set the tone for your visit here. Head out to the infinity pool which has amazing views of Camelback and the Phoenix Hills. I haven't eaten at Elements (Chef MacMillan), but I have heard nothing but rave reviews for the food and obviously views. Now, the Jade Bar, this is one of my fav watering holes when I have out of towners in. Perfect way to show your guests all of what PHX has to offer, beautiful scenic views and endless flowing cocktails! The prices seem reasonable for a high end resort and if you can serve my Moscow Mule in a copper mug I will pay a little extra. If you visiting Phoenix, take a little time out and make your way to the Sanctuary, just make sure you bring your camera!
