On 40 acres of the Sonoran Desert, the Four Seasons is done up in the colors of the desert, with 210 non-smoking rooms and suites spread through 25 one- and two-story adobe casitas with terraces offering unobstructed views of Crescent Butte Mountain, the Valley of The Sun or other natural wonders. Look for hand-hewn stone floors, gas fireplaces and art made by the Huichol Indians. They didn't skimp on modern amenities like 42-inch LCD TVs, iPod docking stations and wired and wireless internet access. With deep soaking tubs and separate glassed-in showers, the bathrooms feel like mini-spas. The lagoon-style pool is heated so you can enjoy it throughout the year. It's surrounded by cabanas for shade and mist machines to keep you cool. Two tennis courts lighted for night play, and complimentary shuttles whisk you to the nearby golf courses. A wide range of cardio and strength-training equipment distinguishes the fitness room, which has certified personal trainers and offers exercise classes. With 14 private rooms, the on-site spa has a wide range of treatments, including some that use Sedona clay and other local ingredients. Focusing on regional cuisine, the steakhouse lets you enjoy Cedar River beef in the open and airy dining room or outside on the terrace. There's also casual fare at the poolside eatery, small plates in the bar or around-the-clock in-room dining. Parking is free.
