Scottsdale Resort Adding 155 Rooms/Villas

It’s one of the host resorts for one of the largest sporting events in America. WM Phoenix Open Tournament officials don’t report on the size of the crowds but some estimate close to one million people show up to watch golf. Even when the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is not hosting the event, it still does pretty well. The resort is looking to add more rooms to its 65-acre property.

The Phoenix Business Journal reports the Princess is looking to build a 155-unit guest wing with underground parking; 43 Sunset Villas/bungalows; a high-end Italian restaurant; an indoor/outdoor coffee roasterie; a conference center and a new ballroom on-site.

The new guest wing would rise four stories on the southeast corner of Cottage Terrace Lane and Hacienda Way.

The resort currently has 751 hotel guest rooms. The Princess currently ranks third as the largest Phoenix-area hotel and resort, only trailing the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown and the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.
