  • About a short drive to Scottsdale Fashion Square and Old Town Scottsdale.
  • Close to Camelback Mountain hiking and local attractions; a car is recommended.
  • Phoenix Sky Harbor is the nearest major airport (drive time cited ~25–30 minutes).

Miralina is positioned for easy access to Scottsdale shopping, trails and resort activities — good if you want a Scottsdale base with lots of on‑site amenities.

  • Historic Mediterranean property with Camelback Mountain nearby (short drive).
  • Close to Scottsdale Fashion Square and Phoenix attractions; near mid‑city amenities.
  • Nearest airport: Phoenix Sky Harbor Intl. Airport (about 8 mi / 12.9 km listed).

Royal Palms is attractive if you want a Camelback‑area address and views without being in downtown Scottsdale.

Rooms: layouts, size and accessibility

Kimpton Miralina Resort and Villas – Rooms

Miralina offers a broad range of accommodations from entry rooms to multi‑bedroom villas and private residences.

  • 404 total rooms: 224 guestrooms and 180 suites & villas, including 10 private Residences.
  • Room types include single rooms, multi‑bed villas and themed residences; 13 accessible rooms available.
  • Rollaway beds, cribs and connecting rooms available; check‑in 4:00 PM, check‑out 11:00 AM.

  • 119 guestrooms including 1 King Bed Casita, Villa (Arcadia), Villa standard, Presidential Villa and suite variations.
  • Many room options advertise Camelback View and terraces; some ADA/accessible room types listed.
  • Rooms feature minibars, Smart TVs, pillowtop beds and designer toiletries as described in supplier listing.

Royal Palms is a good pick for travelers who want a smaller collection of characterful rooms, several with direct Camelback views and terraces.

Dining & drinks: casual to special‑occasion

Kimpton Miralina Resort and Villas – Dining & drinks

Miralina centers its dining on Baja‑Sonoran cuisine with poolside cocktails and casual coffee options.

  • CIMA Pool Bar offers cocktails and small plates; Cafe Libre is the on‑site coffee shop.
  • In‑room dining is available daily; breakfast is an extra charge.

Royal Palms emphasizes classic, elevated dining with a signature restaurant and room service.

  • Featured restaurant T. Cook's provides local and international cuisine (one of two restaurants listed).
  • Cooked‑to‑order breakfasts are available for a fee; room service operates during limited hours.

  • One outdoor pool and at least one hot tub are listed among amenities.
  • Poolside cabanas available for a surcharge; there is a poolside bar.
