VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Intimate and tranquil, Royal Palms Resort and Spa is a boutique hideaway with quiet pathways, lush gardens, acclaimed cuisine, elegantly appointed guest rooms, villas and casitas, and a storied tradition for providing an exceptional welcome to all guests of this romantic and cozy retreat colored in a golden patina at the base of Camelback Mountain in
Phoenix.
Stone walkways lead through the resort’s nine acres, taking you through colorful archways and wrought iron gates, past beautiful fountains, courtyards, orange groves and unique private spaces, small sitting areas tucked into the corner of a garden or beside a courtyard fireplace where you can sit quietly and relax.
Once upon a time, guests and nearby residents would gather at the resort’s Orange Tree Dining Room to hear Frank Sinatra Jr., Tony Martin and Patty Andrews along with local talent.
