LUSSO has an itinerary that introduces visitors to some of the best of ‘Old West’ Arizona.
Scottsdale and the Red Rocks of Sedona, a six-night, five-day trip, begins and ends in Scottsdale, which is an easy transfer from the international gateway airport in Phoenix.
On arrival, guests make their way to Scottsdale and check in for five nights at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa, a luxury hotel built in colonial style and set against the backdrop of Camelback Mountain.
In Scottsdale, attractions include the Old Town, which resembles a scene from a classic old Western and is packed full of bars, restaurants and reminders of the Old West; Museum of the West, which celebrates the spirit of the American West through changing exhibitions of fine art, rare historic artefacts and cultural treasures like Texas Ranger badges and Native American pottery; the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art; the world-renowned Heard Museum; and Taliesin West, once the winter home of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Clients then enjoy a full-day touring Sedona and its red rock landscapes.
Montezuma Castle National Monument is one of the best preserved Native American cliff dwellings in North America, dating back 1,000 years.
For a backcountry experience, an off-road jeep tour or a two-hour guided hike is available.
In Sedona, explore the city’s many art galleries and shops or perhaps get a psychic reading or head to Tlaquepaque, an arts and crafts village styled after a Mexican settlement.
Back in Scottsdale, choices include some high-end shopping at malls like Scottsdale Fashion Square, where private shopping experiences can be arranged.
Keen golfers have the option of booking a tee time at one of Scottsdale’s many 18-hole championship golf courses, all spectacularly set among the Sonoran Desert landscape.
The deal is priced from £1,775pp, based on two people sharing a standard room and includes economy flights from London.
