The Best Spa Hotels To Book In Phoenix Arizona

What better place to renew your mind, body and spirit than the city named after the mythical bird that rose from the ashes? Built on the ruins of an ancient Hohokam city, Phoenix sprawls across a wide desert basin – known as the Valley of the Sun – encircled by craggy peaks. Find stillness in the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert, spiked with lush and prickly plant life seen nowhere else on Earth. These luxurious Phoenix spas combine desert botanicals and ancient healing practices to provide state-of-the-art stress relief. Book your favorite with Culture Trip.
