The Canyon Suites at The Phoenician

The Canyon Suites at The Phoenician raised the bar on meetings when it opened the Red Rock Boardroom in Scottsdale, Arizona, last spring. The technological wonder crowns a $5.5-million upgrade to The Canyon Suites, The Phoenician's ultra-chic hotel within a hotel.

The boardroom, which adjoins two more rooms for meetings, dining, and receptions for up to 80, plus a nearly-4,000-square-foot patio for outdoor events, features a conference table with eight pop-up monitors, three remote-control cameras for videoconferencing, two 5.5-foot wall monitors (one with Smart overlay), and a 6-foot projection screen. The table's butter-soft leather armchairs seat up to 24 delegates. Behind the scenes, an IT butler integrates and operates all systems so the group can focus solely on the business at hand.

A personal ambassador facilitates every step of the guest's stay, from preplanning to departure. The amenities range from refreshments and wine tasting in the lobby to wake-up calls with tea or coffee service, nightly turndown with a butler-drawn bath on request, and a chauffeured Mercedes-Benz at the curb for trips to The Phoenician's spa, golf course, restaurants, bars, or shopping in town.

Beyond the pool—lined with out-of-this-world cabanas—and suites lavished in Rivolta Carmignani bed linens, flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, and in-room fax and printer/scanners, delegates have access to everything at The Phoenician, including another 64,000 square feet of flexible, state-of-the-art meeting space. There are no reviews posted at this time.
