A shopper's paradise can be found at the Scottsdale Fashion Square, which is anchored by upscale department stores like Barneys New York, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus and home to designer boutiques like Hermes, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Betsey Johnson and Coach. The mall has also been credited with revitalizing Scottsdale's once desolate downtown area.
The city is also an architectural marvel thanks to Taliesin West, the once winter home of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Visitors can take guided tours of the place where Wright designed some of his most famous buildings including the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
If you are planning to stay in the area, The Phoenician, a five-star, ultra-luxury hotel, is a perfect choice. Resting beside Camelback Mountain, the natural views from the hotels are breathtaking.
