The greatest upscale retail concentration is in downtown Scottsdale, which not only hosts the 1.8 million-square-foot Scottsdale Fashion Square, with names like Nordstrom and Barneys New York, but also boasts several antiques and art gallery districts, including Fifth Avenue, Marshall Way and Main Street. In Phoenix, Biltmore Fashion Park counts Ralph Lauren and Saks Fifth Avenue among its tenants, while converted downtown neighborhoods like Roosevelt Row have edgier shops and galleries.

urban vibe. Those with a penchant for things past head to Glendale, with more than 90 antiques emporia. Casa Grande offers convenient retail stops halfway between Phoenix and Tucson—shop The Promenade at Casa Grande and Outlets at Casa Grande, both flanking Interstate 10.

Catering to the entire family with top-rate restaurants, spas, golf courses, pools and educational programs, Greater Phoenix’s resorts run the gamut of price, setting and style. Some, such as the Arizona Biltmore, Wigwam Golf Resort, Hermosa Inn and Royal Palms Resort & Spa, blend historic character with state-of-the-art facilities. Others, like the American Indian-owned Radisson Fort McDowell Resort, Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino Resort or Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, open a window to a different culture while providing a luxury experience.
Shop high-end retailers at the open-air biltmore Fashion Park in Phoenix.
