GETTING
AWAY
CopperWynd
by Jim Prueter
CopperWynd Resort and Club, located a short 19
miles from Old Town Scottsdale in Fountain Hills,
is a magnificent retreat for those looking for
a small romantic getaway.
Built into the mountainside, the luxurious boutique
resort features 32 guestrooms and eight two- and
three-bedroom casitas, all with private balconies
and fireplaces to enjoy breathtaking views of the
Sonoran Desert, mountian vistas and twinkling city
lights in the distance.
The resort has been recognized on numerous “best
of” lists, including Conde Nast’s Best Places to
Stay in 2007, Zagat’s Top Places in the World to
Stay and six consecutive years as a AAA Four Diamond
Property.
For activity, CopperWynd has a spectacular tennis
facility with nine lighted courts, as well as two
swimming pools, hiking trails, a spa and the award-winning
Alchemy restaurant. While the property doesn’t
boast its own golf course, tee times are cheerfully
arranged through several renowned nearby courses.
One of my all-time favorites, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club,
is literally minutes away.
Room décor can be best described as rustic European
with handmade Italian furnishings, oversized marble
bathrooms and upscale custom towels, linens, draperies
and bedding. Other expected amenities include bathrobes,
safe, newspaper delivery, Internet access, and
refrigerator.
A favorite “hush-hush” celebrity getaway, service
is impeccable with always the “just right” amount
of attention given without being over-bearing.
If you’re looking to impress your sweetheart or
just need a pampering getaway, CopperWynd is a
perfect choice.
