Know Before You Go
- Arrive ready for sunshine. With more than 300 days of sun each year, pack your swimsuit, sunscreen, and a plan to make the most of six distinct resort pools — from white-sand beaches to waterslides and rooftop escapes
- Timing is everything. March through May and October through November offer the best balance of warm weather and manageable crowds. Winter holidays and spring break periods can bring high occupancy — book early for cabanas and spa treatments.
- Bring your four-legged friend. Dogs up to 50 pounds are welcome with a nightly pet fee. You’ll find plenty of outdoor space to explore, but bring your own bowls and bedding for added comfort.
- Don’t skip the seasonal magic. From holiday light displays to winter “ice” skating, the resort frequently offers special events and programming. Check the calendar — or ask concierge — to elevate your stay.
- Check calendars. The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess regularly hosts large-scale events, like culinary festivals, PGA-adjacent gatherings, or seasonal showcases like Christmas at the Princess. While these add excitement, they also draw crowds — check the resort calendar in advance to align with (or avoid) major happenings.
- Pack smart. Desert temperatures can swing 30 degrees or more between day and night. Don’t let the sunny daytime pool scene fool you — pack layers for cooler evenings, especially between November and March.
