The resort carries a AAA Five Diamond rating and is recognized as Arizona’s Best Dining Resort, with five on-site restaurants and bars covering everything from a Michael Mina steakhouse to modern Latin-Asian cuisine. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport sits about 24 miles away, making regional fly-in groups straightforward to manage. The property includes 66 Fairmont Gold rooms and 120 Privado Studios and Villas for attendees who want upgraded accommodations within the same block.

For event planners, the numbers here are significant.

The Palomino Conference Center ballroom alone sections into 10 areas or four quarters with double air walls and a 13-foot corridor for sound separation.
