5594 W Wildhorse Pass Blvd, Phoenix, Gila River Indian Community, Arizona, United States | (888) 989-6591
Situated on an indigenous reservation just south of Phoenix, the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass is a modern upscale resort that's Native-American owned. Its 474 spacious rooms and one-bedroom suites are elegantly designed in earth tones and local style -- but in-room Wi-Fi and safes cost extra. Suites add luxurious living areas (some with fireplaces), and views are a highlight -- the higher the room, the better. The indigenous-inspired Aji Spa and fitness center, four freeform pools, and two golf courses are key highlights, plus the resort is home to renowned fine-dining restaurant Kai with a menu inspired by local tribes. There are also water sports and scenic riverboat rides (costing extra), along with tennis, a free area shuttle, and extensive events facilities. Couples seeking something even more luxe may want to compare rates at the Boulders Resort & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton.
