Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas Paradise Valley, Scottsdale
WINNER

Set across 40 acres in Paradise Valley, Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas introduces a fresh perspective on the Sonoran Desert experience. Nestled between Camelback and Mummy Mountains, the resort blends residential-style comfort with expressive, design-forward spaces shaped by the desert’s shifting light and natural textures. Reimagined from the former Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Miralina unfolds as a series of indoor-outdoor environments, from lush garden pathways to six distinct pools and intimate gathering spaces. At its core, the experience is rooted in connection to landscape, to culture, and to community through sensory Desert Reveries installations, chef-driven dining, and wellness programming that follows the rhythms of the desert. With thoughtfully designed guest rooms, casitas, and upcoming villas, Miralina offers a relaxed yet elevated retreat where nature, creativity, and modern hospitality come together seamlessly.
