Newly opened Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas invites family travelers for a summer adventure in the desert. Located in Scottsdale, Kimpton Miralina is a family-friendly homebase for one of Arizona’s most exciting destinations.
Formerly Scottsdale Plaza Resort, it sits on 40 acres of Paradise Valley and recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation with families in mind.
Soak up the sun at any of the resort’s six pools. Families can spend quality time together by reserving a private cabana; relaxing by the pool; and chowing down on small bites from Cima, the resort’s poolside bar and lounge.
Two-time James Beard Award finalist Chef Wes Avila runs the on-site restaurant, Hecho Libre. Chef Avila brings bold Sonoran flavors, sharable dishes and bites sure to please everyone’s tastebuds to the menu.
Travelers can immerse themselves in the magic of Sonoran Desert in a playful way through interactive installations such as Valley Echoes and Valley Mists, both in the hotel.
The resort’s holistic spa offers the perfect place for parents to relax and unwind without kids. Parents can expect outdoor massage pavilions, a sauna, and hot and cold plunge pools inspired by nature.
Kimpton Marina is located just minutes from Old Town and offers easy access to local dining, galleries, hot spots and shopping. For families who might prefer outdoor adventure, take advantage of the resort’s proximity to surrounding hiking trails, golf courses and stunning Camelback Mountain.
