The Venue
5200 E. Camelback Road · Phoenix, Arizona 85018
Nestled at the foot of Camelback Mountain, the Royal Palms Resort & Spa is one of the American Southwest's most beloved romantic destinations. Originally built in 1929 as the private winter estate of New York financier Delos Willard Cooke, the property was modeled after a Spanish Colonial villa and has never lost its timeless Mediterranean character.
Towering royal palms, fragrant citrus groves, cascading bougainvillea, and intimate garden courtyards create a lush, secluded atmosphere worlds away from the Arizona desert surrounding it. Hand-painted tiles, wrought-iron details, terracotta rooftops, and arched colonnades lend every moment an effortlessly old-world elegance — the perfect backdrop for a celebration of love.
Intimate outdoor ceremony and reception spaces amid lush bougainvillea, palms, and the glow of Camelback Mountain.
One of Phoenix's most acclaimed dining destinations, featuring Mediterranean-inspired cuisine crafted from local Arizona ingredients.
A full-service luxury spa offering Mediterranean wellness treatments — perfect for pre-wedding relaxation and rejuvenation.
119 elegantly appointed guest rooms and private casitas with fireplaces, garden patios, and views of Camelback Mountain.
Originally designed as a private couple's retreat, Royal Palms has welcomed lovers for over a century — nine garden acres crafted for moments that last a lifetime.
