The Global Ambassador

The hotel describes itself as a luxury property. It sits between Phoenix, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, and its grounds bring together a spa, fitness center, pool, restaurants, a private club and wedding and event venues.

The spa offers facials, full-body massages and individualized treatments. Named options include the Augustinus Bader TFC8 facial, the Biologique Recherche facial, which follows a French methodology and uses cold-pressed skincare, Structural Longevity Massage, which combines fascia-focused bodywork, vagus nerve stimulation and infrared heat, and Mova High Definition Lymphatic Drainage, a body treatment. The spa states it is the first and only spa in Arizona offering the TFC8 treatment and one of the few entrusted with Biologique Recherche treatments. Reservations are made by email or phone, and parties of five or more must book by phone. A locker room with a cold plunge, jacuzzi, sauna and showers is open to guests with a massage, facial or body treatment of at least 60 minutes, and can be used for up to four hours beyond that treatment.

The fitness center covers more than 19,000 square feet with Technogym, Peloton and Eleiko equipment, and has two outdoor terraces that look toward Camelback Mountain. Body and mind training includes private sessions, guided hikes and mindset coaching. Recovery options include stretch sessions, cryotherapy and theragun treatments. Classes cover cardio and strength, yoga and Forma Method reformer pilates. Forma Pilates is a boutique studio founded in 2020 by Liana Levi in Los Angeles, offering private and semi-private sessions on the second level of the fitness center. According to the hotel, it is available exclusively in Arizona here. Hotel guests can book directly, while locals need a referral from a current studio client. A pool with poolside lunch and dinner service rounds out the wellness offerings, and pool and cabana reservations are limited to hotel guests and members.

Dining spans several venues. Le Âme is a Parisian steakhouse serving breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch and dinner, with classics such as steak frites and French onion soup along with tuna carpaccio. Its wine list is curated by the hotel's master sommelier and, the hotel notes, received a Wine Spectator Best Award of Excellence. Le Market is a French-inspired bakery and bistro for breakfast and lunch. Théa is a rooftop Mediterranean restaurant with mezze, house-made pastas and shareable plates, and has DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. Pink Dolphin is a poolside restaurant with Mexican and Peruvian-inspired dishes, and the Lobby Bar offers handcrafted cocktails and live music on weekends.

The event spaces total about 10,000 square feet across several venues. The Pavilion is the main room and can be divided into four areas. The Lawn is an outdoor space for ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions and al fresco dining. The Garden is an outdoor space with its own fireplace. The Jewel Box is a 900-square-foot indoor rooftop venue with a private bar, a wraparound balcony and views of Camelback Mountain and the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, and it can be paired with the Presidential Suite. A dedicated team works with couples and their planners on weddings. Event catering draws from five signature restaurants, and event requests have a minimum of 12 people. Inquiries can be made online or by calling the hotel.
