Eat. Pray. Eat.

Led by notable Executive Chef Charles Wiley, Hearth ’61 honors the year the town was incorporated and the hearth oven that imparts smoky flavor to many signature dishes. The restaurant features an exhibition kitchen and floor-to-ceiling glass looking out to the scenic patio where guests can enjoy seasonal ingredient-driven American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Dishes incorporate local and organic ingredients and flavors from local ranches. A bar and sunken living room lounge offer additional spaces to gather and imbibe throughout the day. Additionally, Rusty’s at the Short Course and the Pool Bar at The Citizens Club can keep you nourished with healthy bites and organic juices.

○      Hearth ‘61 - Enjoy local and organic inspired dishes and flatbreads all day and for weekend brunch, we especially love the quinoa and lentil stew for dinner with shitake mushrooms and asparagus.

○      Rusty’s at the Short Course - This hangout serves up breakfast and coffee for the early starters, along with lunch and happy hour for the afternoon crowd. Dine in the stylish lounge or outside on the shaded patio overlooking Camelback Mountain and the stunning greens of The Short Course.

○      In-room dining is available around the clock to satisfy those cravings.

The Art of De-stressing

The Citizens Club, named after the volunteer committee whose mission it was to create an incredible quality of life in Paradise Valley, is your catchall for wellbeing. Here, you’ll decompress with two sparkling pools for laps or lazing, and a sprawling fitness center offering pilates, aerial yoga, cycling and barre classes.

For those hoping for a traditional spa experience, the courtesy Tesla Model X can whip you over to neighboring sister property, Serenity Camelback Spa. However, should you still wish to rejuvenate on property, say, in your room or balcony, Thai, Shiatsu, Swedish or reflexology massages can be arranged.

You don’t have to just gaze at the Sonoran Desert beauty from your balcony, you can immerse yourself in it with a guided hike to Camelback Mountain, or play a quick 18 holes at the Short Course, a picturesque par-3 golf course with beauty and challenges in spades.
