Hotwire Hotel: 5* Scottsdale - Help Identifying

[RuSu]

I'm looking for a 5* hotel in Scottsdale or nearby such as Carefree that has a spa for 12/20 - 12/23/2010. I am trying to identify the following 2 properties:

#1. North Scottsdale area Hotel - Is listed as a resort & is showing tennis, golf, fitness & swimming. No spa is indicated. The rate is $119 & the hotel is recommended by 95% of Hotwire members. (8.1 - 17.2 mi from city center)

#2. Scottsdale area Hotel - Has a spa, golf course, fitness & swimming. Is not showing as a resort. The rate is $165 & the hotel is recommended by 95% of Hotwire members. (7.1 - 12.6 mi from city center)

Any idea what these 2 properties might be?

Just joined Better Bidding & have never used Hotwire before & would like some idea of what I might be bidding on. Thank you!

I did that & all I got is what I wrote. I know there are so many seemingly identical places in this area which is why I'd like to get an idea. Seems you're unable to help?...

I can tell you that the 5* resort at $119 is most likely the Fairmont Princess. Another good choice, if it shows on Hotwire, is a 4.5* hotel - the Hyatt at Gainey Ranch. I hope that helps you with the decision process.

Thanks - was thinking that also, but what about the other property:

#2. Scottsdale area Hotel - Has a spa, golf course, fitness & swimming. Is not showing as a resort. The rate was $165, now $146 & the hotel is recommended by 95% of HOTWIRE members. (7.1 - 12.6 mi from city center)

When i run your dates on HOTWIRE and go thru the process outlines above, including clicking the 'see all' link, i also see a SPA icon in addition to the amenities you've posted above... you don't get a SPA icon after clicking CONTINUE and then the 'see all' link?

The Scottsdale property matches the Royal Palms so that would be my best guess for this one.
