Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak  

Set on a mountainside at the base of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve in Camelback East. The resort is a short drive to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, about 15 minutes from the Phoenix Convention Center and Celebrity Theater, and roughly 6.6 miles from Camelback Mountain — a family-friendly Phoenix resort with a four-acre water park.

This Spanish-style property offers 432 spacious two-room suites with separate living areas, pillowtop Hilton Serenity beds, down comforters and sofa sleepers. Rooms feature LCD TVs, air conditioning, balconies or patios with mountain views, coffee/tea makers, hair dryers and work desks for simple, comfortable stays.

Home to River Ranch water park with a lazy river, waterslide, acres of pools (six outdoor pools plus children's pools), prairie-dog putting course and miniature golf. Tocasierra Spa & Fitness Center, tennis court, poolside bar and lush 27-acre grounds invite sun-soaked Arizona days — a daily resort charge applies, covering wired and wireless internet and other resort amenities.

More than 48,000 sq ft of flexible function space, including three ballrooms and dozens of meeting rooms, plus a full business center. High-speed internet, in-house A/V specialists and free self-parking keep meetings easy and efficient.

Enjoy western-style barbecue at Hole-in-the-Wall or grab poolside eats at Slim Picken's by the River Ranch. A coffee shop/café offers snacks, and outdoor patios overlook the mountains — full breakfasts are available for a fee.
