The recently enhanced Enchantment Resort in picturesque Sedona, Arizona, has been selected for membership into Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI). The 70-acre meeting resort, which features a breathtaking setting amidst the towering red rock walls of Northern Arizona’s Boynton Canyon, as well as newly added meeting and function spaces, will now receive dedicated National Sales services and support by ALHI as its authorized National Sales extension to the meetings, incentive/recognition travel, and convention marketplaces.

Other exceptional Arizona offerings in ALHI’s impressive portfolio include: The Wigwam, an intimate retreat resort which sits on 440 acres adjacent to metropolitan Phoenix, and which is just completing an extreme makeover under new ownership; the extraordinary InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa Scottsdale, reminiscent of a European town square and offering more than 26,000 square feet of meeting space at the foot of Camelback Mountain; the AAA Four-Diamond, newly-renovated Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix, providing 740 suites and 117,000 square feet of meeting space at the base of the South Mountain Preserve; the Spanish Mediterranean-style Royal Palms Resort and Spa, a sophisticated and secluded retreat nestled at the base of scenic Camelback Mountain in Phoenix; the spectacular AAA Five-Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, a highly acclaimed authentic Southwestern meeting resort in Scottsdale that offers 649 elegant guest rooms, with 72,000 square feet of meeting space, plus an array of outdoor venues for meetings; and the beautiful Loews Ventana Canyon, providing dramatic views of the majestic Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson, along with two renowned golf courses.
“Enchantment Resort is a distinctive, one-of-a-kind resort which everyone should make a point to visit,” said David Gabri, president and CEO of ALHI. “Enchantment is in a truly unique and impressive setting in the heart of America’s ‘Red Rock Country,’ and is definitely worth the drive up from Phoenix. Breathtaking views are all around – whether you’re in a meeting room, a guest room, or enjoying a function in one of the beautiful outdoor venues. The resort is an outstanding choice for meetings and incentive/recognition programs. We are excited about this addition to our portfolio, and look forward to introducing Enchantment to many planners who may not have considered that option for their programs.”
