The historic heart of Paradise Valley

Mountain Shadows Resort opened its doors in Paradise Valley, Arizona on January 16, 1959. Perfectly nestled below Camelback Mountain and Mummy Mountain, the resort earned its namesake from the shadows cast by the iconic silhouettes each afternoon.

A Desert Icon

The upscale locale instantly became a luxurious desert destination, catering to the likes of international travelers, visiting families and Hollywood stars. Valley residents could own a slice of paradise by purchasing private homes.

Dinner & Dancing

Mountain Shadows’ Chef Victor Basil delighted locals and visitors alike, while Dick Halleman’s Orchestra serenaded diners and dancers.

A Poolside Paradise

The scenic pool area served as the perfect spot for moonlit galas, sunny afternoons and TV shoots.

Changing Times

In 1981, the resort was purchased by Marriott and utilized when the Camelback Inn across the street was full.

A New Chapter

In 2004, the resort closed. In 2014, it was demolished and split into three parcels, one of which was sold to local Westroc Hospitality and Woodbine Development Corporation, which partnered to rebuild the resort from the ground up. The new Mountain Shadows debuted in 2017.

A NEW BEGINNING

Today, the fully rebuilt Mountain Shadows stands at the heart of Paradise Valley once more. Traces of the past can be found throughout the resort, from the name of the restaurant to the iconic breeze block by the pool. Whether they follow in the footsteps of past globetrotters or happen to live down the street, every guest experiences the same warm hospitality, modern elegance and beautiful scenery that made the resort a beloved destination for decades.
