Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, A Gurney’s Resort & Spa has been named the number one hotel in Arizona by the editors of U.S. News & World Report in their Best Hotels list. The 2022 ranking—the twelfth annual by the prestigious national news team—also placed Sanctuary among the top hotels in the United States.

Thousands of hotels were researched for this year’s ranking, and the U.S. News & World Report editorial team employed dozens of data points and an unbiased approach to calculate the 2022 list. In total, more than 35,000 luxury properties across 400-plus destinations in the United States, Europe, Bermuda, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean were evaluated. The editors’ methodology considered a hotel’s star rating, expert and guest sentiment collected through distinguished travel publications, and TripAdvisor user scores.

Sanctuary’s General Manager Michael Surguine remarked, “Travel in Arizona is an enriching experience, and our state offers some of the world’s best hospitality. It is a great honor for Sanctuary to be named the top hotel in the state and listed among the country’s most elite retreats. We strive every day to earn that recognition and offer the best experience to our guests from both near and far.”

Since opening in 2001, Sanctuary has been a beloved fixture of the greater Phoenix area and is regularly lauded in top national contests like Travel + Leisure’s “Top 500 Hotels” and Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
