World class shopping is right out your back door from Paradise Valley. World Renowned Old Town Scottsdale is just minutes away as is the Scottsdale Fashion Mall, right in the heart of town. Art galleries literally line the streets of Old Town Scottsdale along with fine jewelry and clothing shops. Scattered between the art galleries and other shops are some of the best restaurants in the world when you find it is time to rest, refresh, and rejuvenate. Scottsdale Fashion Mall (Scottsdale Rd & Camelback Rd) hosts Nordstrom’s and Nieman Marcus, countless boutiques and shops as well as fine dining. Just west on Camelback Road from the Scottsdale Fashion Mall (Camelback Rd & 24th St) is the Biltmore Fashion Park, host to Saks Fifth Avenue, the finest in clothing and apparel found in dozens of lovely upscale shops, Williams-Sonoma kitchen and house wares, fine jewelry and watch shops, furniture and art and again, fine dining in abundance.
