Recently, we were lucky enough to be able to spend a few hours stuffing ourselves silly at the Sanctuary on Camelback Resort. Don’t hate us, but we were invited to an intimate media dinner inside the resort’s posh new 12-person dining room named, wait for it, XII. Hosted by elements’ chef and budding Food Network star, Beau MacMillan, it was a belt-busting, four-hour food and wine extravaganza.

Even cooler, the room features sliding window walls overlooking the kitchen, so you can watch Beau and his crew slice, dice and sizzle as they whip up his signature farm-fresh American cuisine with Asian accents.

However, if you’re not in the market for a sumptuous 12-person private dining experience, you can still live in the lap of luxury at the the resort’s super-stylish jade bar and adjacent cocktail deck, edge (pictured). Aside from serving up the Valley’s finest sunsets nightly, both spaces now feature a new happy hour called The Pour. Offering premium spirits, cocktails and chef-crafted small plates for only $6, it’s available seven days a week from 4 to 6 pm, with a “reverse happy hour” available from 10 pm to midnight. And be sure to save room for the luscious desserts prepared by elements’ pastry chef inside the new dedicated pastry kitchen.
