The mountain casitas and suites are secluded and offer panoramic views of Paradise Valley and beyond, with dining tables, day beds and gas fireplaces, while the spa casitas offer guests a chic and modern alternative - multi-level stays featuring dramatic view patios, some of which have outdoor steeping tubs surrounded by foliage and draped, wooden latticework. There are 109 casitas and private villas cloistered on the north side of Camelback Mountain. So what about the stay? They’re all different, really, but equally spacious, and depending upon the time of day, offer an exquisite, almost hand-painted just for you sunrise or sunset. That includes complimentary access to daily Spa facilities classes, including Fit Camp, Yoga, TRX, Pilates, Spin and Water Fitness access to the Spa and Fitness Center, including steam rooms, Jacuzzi, salt water lap pool, and gym complimentary tennis and pickle ball court access complimentary mountain bike rentals and 24 hour text messaging Concierge services, you know… just in case you can think of literally anything else. So what does it offer? Kind of, well, everything. Where most resorts charge you to use every single amenity (or at least the spa if you haven’t booked a massage), here, everything is at your disposal.

It’s mind-boggling that this secluded paradise is just eight miles away from Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport, and a stone’s throw from art galleries, sports arenas, theaters, museums, horseback riding, jeep tours, hot air balloons, Scottsdale shopping and Arizona sightseeing. A third magazine, Michigan Avenue, appears to be in a similar situation.Red rocks, lush desert, blue sky and serenity - that’s the vibe at Scottsdale’s Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, a Gurney’s Resort. Their websites remain active, mostly publishing content sourced from other publications within the portfolio. Late last year, the company effectively shut down two magazines, Capitol File and Los Angeles Confidential, whose print editions were both discontinued. Modern Luxury wouldn’t provide details on the total number of employees affected by the changes, which Cadourcy said was a consideration “of privacy for our employees,” but added, “We are still producing magazines and look forward to continuing to produce world-class content.” “We will have some exciting announcements to share in August,” Cadourcy added. “All of this takes additional investments to pursue our reimagination,” including in new talent and platforms to ensure “we are agnostic to all screens our content lives on.”
“We have had to reimagine our entire company from soup to nuts-from how we produce content, how it’s distributed, and everything in between,” Cadourcy told Folio. In April, the company furloughed an undisclosed number of employees across several departments through the end of June, producing a combined, identical May/June issue across nearly all of its markets.Īt the time, CEO Michael Dickey said he hoped to be able to bring everyone back by July, and that the furloughs were an attempt to avoid permanently reducing headcount amid a shutdown of events and closures of retail outlets-an important distribution channel for many of the company’s magazines. In response to emailed questions last week, Modern Luxury Media’s chief marketing officer, Raquel Cadourcy, acknowledged that the company has had to make “tough choices” as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but confirmed that no magazines are shutting down and no changes will be made to the company’s portfolio, which is currently comprised of 29 regional lifestyle magazines, in addition to a number of weddings- and interior design-focused offshoots. Those who have exited the company since the start of July include the editors-in-chief at both San Francisco and Vegas magazines, as well as Modern Luxury-branded titles serving Houston, Chicago’s North Shore, San Diego, Scottsdale and Silicon Valley, in addition to a managing editor working across both San Francisco and Modern Luxury Silicon Valley and the company’s design director, who managed creative direction across the entire portfolio.Īs a result, some individual editors are now tasked with overseeing upwards of four different magazines in adjacent markets, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation, while others will rely heavily on content shared across multiple publications in the portfolio. High-end regional magazine publisher Modern Luxury Media parted ways with several employees in a restructuring earlier this month, including at least seven editors-in-chief, Folio: has learned.
