Elements is the signature restaurant at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa.

Perched high up on Scottsdale, Arizona’s Camelback Mountain, the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa offers views of its unique terrain and desert landscape from nearly every corner of the property. Both Elements, the resort’s signature restaurant, and Jade Bar are designed to make the most of this location with wraparound glass walls allowing panoramic views of the mountain and Paradise Valley. In the case of Jade Bar, guests can expect to sip on their cocktails on a cantilevered floor that juts out from the mountain side, seemingly floating over the desert views below. Elements features farm-fresh American cuisine with Asian accents presented by Food Network star and chef Beau MacMillan.

Rates start at $599 per night. For more information, visit sanctuaryoncamelback.com.

The appropriately named Harbor View Hotel has been a fixture on Martha’s Vineyard since 1891, boasting a prime location in Edgartown that overlooks the harbor. With the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel’s signature restaurant, which will soon receive a new name following renovations, guests can enjoy the perfectly framed views of the Edgartown Lighthouse and Chappaquiddick Island while they munch on New England style cuisine featuring local ingredients from island farms and fishing boats.

Although the property is currently closed as it undergoes renovations, when it reopens on May 1, 2019, nightly rates will start at $339. For more information, visit harborviewhotel.com.

1. Whiteface Lodge

Tucked into the Adirondacks’ High Peaks region in Lake Placid, New York, travelers will find Whiteface Lodge, a property that draws inspiration from the Adirondack Great Camps of the 19th century with its rustic timber design. Surrounded by protected woodlands, several of the five food and beverage venues at Whiteface Lodge offer views of the area’s trees and mountains, as well as Lake Placid. In the KANU Dining Room guests will be welcomed with high vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows that overlooks the property’s wooded grounds offering an ever-changing view as the seasons move from winter white to the greens of spring and summer and eventually to the reds and golds of fall.

Rates start at $318 per night. For more information, visit thewhitefacelodge.com.
