The e-readers can store up to a 1,000 books but Fairmont Gold guests will be getting access to new and bestselling titles from Random House as well as a small credit for future buys. <blockquote> The eReaders are loaded with a variety of fiction and non-fiction eBooks by authors including Bret Easton Ellis, Sophie Kinsella and Alexander McCall

Scottsdale: Sweet Suite: The Fairmont Scottsdale's Casa Dorada

juliana — 2008-06-11T13:06:53-05:00

Much like Fairmont Dallas went "Gold", the Fairmont Scottsdale is following suit but in an even bigger and better way.

The hotel has opened its own Fairmont Gold lodgings--ultra-swank accommodations that act as a separate luxury hotel within a hotel. The Gold rooms consist of 69 newly-renovated guest rooms, three parlor suites and a 2,100-square-foot private lounge on secluded grounds.

But the piece de resistance of this special set is the Casa Dorada--a 3,700-square foot super-suite located on a private enclave of the resort grounds.

More on this super-suite (with photos!) after the jump.
