“W

e call this ‘the last line of defense’ before our guests arrive,” Steinman says. “There is no stone left unturned. As our guests are on their way to The Brexley, driving through an unassuming neighborhood, we want them to arrive and have the wow experience. When they walk through the handmade entry door and into the minimalist living area, we hope they feel an immediate sense of relief from the outside world. Our goal was to create a private oasis that allows our guests to rest and restore with luxe amenities at their fingertips, excellent concierge services, and privacy.”

Before The Brexley opened its doors to the public in 2018, Steinman underwent a three-year renovation to create her dream home. Yet her greatest challenge didn’t even involve construction, but the neighbors. “Some of them didn’t want the home remodeled and protested to the City of Phoenix before we even started the project,” she remarks. “Then they didn’t like how long the construction took. Most people don’t understand how long it takes to build a home of this caliber after watching so many home-remodeling TV shows portraying cheap and quick flips. I used top artisans in the community to create The Brexley, which meant I had to wait my turn for each of them as they were working with all the best architects. The greatest reward was the experience of it all, the good and the bad, and having the opportunity to work with the top craftsmen in Arizona. I learned a lot.”

The Brexley is the ultimate luxe retreat, perfect for restoring the spirit or exploring all Scottsdale has to offer. For a relaxing stay, lounge by the pool and turn on the outdoor misting system (which keeps the backyard up to thirty degrees cooler during the summer), or hire Brexley private chef Nick Bahan to curate an exceptional in-home culinary experience. For adventurous guests, hikes like Pinnacle Peak and Inspiration Point are a must, while Old Town Scottsdale, Kierland Commons, and Scottsdale Commons offer premier shopping and restaurants.

When asked if she would consider tackling another renovation project, Steinman says she has thought about creating a sister property to The Brexley. “The Brexley is still my main focus, and I want to build an even stronger foundation here before starting another project. But when I do, I would love to renovate a home down the street from The Brexley focused on privacy, wellness, slow living, and minimalism.”

The bar is set high for service, impeccable design, and top amenities in luxury travel and accommodation. The Brexley has seamlessly executed all these expectations with fine attention to detail while acknowledging the utmost importance of the guest experience.
