What it is

An urbane 23-acre resort in the foothills of Camelback Mountain.

What it isn't

Exclusively spa-minded, or an ideal summer escape (Scottsdale temperatures can break into the 100s).

What we think

This artfully designed, mid-century modern enclave is tucked away on 23 acres of desert gardens and shaded groves in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.

Each of the resort’s 185 bungalows and suites feature private entrances and patios that face sprawling lawns. Outdoor showers, luxuriously oversized bathrooms, designer furniture, and limited-edition works of art by resident artists create the ideal retreat for travelers in search of paths less traveled.

Offering three pools, a full suite of customizable treatments at Palo Verde Spa & Apothecary, and a glass-box exposition kitchen at Weft + Warp, Andaz Scottsdale is a place to find inspiration and chase your sense of wonder.

You're here because

You want some time in the spa, but you also want a holistic, sense-of-place experience in the Arizona desert that might tug at your artistic roots.

The Moment

Thumbing through an adult coloring book and taking in the framed vista of Camelback Mountain and the resort’s turquoise pool in the airy and light-filled House.
