Staying in Scottsdale
Scottsdale is a desert city known for its luxury resorts, golf courses and a lively art scene centred on Old Town, where Western-style storefronts sit alongside galleries, shops and restaurants. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve on the edge of the city offers hiking trails and open desert scenery, and the Salt River Indian Community to the east is home to Talking Stick Resort and the Salt River Fields spring training complex. The climate is desert: summers are hot, winters mild, and spring and fall are generally the most comfortable.
The hotels on this list are spread across the city. Several sit close to Old Town, including Hotel Valley Ho on East Main Street, The Scott Resort & Spa and the Canopy by Hilton on East 1st Street. Others line East Camelback Road, such as Scottsdale Camelback Resort, W Scottsdale and Senna House, while The Westin Kierland and Grand Hyatt sit further north near Doubletree Ranch Road. Distances to the centre range from 0.8 km to 13.0 km, so a car helps; the mix suits couples, families with children and business travellers alike.
