Hyatt’s Andaz brand has opened its first Scottsdale location: the Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa, the company’s 14th such property worldwide.
Formerly a Cottonwood Suites, Hyatt sunk some $75 million into the 201-room resort, which is located on 23 acres in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Mid-century modern dominates the hotel’s design elements, with a striking guesthouse at the resort’s center serving as a social gathering area for both guests and locals. The design, from Delawie Architects, includes floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
Guestroom interiors from EDG Interior Architecture + Design utilize bright colors, folk art and cultural patterns in homage to artists and designers of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Bungalow-style guestrooms and suites range from 350 to 1,800 square feet and are set in clusters of four to six units, and individual guestrooms have front terraces with Spanish-style banco seating and contemporary dining tables. Bathrooms have large showers with windows and skylights and many rooms also include private outdoor patios with chaise lounges and lounge chairs. The hotel’s main pool has a sundeck in addition to 13 private cabanas, of which six are connected to guestrooms and a suite overlooking the pool.
Coming off a two-year stint as executive sous chef at the Park Hyatt New York, Adam Sheff presides as executive chef over the resort’s signature restaurant, Weft & Warp Art Bar + Kitchen.
