Situated within a relatively conservative tourism scene, this boutique hotel, right where Scottsdale meets Paradise City and Phoenix, holds space for something a little bit offbeat.

Park of Hyatt’s regionally-focused boutique brand, Andaz Scottsdale is built to reflect the unique character of the Arizona scene.

It thrives, therefore, on artists and the landscapes that influence them.

The result is a creatively designed and open-minded space to relax and enjoy beauty in all its forms.

Andaz is a bit on the larger side for a boutique hotel, but with very little uniformity.

Anything remotely cookie-cutter disappears into large collections of local art, artisan elements throughout the property, and active outreach into the local community.

In collaboration with the Cattle Track Art Compound, this is the place to be for anyone interested in Arizona’s long and storied relationship with the arts.
