Downtown Scottsdale

Scottsdale's roots began to take shape at the famed intersection of Scottsdale & Camelback Roads more than a century ago when Chaplain Winfield Scott made a down payment of 50 cents per acre for a section of land in this area back in 1888. Today, in the shadows of former citrus tree farms and cotton fields, it is a bustling epicenter of activity rich with history and filled with the spirit of both the contemporary and Old West. As the site of the Southwest's largest, upscale shopping center, Scottsdale Fashion Square, the intersection of Scottsdale and Camelback Roads is ripe with new offerings, including the chic W Scottsdale Hotel & Residences, upscale shopping and dining at the Scottsdale Waterfront and SouthBridge, and Arizona's first Barneys New York.
