Scottsdale Advantage
Scottsdale offers you advantages that few other destinations can match – fresh air, sunny skies and the luxury of space. From campus-style resorts to a lush Sonoran Desert landscape that’s ripe for exploration, Scottsdale is the ideal choice if you’re looking for a getaway that allows you room to roam.
What’s Open?
On March 25, 2021, Arizona’s governor allowed all businesses to resume normal operations, including hotels, restaurants, bars and attractions. Many continue to follow public health recommendations, though the protocols may vary by business. Please contact individual businesses directly if you would like detailed information on their efforts to protect you and other guests.
Recommended Face Coverings
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends face coverings based on personal preference and personal level of risk. Masks are not mandated in Arizona, but hotels, restaurants, retails store and attractions may encourage or require them. Please contact individual businesses directly if you would like to know more.
Airport Safety Protocols
As if clear, sunny skies and a cool breeze aren’t enough reasons to visit, Scottsdale is kicking off the new year in style. Find a brand-new resort, captivating art and performances, fresh dining, and non-stop cultural and sporting events surrounding the Big Game this spring in the Sonoran Desert.
Travel Requirements
There are no travel restrictions or quarantine requirements in Arizona. Pre-departure testing is no longer required, but non-U.S. citizens visiting the U.S. must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 unless they meet criteria for an exception. International travelers can use the CDC Travel Assessment to prepare for travel.
COVID-19 Testing
If you are in need of a COVID-19 test while in Scottsdale, most pharmacies and grocery stores offer free testing; the Arizona Department of Health Services maintains a list of such sites. The city of Scottsdale has information on additional sites throughout the city. Embry Health and Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health also provide free testing.
