Scottsdale’s hospitality scene is entering an exciting new chapter, with a wave of openings, renovations and cultural additions reshaping the destination’s lodging landscape.
Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North
Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North is embracing the spirit of the Sonoran Desert with the addition of Desert Orchard, a new café set against the dramatic backdrop of Pinnacle Peak. Guided by Executive Pastry Chef Christina Kaelberer, the café offers a seasonal menu designed to evolve throughout the day, reflecting both the landscape and the rhythms of the desert. Menu highlights include freshly baked pastries, cold-pressed juices, and wholesome bowls and sandwiches layered with seasonal produce and herbs.
AC Hotel Scottsdale Old Town
The AC Hotel Scottsdale Old Town has opened its doors, bringing a sleek, European-inspired aesthetic to the area. The 168-room hotel offers a refined yet approachable stay, highlighted by two rooftop experiences — a pool and Cielito, a restaurant and bar celebrating the flavors of Northwest Mexico. Additional amenities at this pet-friendly hotel include the AC Lounge, fitness center, flexible meeting space, and spacious accommodations that cater to both leisure and business travelers.
The Hermosa Inn
Scottsdale’s rich history remains front and center at The Hermosa Inn. Built by cowboy artist Lon Megargee in the 1930s, the property continues to honor its artistic roots while evolving its cultural offerings. Alongside one of the largest collections of Megargee’s original works, the inn has partnered with ZHOS Gallery to introduce Shona stone sculptures from Zimbabwe, blending global contemporary art with deep cultural tradition.
Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas
Leading the way is the debut of Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas, formerly known as Scottsdale Plaza Resort & Villas. Now one of the largest properties in the Kimpton portfolio and just minutes from Old Town Scottsdale, the reimagined resort stretches across 40 acres in the foothills of Camelback and Mummy mountains. The resort’s first phase introduces 260 redesigned guest rooms and casitas, with additional Valley Villas and Residences slated for late 2026. Guests will enjoy an immersive desert-inspired experience, from the Baja-influenced restaurant Hecho Libre, helmed by acclaimed Chef Wes Avila, to the resort’s six sparkling pools, a new event pavilion, Spa Miralina, and thoughtfully designed “Desert Reveries” installations that weave art and mindfulness throughout the grounds.
JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa
JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa has unveiled a $25-million transformation of its iconic spa. The fully remodeled spa offers deeply personalized and nature-connected wellness rooted in its new ariVéa philosophy — a holistic approach that blends timeless rituals with the energy and serenity of the desert. Discover personalized pathways to well-being through sound therapy, hydrotherapies and desert-inspired treatments. Highlights of the spa include 20 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy pools, an indoor Wellness Circuit, new Wellness Studio with sound baths, the debut of Ora Café and a licensed nutritionist.
Hilton Scottsdale Resort & Villas
Meanwhile, Hilton Scottsdale Resort & Villas is unveiling enhancements as part of its ongoing $24 million renovation, including the newly announced 2-bedroom Villas, which feature a private pool. The property’s latest addition in dining, Salt & Sol, brings Mediterranean-inspired flavors to a poolside setting, offering fresh dishes alongside a curated selection of specialty salts from around the world.
