Scottsdale has a treasure trove of outstanding resort hotels, and many have first-rate restaurants tucked inside. Whether you’re looking for upscale Italian or a burger and fries, Scottsdale’s resort restaurants have something to please every palate.
Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows
You’ll find modern Mediterranean cuisine at Weft & Warp Art Bar + Kitchen, which sports floor- to-ceiling views of Camelback Mountain, providing the perfect setting to sip a frosty craft cocktail while soaking up a desert-hued sunset. Settle in and order some chickpea hummus with roasted garlic or lamb ribs with pomegranate molasses to begin your Weft & Warp culinary experience. Choose from sumptuous house-made pasta dishes (the pork sugo pappardelle is spot on) or try a main dish, with selections like wild striped bass with lemon orzo and roasted chicken with endive kale salad. Top off your feast with house-made gelato or seasonal sorbet.
Caesars Republic Scottsdale, A Hilton Hotel
One of the newest additions to Old Town, this chic contemporary hotel is home to three top-rate dining options. Leading the way is Luna by Giada, an elegant restaurant from celebrity chef Giada DeLaurentiis. Luna specializes in Italian fare with a nod to California cuisine in a sleek space awash in neutral tones. Don’t miss two of Giada’s signature dishes here—the lemon spaghetti with shrimp and margherita pizza—and be sure to save room for the pillowy limoncello souffle.
Pronto by Giada is the hotel’s fast-casual brunch and lunch restaurant, where you can pick up specialty coffee drinks and house-made pastries to start your day, along with paninis, salads, antipasti platters and gelato.
SEVEN’s stunning view of Camelback Mountain sets the stage for a memorable meal. Open for lunch and dinner, you’ll find everything from chopped chicken cobb salad to a classic wagyu burger to grapefruit-glazed salmon. If you’re in the mood for drinks in a buzzy atmosphere, snag a seat at the bar, order a passion fruit margarita or crisp glass of pinot grigio and get ready to people watch.
The Hermosa Inn
Whether seated on the leafy patio or in the cozy historic dining room, a meal at Lon’s promises to be an unforgettable experience. Expect top-tier service and exquisite globally inspired fare, including irresistible salted caramel monkey bread topped with chopped pecans, Himalayan salt-seared ahi tuna, fork-tender beef short ribs, and shareable cinnamon-sugar churros with melted Mexican chocolate and caramel dip. After dining, stroll around the lush grounds and circle back for a cocktail at Lon’s Last Drop Bar to top off a perfect meal. The Hermosa Inn is a true Arizona gem.
Hotel Valley Ho
This mid-century modern hotel is home to ZuZu, an all-day restaurant with an eclectic menu of brunch and dinner favorites, including killer huevos rancheros, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, spicy Hawaiian ahi tuna and a perfect pairing of ribeye and French fries. Looking for an outdoor experience? Gather your friends and reserve a spot for Fireside Nights and enjoy Zuzu’s food and drink around a cozy fire pit under the stars.
Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort
As part of The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch’s $110 million rebrand to become Arizona’s first Grand Hyatt, celebrity chef Richard Blais, who currently appears with Gordon Ramsay on Fox’s Next Level Chef, has created six new culinary concepts that will each provide an unforgettable dining experience. The most notable are La Zozzona, a modern Italian restaurant focusing on the cuisine of Rome, Florence and Tuscany with house-made pasta, wood-fired steaks and more, and Tiki Taka, an energetic tapas and sushi spot featuring small plates and signature cocktails.
