2. The Phoenician

The Phoenician has one of the best restaurants in the area, great for every meal of the day. Scottsdale is very near, but The Phoenician provides everything necessary to make it the ultimate destination to relax.

3. The Saguaro

The Saguaro is located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Though the amenities are slightly outdated, the decor and style of the hotel are bright, warm, and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and the hotel has everything that could be needed, including a pool and fully-equipped spa. It’s also next door to all of the best restaurants and activities Scottsdale has to offer. What is truly exceptional about the Saguaro is the staff. Despite being a large commercial hotel, they work tirelessly to help guests feel as though they are staying in a home rather than a hotel. They, and the location, make the Saguaro one of the best options for accommodation while staying in Scottsdale.

4. Talking Stick Resort

Resort

Located away from the main Scottsdale attractions, the Talking Stick Resort is so ample in amenities and activities that it’s almost easy to forget there’s an entire city to see and explore. Talking Stick comes with a Las Vegas-style casino, which provides adults a great chance to unwind and have some fun. There are also two golf courses onsite, not to mention the standard pool and spa that are available for all guests. The rooms are large and beautiful, decorated minimally in a relatively contemporary manner. Though the casino implies an older age group, there is plenty for families to experience while staying at the Talking Stick. The food within the hotel is superbly prepared, but restaurants and the rest of downtown Scottsdale are minutes away and easily accessible.

5. WorldMark Scottsdale

The fitness club is surrounded by many hiking trails to appease nature lovers and fitness enthusiasts.

6. Bespoke Inn Scottsdale

Boutique Hotel, Hotel

Somewhere in between a bed and breakfast and a luxury hotel, the Bespoke Inn offers the best of both worlds. Small, but welcoming and cozy, Bespoke Inn is an arm’s reach away from all of Scottsdale’s main attractions right in the middle of the art district. With an award-winning chef, the food at the Bespoke Inn echoes Mediterranean cuisine. What’s notable about the boutique hotel is the complimentary collection of British Pashley bicycles, which are part of a larger assortment of artisan bikes available for rental from the Bespoke Cycle shop. Visitors can explore Scottsdale and come back to a home away from home.

7. Village Grove Bed and Breakfast

Bed and Breakfast, Hotel

Village Grove Bed and Breakfast is one of the best in the area. The owner, Deirdre, lives on-site and treats guests as if they were staying in her own home. Village Grove is located in a quiet neighborhood of Old Town Scottsdale that is secluded from the main area of Scottsdale, but close enough that downtown can be reached by foot. There are two bedrooms provided, both fitted with king beds and full bathrooms. A private pool and deck are available for guests as well. Of course, the much-anticipated breakfast is never disappointing. The food is exceptional and provides enough fuel to battle the hot sun and explore Scottsdale to its full extent.
