Located in the tranquil Paradise Valley, Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows brings together mid-century modern design and the rugged, natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert. A hidden gem just moments from downtown Scottsdale, this 23-acre luxury retreat offers an exquisite blend of art, nature, and indulgence.
At the heart of the resort are 201 bungalow-style accommodations, thoughtfully arranged in intimate clusters to evoke the feel of a secluded desert village. Each bungalow is a sanctuary of modern sophistication, boasting floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Camelback Mountain's majestic silhouette, private patios for starlit evenings, and interiors that balance clean lines with natural textures. Elevated suites offer outdoor showers, oversized soaking tubs, and fire pits—perfect for embracing the magic of the desert sky.
Culinary experiences at Andaz Scottsdale are equally captivating. The resort's signature restaurant, Weft & Warp Art Bar + Kitchen, draws inspiration from the surrounding desert landscape, crafting seasonal dishes that highlight locally sourced ingredients. An open-kitchen concept brings guests closer to the artistry behind each plate, whether it's a smoky mesquite-grilled ribeye or a vibrant citrus-infused salad. Poolside cocktails, infused with desert botanicals, offer a refreshing nod to the region's flavors. The Turquoise Pool Bar curates a laid-back yet refined experience, where light bites and signature drinks are best enjoyed under the Arizona sun.
Beyond the impeccable design and cuisine, Andaz Scottsdale celebrates its deep connection to the local arts community. Partnering with the nearby Cattle Track Arts Compound, the resort invites artists into its fold — hosting workshops, live demonstrations, and studio tours. Guests can sip their morning espresso while watching a painter bring a canvas to life or browse handcrafted ceramics that tell stories of the desert's soul. Rotating art installations dot the resort's public spaces, further blending creativity into the Andaz experience.
For those seeking serenity, the Palo Verde Spa & Apothecary is a haven of holistic healing, drawing on indigenous ingredients and ancient wellness rituals. Signature treatments like the Prickly Pear Body Polish leave guests rejuvenated, while the tranquil spa pool offers a quiet respite beneath the Arizona sun. Personalized wellness journeys, including guided meditation sessions and desert-inspired aromatherapy experiences, elevate the spa's offerings.
Adventure seekers will find plenty to indulge in as well. The resort's expert guides curate tailored excursions—from sunrise hikes up Camelback Mountain to off-road desert adventures and guided stargazing experiences. Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy sunrise yoga sessions, while the resort's three shimmering pools offer the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.
Whether you're hiking the iconic Camelback Mountain at dawn, lounging by one of the resort's three glistening pools, or discovering a new favorite artist through the resort's creative collaborations, Andaz Scottsdale is more than a getaway—it's an immersion into the spirit of the desert.
Here, luxury is not just about opulence—it's about authenticity, artistry, and a seamless blend of nature and design. In the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows redefines the essence of escape, offering a thoughtful retreat where every detail resonates with the rhythm of the land.
