| - The former Cottonwoods Resort has been reborn into a new, sleek, modern Andaz property that feels like it could be 20 miles from anywhere, even though it is a block off Scottsdale Road. My wife and I were there for drinks as the sun set and the moon came up...the view of Camelback Mountain and the wide open, star-filled sky was incredible. The service was terrific, the menu selection top notch, and the vibe was comfortable yet sophisticated - or sophisticated, yet comfortable. It looks like it would be a great place to hold a wedding or some other celebration.
I really don't get the complaints about the restrooms. There are about 10-12 private toilets - each marked W/M, as is becoming common nowadays, with a central, spacious set of sinks. There was nothing remotely creepy about it, and it was head-and-shoulders above a typical public restroom in terms of cleanliness. The reviewer who found it "DISGUSTING!" needs to develop a bit of maturity.
I'm a local resident, and Andaz has been kind of under-the-radar so far. I assume at some point they will have a grand opening, but for now it is a hidden gem.
