My stress level hit the max, temperatures were below zero and I needed an affordable February winter getaway with the BF ASAP. Somehow google and Yelp led me to Scottsdale. Specifically Firesky. Perfection.
The moment we walked up to the check in desk I knew we were in the right place. Hotel staff inquired about the purpose of our visit and helped us choose a gorgeous quiet room away from the pool/bar.
The weather was perfect and we spent 80% of our time lounging at the sand bar and pool. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Check out the photos, it looks even better in person.
The happy hour menu at the bar isn't too shabby. Skip the hotel restaurant (see my review of Taggia) and head out to explore for dinner.
The hotel has an Escalade that will drop you off wherever you want to go...within a couple miles. We used this everyday. There is a glorious mall within a couple blocks and there are tons of restaurants in the area. Be sure to check out Roaring Fork across the street. Call ahead for a reservation.
This may become my annual winter getaway. Enjoy!
