| - Recently I had the opportunity to stay at the Andaz Scottsdale. It really is one of my favorite properties and I can't wait to go back. The property is bungalows spread about the property, you will find 4 or 5 attached to each other, they are all 1 story so you have no one above you or below you. The desert landscape is beautiful, and the grounds are perfectly manicured with fire pits scattered around the property. The rooms are mid-century modern. Very clean, modern, yet retro. We had an upgraded room, a king deluxe which gave us a private patio off of the bathroom as well as the little patio out front which all rooms have.
The Andaz is trying a new concept, one I found very welcoming. The hotel lobby is called the guest house and you are welcomed as though you are coming in to someone's home. Very informal, with beverages being offered and delicious brownies upon check in.
The property has a lovely spa, wonderful pool with a grill and a private area called the Retreat, the perfect spot for a family reunion or multi-generational vacation. The area is steps away from the other rooms, has its own pool.
When it came time to check out, I was bummed that we didn't have more time. It was very relaxing, peaceful and we felt rejuvenated from our few days at the resort.
The onsite restaurant Weft and Warp is absolutely delicious, give it a try.
The staff couldn't have been more friendly. Everyone on staff was welcoming, friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
