I went to Scottsdale on a Girls trip back in Feb of 2010. We decided to stay at the W..and we were so glad we did. The location of this hotel is PERFECT. Right by the mall, spas, tons of restaurants and of course..the night life. It's not that far from camelback mountains either, I think it was a 1-2 mile walk.
The lobby is beautiful and the staff here is amazingly friendly. The concierge really was helpful. Sara was able to score my friends some VIP tickets to a movie premier that the hotel was hosting...it was great!
The rooms are nice, great decor, lavish, and the beds are soo comfy. The products in the room are all by bliss..which is nice. I will warn you though..the one thing thats a bit odd about the hotel is that the bathroom has doors that are see through. The shower and the toilet doors are made of a foggy glass...so if you plan on staying with someone that you aren't super close with...you may consider getting your own room. The girls I stayed with I've been friends with for 20+ years and even we were a little uncomfortable.
The escort car service is great...they pick you up and drop you off anywhere in the vicinity...so nice!
Sushi Roku and the Living room bars have great drinks...the food at sushi roku is amazing, and awesome veg options as well.
The pool area/pool bar is beautiful. This place is hopping on a Saturday night with gorgeous people...great music.
All in all, if i ever go back to Scottsdale, I don't think I'd stay anywhere else!
