USA | Hyatt Hotels Corporation has completed its multi-million dollar renovation of the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale, the first of its brand in Arizona.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort has completed its highly anticipated USD $115 million property-wide renovation. The property, formerly known as Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch, marks the first Grand Hyatt hotel in Arizona. The newly reimagined luxury resort invites guests to connect with the captivating spirit of the American Southwest, complemented by six elevated dining experiences in partnership with celebrity chef Richard Blais, expanded pool and cabana offerings, a refreshed Spa Avania, expanded group meeting space capabilities, and more.
"We are thrilled to unveil Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort, marking a significant milestone as the first Grand Hyatt in Arizona and elevating our presence in this dynamic market," said Ripton Melhado, Senior Vice President, Field Operations at Hyatt.
"As a cornerstone of our expanding Grand Hyatt portfolio, this resort will deliver the brand's signature blend of sophisticated luxury and bold experiences, while authentically capturing the spirit and distinctive character of the American Southwest."
The resort's design, executed by international architectural firm, WATG, and Phoenix-based firm, Hale Collective, seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, offering dramatic mountain vistas while celebrating the interplay of light, water, and desert botanicals. The project harmoniously blends sophisticated architecture with the raw beauty of the Sonoran Desert, creating an unparalleled, captivating atmosphere. The renovation includes 496 updated accommodations, including the resort’s 18 luxury Casitas, and the ultra-luxe, two-story Gainey House, which features a private entrance and driveway, private patio and barbeque, and incredible pool views.
Guests can choose from various room types to suit their needs, ranging from residential-style luxury casitas to king and queen bed accommodations and accessible rooms. Every guest room on property features a multi-purpose living space, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a private balcony or patio. Optimal for groups of friends and families, the resort’s casitas offer separate living spaces for entertaining and gathering. They are also equipped with a kitchenette and dual bathrooms with sweeping views of the resort’s pool and surrounding golf course.
The resort is debuting four new food and beverage concepts – La Zozzona (Modern Italian Chophouse), Tiki Taka (global small plates), Mesa Centrale (Southwestern grill), and Grand Vista Lounge (lobby bar). The property has already introduced two new poolside concepts - Sandbar and H2Oasis. The restaurants are spearheaded by celebrated chef and James Beard-nominated cookbook author, Richard Blais. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, Blais honed his craft in some of the world’s most illustrious kitchens, such as The French Laundry, Daniel, Chez Panisse and El Bulli. He currently co-stars alongside Gordon Ramsay on FOX's hit cooking competition, Next Level Chef, and was the first winner of Bravo's Top Chef All-Stars. Blais is bringing his robust experience in the industry to six concepts at the resort.
