At this Hyatt, an expansive Southwestern lobby decorated with original art opens onto a nearly three acre water playground festooned with palm trees and flowering plants.

Nineteen miles from Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport, the Hyatt Regency Scottdale, with its beautiful setting, recreational amenities and conference facilities, attracts couples looking for a romantic getaway, golfers and families seeking vacation memories, and business people attending meetings.

Please note:

Renovation of the lobby is scheduled for completion Sept. 22, 2005. In September, workers will be finishing up, so noise should not be a factor. The middle and lower lobby area are the only ones being affected and are sealed off. The resort entrance, front desk, guestrooms and all services have remained accessible. Facilities and the outdoors are reached easily using walkways and elevators.
