Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch

Interiors of the 492 guest rooms and suites, inspired by the Sonoran southwest, incorporate amber, mica, granite, wrought iron, suede and leather and come furnished with one king-size or two double Hyatt Grand Beds™, armchairs with ottoman, large working desks, and bathrooms with stone vanities. Amenities blend high-tech touches like iHome stereos and clocks, LCD TVs, and Wifi Internet access with stylish touches such as Portico spa products. Many rooms come with balconies or patios overlooking the McDowell Mountains, the beach, or the resort's pools or golf course. Seven freestanding casitas have from one to four bedrooms and living and dining areas. Regency Club service is also available.

On-site dining options include SWB, a southwest bistro specializing in wood-fired dishes; Sushi Centro, which offers classic sushi, sashimi, and sakes; and the poolside Water Garden café, serving light options of sandwiches, salads, and paninis. Alto ristorante e bar, ideal for Italian fare aficionados, comes complete with a complimentary gondola ride through the resort's "waterways." For a quick bite, Moka Coffee Bar is a good choice.
