“Today we proudly unveil the new W Scottsdale, combining leading-edge, contemporary design and urban sophistication, including innovative solutions that create the ultimate world of wow for our guests,” said Eva Ziegler, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels Worldwide and Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts. “With the opening of W Scottsdale, W Hotels brings a vibrant new destination to the Southwest, offering a unique and buzzing lifestyle experience to the more traditional resorts for which Scottsdale is known.”

Located one block east of Scottsdale Road on Camelback Road, the hotel’s exterior design promises to modernize the architecture of downtown Scottsdale. W Scottsdale’s all-glass shell and moveable exterior shutters transform the look of the hotel during both the day and night. Unique water features are a focal point of W Scottsdale’s architecture, setting the stage for multiple design moments throughout the property. The second floor outdoor space acts as the social centerpiece of the hotel, featuring an alluring pool directly above WHEELS (valet) with four large, round glass portholes allowing guests in the porte-cochere below a sneak peek at swimmers above. Other features include the Shade and sunset.beach destination bars and inviting, private poolside cabanas. A natural stone and reflective glass art wall in the hotel’s entryway, designed by artist Otto Rigan, captures the essence of Arizona’s surrounding desert landscape. “We had always envisioned bringing a uniquely-designed lodging, residential and entertainment experience to Scottsdale,” said Steven Yari, Principal, Triyar Companies. “W Scottsdale is a true mixed-use project blending luxury lodging, residential, dining, spa, retail and entertainment. It combines state-of-the-art facilities and services with elements of a resort environment to create the ideal urban retreat and lifestyle residential experience. There are plenty of local resorts in which to relax. The difference is – the W in downtown Scottsdale provides a resort experience while being in the center of it all.”
