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."
Refined Guestrooms, Suites, and Casitas
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.
Star-Studded, Imaginative Dining Concepts
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.
Soak in Paradise: An Elevated Poolside Experience
Outside, guests will uncover a new aquatic wonderland with the
resort’s upgraded 2.5-acre destination pool complex and expanded
cabanas, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, excitement, and
entertainment for visitors of all ages. The 2.5-acre outdoor oasis
features 10 unique swimming pools and a pristine sand beach. At the
heart of the complex stands a thrilling three-story, high-speed
waterslide, promising excitement for adventure enthusiasts of all
ages, while a tranquil whirlpool spa offers a haven for relaxation
seekers. For those looking for more activities, a beachside putting
green provides a novel touch to this already exceptional
escape.
The New Spa Avania: Destination-Inspired Wellbeing

In mid-September, the refreshed Spa Avania introduced a
revolutionary wellness experience choreographed to the science of
time. As the first Arizona spa to align treatments with the body's
natural daily rhythms, Spa Avania offers a holistic journey from
morning awakening to evening unwinding. This innovative approach
combines personalized treatments, mineral water therapy,
synchronized music, and tailored nutrition to create an immersive
experience respecting the body's changing needs. New treatments

scenic bicycle trails that showcase the desert's beauty, and
complimentary bikes to fully embrace the Sonoran landscape.
Additional recreation activities include 27 holes of championship
golf at the adjacent Gainey Ranch Golf Club, where players can
perfect their swing amidst stunning mountain vistas. Two lighted
tennis courts allow for matches under the starry desert sky, while
eight pickleball courts cater to enthusiasts of this popular

Grand Gatherings in a Brand-New Arizona Ballroom
In October, Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort unveiled its fully
renovated existing meeting space that includes a revitalization of
the 14,000 square foot Vaquero Ballroom, as well as the remaining
52,000 square feet of existing indoor/outdoor function space.
