The property
The Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort reopened under its new name after a $115 million renovation that repositioned the former Hyatt Regency property at Gainey Ranch. You get 496 rooms (including 18 casitas and the standalone Gainey House), 10 pools, six on-site restaurants, and a 19-room spa with a Himalayan Salt Room. The renovation is visible in the room interiors, the pool complex, and the public spaces.
What to expect
The Talking Stick courses, O'odham and Piipaash, sit roughly five miles east, which makes the Grand Hyatt a workable base if those layouts anchor your trip. Gainey Ranch Golf is adjacent for casual rounds. The 10-pool complex is the most extensive among Scottsdale's non-Five Diamond resorts, and the spa is substantial enough to genuinely entertain non-golfing companions. With six restaurants on-site you do not need to leave the property for dinner, though Doubletree Ranch Road puts independents within a short drive.
Rates and booking
$250 to $450 nightly. The pricing sits below the Five Diamond tier (Fairmont Princess, The Phoenician) while the facility quality approaches it. World of Hyatt points apply.
