Whether you crave the seclusion of a private casita with its separate living spaces, a spacious king or queen room, or an accessible option, the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort caters to every preference. Each room boasts a multi-purpose living area, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a private balcony or patio for enjoying the breathtaking desert views.
