Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Set against the McDowell Mountains, this Sonoran Desert property pairs renovated rooms and comfortable outdoor furniture with popular poolside dining. Guests reliably highlight comfortable Hyatt Grand Beds, cactus garden views, and welcoming staff. However, poor soundproofing is a frequent issue, with noise from hallway chatter, slamming doors, and late-night music in the central stone lobby reaching guest rooms. 148166

Service28 mentions
  • With award redemptions at the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale, a gorgeous property with fantastic service and plentiful amenities, starting at 21,000 points per night, a stay here is a no-brainer. 17
  • The resort is stunning. However I cannot remember one single time when I haven't had some problem there, and in most cases the problem was not quickly resolved. 18
  • Personalized service isn't something you can realistically expect at a property this size. 6
  • The meal in the Golden Swan, their best restaurant was tasty enough, but service was spotty -- friendly enough but not terribly prompt. 18
  • Service also took longer than anticipated, so for families, it's fine for a casual experience, but plan for extra time if you're hungry or have little ones. 7
  • The staff was notably kind and welcoming without being stuffy. We felt very welcomed and well taken care of! 12
  • The poolside service was a dream. 11
  • The front desk agent was friendly, acknowledging that my room was booked through the Guest of Honor program. 10
  • The food spread was better than average for a domestic lounge, and the staff was great about replenishing items and keeping things tidy. 16
  • Each and every interaction that I had was very professional and courteous, so I don't want it to come off as if they were snooty. 9
  • The public rooms are wonderful. The halls and guest rooms less so but nice and well maintained. 18
  • For a hotel of this caliber, the service was quite attentive. All of the hotel employees greeted me and I was even remembered by name whenever I passed by the front desk. 10
  • The staff tried to get me an even better upgrade at check-in, but the only option was on the ground floor. 14
  • My bad for not asking. We also had very uneven service at the Japanese restaurant onsite, Tiki Taka. The food was amazing, but our server seemed very stressed and over loaded (my sister, a former server, used the words "in the weeds") and they clearly didn't staff adequately for the holiday weekend. 12
  • For families, we would heartily recommend meals at SWB. The service was friendly and top-notch. 11
  • My only other disappointment was that I was limited to a 1:30PM checkout. Once again, they seemed to lean into, if not relish the fact that they are a "Resort" property. 9
  • A sandy "beach" is also available. Good food and drink service. 18
  • The service is very spotty. We have stayed there probably 12-15 times and have had some problem every time we have stayed. 18
  • The halls and guest rooms less so but nice and well maintained. Service flawless. 18
  • The service at the Grand Hyatt was excellent! They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with recommendations or special requests. 21
  • When we sat down, we were immediately greeted and given cups and a pitcher of water. Service was very affable, if a little slow at times. 9
  • Contemporary architecture, dramatic landscaping, a water playground with its own beach, a staff that's always ready to assist you, good restaurants, and even gondola rides - it all adds up to a lot of fun at one of the most smoothly run resorts in Arizona. 3
  • It's not a guaranteed benefit for Diamond members at resorts, so I'm not complaining, but given the low occupancy I was surprised my initial request was denied. I was eventually granted a 2PM check-out, which puzzles me even further. 16
  • Service was attentive and seamless throughout the meal. 17
  • The staff is great about shooing them away and will happily replace your meal if it becomes a casualty. 11
  • Thankfully, the front desk greeted us warmly and made the late arrival feel smooth. 7
  • Cheerful and outgoing, staff here seem to genuinely enjoy what they do and are quick to help you make the most of your time in their backyard. 2
  • The pool staff is happy to inflate and deflate floats upon request. 11
Food28 mentions
  • The Grand Hyatt Scottsdale is in a prime location, surrounded by some of Phoenix's best restaurants. With shopping and dining just a short walk away, everything you need is close by. 21
  • The breakfast selection was somewhat limited, but everything was absolutely delicious, with a selection of fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, bagels, and pastries. 21
  • The resort's half-dozen dining concepts are spearheaded by celebrity chef Richard Blais. His interpretation of classics from a variety of cuisines is intriguing and tasty. 2
  • Richard Blais' Italian restaurant, La Zozzona, is a standout, drawing both resort guests and locals for an effortlessly warm, polished dining experience. 17
  • Breakfast the next morning was served in the Regency Club as well, though the spread was somewhat disappointing in comparison to the selection offered in the evening. 16
  • We had one dinner at Tiki Taka, which serves Japanese and Spanish small plates meant for sharing. The food itself was okay - not bad, but not standout - and it was pricier than we expected. 7
  • During the evening, the offerings included fresh vegetables and fruit, small plates, chicken wings one night, and surprisingly good desserts. 7
  • Again, the breakfast was very good, but at the end of the day, it was an egg sandwich, pancakes and huevos rancheros with coffee and juice. 9
  • The resort has multiple restaurants and although we didn't get to go to all of them, we did enjoy our breakfast at Mesa Centrale and it was truly delicious and our server, Jennifer, did an amazing job. 12
  • When it was time for dessert and we couldn't decide, our server said the magic words: "Just get two!" The tableside tiramisu ($14) and the Sicilian cannoli with citrus ricotta and pistachio gelato ($14) were a delightful end to a fabulous dinner. 17
  • Breakfast at Mesa Centrale was a relaxed, satisfying start to the day. 17
  • The breakfast was enough for us to get our day started, but the evening appetizers were certainly not enough for a meal. 14
  • The food was amazing, but our server seemed very stressed and over loaded (my sister, a former server, used the words "in the weeds") and they clearly didn't staff adequately for the holiday weekend. 12
  • Breakfast was in Mesa Centrale. The location of this restaurant is the same as the previous southwest style dining place. Perhaps the morning closure is just for the slow/low revenue summer season. A limited menu but what was available was good. 8
  • Mesa Central: A casual restaurant where we enjoyed excellent breakfasts daily, including an unbelievably delicious take on huevos rancheros. 6
  • Alto ristorante e bar is a high-end Italian restaurant with menu items such as Spanish octopus, baked burrata and focaccia, caprese salad, bolognese pasta, and cacio e pepe. The entrées ranged from $29 to $46, so the prices weren't necessarily exorbitant. 10
  • For dinner, I would highly recommend Tiki Taka, which offers a vibrant menu that fuses Spanish tapas with Japanese delights. 5
  • I definitely would recommend the property. Great food in RC also. 18
  • Food at the pool was pretty good. We had the fresh fruit plate which was very good. The tacos al pastor were above average for pool fare and the bulgogi fries with kim chi were pretty good as well. 9
  • The menu items were all reasonable, as most breakfast entrées cost under $20. 10
  • I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast so much that I forgot to take a picture - but my avocado toast, a green smoothie, and lemon pancakes came in just under $50 and made for a great start to my day. 10
  • Thoughtful details were abundant, from the built-in storage bench - which doubled as a luggage rack - beneath the large flat-screen TV to a fully stocked coffee and tea bar and minifridge unit finished with a marble countertop and brass hardware. 17
  • The meal in the Golden Swan, their best restaurant was tasty enough, but service was spotty -- friendly enough but not terribly prompt. 18
  • My daughter had the blue corn flour pancakes. My wife had the huevos rancheros and I the Mesa breakfast sandwich. Each item was delicious. 9
  • Our entire family enjoyed fresh guacamole and chips made tableside, delicious burgers, and finished our meal with chocolate mousse (love that mousse!). Our son announced that his meal was "heaven on a plate." 11
  • Standout morning dishes like blue corn pancakes ($24) and huevos rancheros ($26) paired beautifully with strong coffee and lattes, while indoor and outdoor seating - complete with mountain views and fire pits, of course - made it an inviting spot to linger. 17
  • Now you can view the menu on the QR code at your pool chair, but you can't place your order directly; you'll need to ask a waiter. There's also a kids' menu, which is a nice touch for families. We tried the burgers, tacos and chicken strips, and everything was tasty and well-prepared. 7
  • Top-tier Globalists get to enjoy a whopping $150 credit for à-la-carte breakfast daily. This is one of the most generous complimentary breakfast offerings I've ever seen. 10
Bathroom11 mentions
  • The bath amenities were KenetMD, which I far prefer to the old Porticrap Portico amenities. 16
  • The remodeled bathroom was beautiful, and we really enjoyed the high-quality hygiene products, including the shampoo and soaps. 21
  • While the extended balcony felt nearly as big as the actual room, the bathroom was a bit small, but it had a walk-in shower along with posh Balmain toiletries. 2
  • I particularly appreciated the shower, as the controls were on the opposite wall from the showerhead, making it possible to adjust the temperature without getting wet (yes, I probably stay at hotels too much given that I notice this). 16
  • The shower water pressure was weak, but there was plenty of hot water and the bathroom was organized well and was spacious. There was plenty of storage with multiple areas of drawers and there was hanging space as you'd expect. 9
  • The shower water pressure was weak, but there was plenty of hot water and the bathroom was organized well and was spacious. 9
  • While the bathroom was perfectly fine as a solo traveler, I could see couples and families bumping elbows in the tight space. 10
  • The room was like a triangular figure 8 (use your imaginatin) and the bathroom rather small. 18
  • The bathroom was decently sized, and well laid out. 16
  • Like much of the bedroom, the bathroom was unfussy with bare-bones amenities. It didn't necessarily feel up to par with other Hyatt Regency hotels I've previously stayed at, which tend to offer thoughtful touches like cotton swabs or makeup remover. 10
  • The spacious closet was well stocked with plush bathrobes, slippers and travel essentials (there wasn't a clothes steamer, but I could easily request one from housekeeping), while the bathroom featured a walk-in shower with crisp white tiling and vanity lighting, plus Balmain Paris bath amenities. 17
Location4 mentions
  • Great review! We've stayed there 3 times and it a great location from which to explore Scottsdale/Phoenix. 16
  • The only downside? There aren't many restaurants or activities within walking distance of the hotel. If you want to explore, you'll need a car. 6
  • With its prime location near some of the best dining and shopping in Phoenix, plus a perfect mix of relaxation and activities, the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale is a fantastic choice for your next family or couples getaway. 21
  • The resort's location in Scottsdale is unbeatable. It's a short drive to downtown Scottsdale's shopping and dining, offers stunning views of the McDowell Mountains, and provides easy access to Scottsdale Road. 6
Room32 mentions
  • I enjoyed having such a spacious room, but what really got me were the views! You could step out onto your balcony with a fresh cup of coffee in the morning and take in the beautiful scenery. 20
  • While all guest rooms don't necessarily need to be modern and new, I hoped there would be more functional amenities. There weren't enough outlets - only on 1 side of the bed - and the air conditioner was loud at night. 10
  • The room itself was modern and comfortable, and fairly typical of domestic Hyatt's. 16
  • No matter where I turned, the views of this resort were terrific. If you can snag an upgrade to a mountain view or book this room type in advance, I'd highly recommend it. 10
  • The balcony was small, but had comfortable furniture, and a nice view over the lagoon and cactus garden. 16
  • While the rest of the resort was stunning and offered endless activities, the room left much to be desired. 10
  • While all the standard suites were sold out (understandable for Valentine's Day), they did upgrade our view, and we loved it! Our King Room with a Courtyard View was spacious and well-designed, featuring a single pullout sofa and a charming coffee bar. 21
  • Given the low occupancy and what I thought was the associate hinting at an upgrade, I was somewhat surprised to not receive any upgrade beyond the room category I'd booked. 16
  • At first glance, I noticed the old, stained carpet and outdated fixtures throughout the guest room. 10
  • The extended balcony gave us room to spread out and enjoy the views, while the large television made family quiet time at the end of the day comfortable and relaxing. 11
  • Suitable for one to three guests, the space also included an oversized armless chair that converted into a comfy twin bed and doubled as stylish seating around the marble table - ideal for a relaxed predinner snack or glass of wine. 17
  • Jess used a Suite Upgrade Award to upgrade her family to a Fountain Court Suite and it was huge. 14
  • At the top of the range, you have the immaculately furnished Presidential Suite at 1,200 square feet. 5
  • At 650 square feet, the Palm Suite felt noticeably more spacious than a standard room, and for a family of four, that extra space matters. 7
  • The room felt drab, largely due to its uninspired decor. Still, at roughly 400 square feet, it was decently spacious. 10
  • We were upgraded to a two-queen mountain view room. We had a huge balcony and great views over the pool, with the mountains in the background. 14
  • The highlight for me was the spacious balcony overlooking the pools and mountains-a perfect spot to relax. 6
  • I used an SUA so was assigned a Fountain Court Suite. A very comfortable room and of course the decor was new and pleasing. 8
  • bathroom was fine; the room itself was roomy, but no desk, just a glass topped round table; a nice "easy" chair, balcony with chairs and cactus. All in all, perfectly OK room, but nothing special. 18
  • Good (+) - rooms are obviously the same, just renovated. Same room doors with massive gaps up to an inch! (Hence only a '+'. Used TSU for Fountain Suite. Nespresso machine. - comfortable beds 8
  • Furthermore, the bedroom closet was spacious to tuck away my belongings. 10
  • We stayed in a preferred view queen room with an extended balcony and Regency Club access. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed for our family of four. 11
  • The quality of the hotel's outdoor furniture (mostly Gloster I think) looks great and is comfortable. 9
  • The layout also means some long walks between your room, the parking lot, and the various restaurants or amenities. 6
  • While the extended balcony felt nearly as big as the actual room, the bathroom was a bit small, but it had a walk-in shower along with posh Balmain toiletries. 2
  • Good (+) - rooms are obviously the same, just renovated. Same room doors with massive gaps up to an inch! (Hence only a '+'. 8
  • We felt truly welcomed, which made our experience even more enjoyable. We absolutely loved the Courtyard view! I considered requesting a fire pit room since suites weren't available, but I'm so glad I stuck with the Courtyard view. 21
  • I enjoyed having such a spacious room, but what really got me were the views! 20
  • My room was a standard King. The space, layout and furnishings were well thought out and implemented. 9
  • Cactus in room was a nice touch and well appointed decorations, but the beauty of the hotel lies outside the room definitely. 18
  • On this visit, I stayed in a king mountain view room, where modern design meets a calming palette of gray-green tones accented with leather and marble. 17
  • At 650 square feet, the Palm Suite felt noticeably more spacious than a standard room, and for a family of four, that extra space matters. Although the Palm Suite is technically one large open layout rather than a true one-bedroom with a closing door, the design works well. 7
Value14 mentions
  • We paid about $350 per night, and with Hyatt Globalist status, we received free breakfast, late checkout, and a room upgrade. Compared to other similar Scottsdale properties charging over $500 per night that same week, this felt like excellent value. 6
  • With award redemptions at the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale, a gorgeous property with fantastic service and plentiful amenities, starting at 21,000 points per night, a stay here is a no-brainer. You really can't beat the price for this experience. 17
  • The renovation, which the press releases tell us cost 115 MILLION dollars, has been beautifully executed. 12
  • The hotel has a $50 per night "resort fee" and ALSO charges for parking which I find a bit excessive. 12
  • Positive (++) - bar area is wonderful - good live music - great quality of drinks - great food quality (breakfast, pool area) as well as adequate pricing. 8
  • room rates: max I ever paid at the HR was 283$, now it is 600$+ under GH flag. 8
  • After numerous poor experiences and very high rates, we have decided to stay elsewhere in the future. 18
  • During my late March 2023 weekend stay, I faced peak prices at 23,000 points per night for a 1 King Bed room. I'll take that any day over cash rates, which surged to over $600 per night. As such, I bagged a value of 2.6 cents per point - well above our valuations of World of Hyatt points at 1.5 cents apiece. 10
  • - great food quality (breakfast, pool area) as well as adequate pricing. 8
  • Compared to other similar Scottsdale properties charging over $500 per night that same week, this felt like excellent value. That said, the $50 daily resort fee feels like a cash grab-though, to be fair, that's an issue across the entire industry, not just this property. 6
  • It is very expensive in the good weather, and moderately expensive in the summer (HOT). 18
  • The prices (resort fees and parking aside) are very reasonable for the area and I felt the value for money was very good. 12
  • Jess splurged one night at Richard Blais's La Zozzona. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Also yes. 14
  • While rental equipment is available, it's kind of pricey, so I'd recommend bringing your own racquet and can of balls. 11
Noise5 mentions
  • The rooms are average and a vast majority face a parking lot, the very busy and noisy front entrance, or the very noisy courtyard. 18
  • Soundproofing in general isn't great; we could hear hallway chatter and doors slamming more than we'd like. 14
  • While the public areas are beautiful, most guest rooms face non-descript areas such as a parking lot or the very busy front entrance. Many rooms also face very noisy areas. 18
  • Afterwards, event attendees kept partying until almost midnight. It took almost the whole stay before I realized that the beautiful natural stone lobby/bar area might actually be a serious noise issue. It's all hard surface. 8
  • The Hyatt really comes to life at night with live music and lots of adults mingling. It can be a bit loud for littles ones. On the flip side, if that's your jam, stay up and enjoy! 11
View2 mentions
  • When I got to my room (a healthy hike) it was quite nice with a view overlooking a large lagoon and condos on the opposite side. 18
  • The mountain view rooms are particularly in demand due to the dramatic views of the McDowell Mountains. 5
Bed & Sleep4 mentions
  • The bed was incredibly comfortable, and while no welcome gifts were given, we were offered a prickly pear margarita upon arrival. 21
  • I have a sensitive back and woke up each morning very stiff. I would say their mattresses are not the most comfortable that I've slept on, but for someone not prone to back stiffness, it would probably be fine. 9
  • Still, it also draws in golfers or anyone who wants to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. Although the rooms were outdated, you won't (and shouldn't) be spending much time there besides to sleep. 10
  • The bed, which the hotel touts as a "plush Hyatt Grand Bed," truly delivered comfort. I enjoyed a restful sleep without fully sinking into the mattress, and the pillows felt just as luxurious. 10
