The Scottsdale Resort And Spa, Curio Collection By Hilton
A renovated Scottsdale resort with golf course and mountain views, soft beds, and compact guest rooms.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
The Scottsdale Resort And Spa provides renovated lodging within easy driving distance of Old Town Scottsdale and Camelback Mountain. Guests enjoy the comfortable beds, friendly valet and front desk service, and fresh food. However, standard rooms can feel cramped at under 340 square feet, and on-site dining at La Fogata and breakfast can be expensive. 57
