Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa Unveil $115M Rebrand
Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch is undergoing a $115 million rebranding and renovation project and is anticipated to reopen as Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort later this year.
A phased full property renovation is under way and the revamped resort is anticipated to open in early October, complete with six dining experiences in partnership with celebrity chef Richard Blais, expanded pool and cabana offerings, a refreshed Spa Avania, and expanded group meeting space capabilities.
The resort’s new design has been executed by international architectural firm, WATG, and Phoenix-based firm, Hale Collective. The property will comprise 496 guest accommodations, including 18 luxury Casitas and the two-story Gainey House, which features a private entrance and driveway, private patio and barbeque, and pool views.
Every guest room on property features a multi-purpose living space, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a private balcony or patio. They are also equipped with a kitchenette and dual bathrooms with views of the resort’s pool and surrounding golf course.
In early September, the refreshed Spa Avania will be introduced, offering new treatments including Cryo Sculpt Facials, Desert Essence Wraps, and CBD Trigger Point Therapy Massage. The spa comprises 19 treatment rooms, including garden and couple-friendly options, a Himalayan Salt Room, state-of-the-art exercise facilities and various therapeutic amenities.
The following month, the resort will debut four new food and beverage concepts – modern Italian chophouse La Zozzona; global small plates concept Tiki Taka; Southwestern grill Mesa Centrale; and lobby bar Grand Vista Lounge.
The property has already introduced two new poolside concepts – Sandbar and H2Oasis. The restaurants are spearheaded by 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 renowned 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.
