Conveniently located in central Scottsdale,Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort is a luxury family-friendly resort with a beach sand swimming pool, 3-story water slide, rock climbing wall, complimentary bike rentals, tennis & pickleball courts, world-class golf, and plentiful amenities that the whole family will appreciate.
Because of its proximity to Tucson (a short 2-hour drive!), Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort is an ideal year-round staycation spot. The appeal is magnified in 2025 because the resort just completed a $115 million renovation and rebrand (the resort was previously Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch). Come along with us for a grand tour of Arizona's first Grand Hyatt resort.
Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, with your kids, or part of a business group, there are a number of different guestroom, suite, and casita configurations to fit your needs.
All of the resort’s 496 guest rooms, suites, and casitas were updated in the recent renovation, which means that you'll experience refreshed decor, lighting, and amenities property-wide. Every guest room, regardless of room category, features a balcony or patio so that you can soak in the famous Arizona sunshine during your visit.
Casitas are an especially great option for traveling families. These spacious miniature "homes" are situated right on the water's edge and are equipped with full kitchens for your convenience.
