    Great views, great drinks, and an unbeatable vibe--this place really lives up to the hype. Whether you're catching sunset or heading out for a night with friends, the atmosphere feels lively without being overwhelming. The drink menu is solid, with well-made cocktails and plenty of options to choose from. Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall energy makes it a spot you'll want to come back to. Definitely one of those places that feels like the place to be in the city.

    Wow, to say they live up to the hype is an inderstatement. I had the pleasure of staying the weekend here and I have so many positive things to say. From check in to the welcome cocktail, to the chocolates that are hand delivered each day...the attention to detail is unmatched. I had a facial and a massage at the spa, and Dawn gave me the best deep tissue massage I have ever recieved in my entire life. The drinks poolside at The Pink Dolphin were refreshing & well made. The staff was friendly & even accomadated swtiching out Mezcal for a different tequila in one of their drinks and it came out incredible. And the dinner at upstairs at Thea is truly incredible. Every single appertizer, entree, and dessert was delicious! I wish I lived local because I would be here much more often. Treat yourself to ANY of the things I mentioned & I promise you wont regret it.

    Upscale trendy hotel in Phoenix! We ate at the lobby bar. Small bites and a few entrees to choose from. I tried their spritz, but it was too sweet for me, so we sent back our drinks and got a bottle of sparkling rose from Argentina. Soooo good! The seafood plateau and the truffle fries were on point. This place definitely is a place to be seen at.

    I have now come to the spa two weekends in a row for different occasions. This was by far one of the top spas I've ever been to. The services, including a facial and massage were great, the amenities, and they have a fully stocked refrigerator and freezer of food, ice cream, and beverages. I am also freshly postpartum and they were very accommodating for pumping. Thank you!

    The Global Ambassador is just top notch!! I haven't stayed at the hotel yet, but I have enjoyed so many other experiences they have to offer!! Fabulous restaurants and meeting friends for coffee, lunch and drinks. Fun holiday pop-ups for drinks and throughout the hotel. Live music and a great gift shop!!

    the blurriest photo ever of the lobby

    We came in last night on a whim, following a gala. We didn't have a reservation so could only be sat in the lobby, which was great. The cocktail menu was good - we liked the watermelon aperol spritz and espresso martini, but they also had wines and beers if that's more your speed. Service was fast despite how busy they were and the dress code varied from jeans to very fancy. A little steep on prices, still very worth the trip. Gorgeous building!

    Spicy tuna rice
    Ryley S.

    The food at Thea was to die for... I got an espresso martini (so good, strong but good), we started with the spicy tuna rice.. 10/10. We also shared the steak skewers, the spanakopita, and the prosciutto flatbread... Everything was so delicious, the steak was amazing, very smooth and easy to cut. The spanakopita was 10/10, first time trying it and the sauce to dip was so good. Then the flatbread was also to die for. Would definitely come back to try everything on the menu.

    Espresso martini and Greek prince

    10/10 drinks we didn't eat this time but would for sure come back and def get food it smelled incredible The espresso martinis are the best I've had so far in Phoenix Vibes were amazing and best views of the sunset

    My new favorite spot in town Jarick helped me at the bar and made all of my drinks to perfection with lovely conversation and insight about the area. Caroline made me the best mimosa I have had outside my club with just a whisper of orange juice I was here last night for dinner and had to come back! Highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone who likes good food, ambiance, and great ambiance.

    the intentional design & elevated ambiance can't be beat. from the spacious lobby for drinks wit friends or coffee while working to the gorgeous rooftop view of camelback mountain. in additional to thea - rooftop restaurant - you can walk-in & grab a drink at the rooftop bar. gorgeous view (not west facing so you don't get the full senset but it's still stunning!) with amazing drinks. pricey, but worth it!

    Desiree F.

    Popped into the Lobby Bar to celebrate my birthday with a cocktail. The views are lovely. The people watching is fun. The prices are typical and the drinks are...good. Plans for a rooftop return.

    Sarah L.

    The views were GORGEOUS during sunset. We stopped by the rooftop bar area and ordered directly from the bar. Drinks were solid - I enjoyed the espresso martini. I didn't mind standing but I'd advise making reservations if you plan to dine in.

    Taylor W.

    Stopped in for a drinks with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. The rooftop is a restaurant (Thea), which is a gorgeous indoor outdoor concept. There's also a rooftop bar available to the public to order drinks and hang out. Seating is limited if you're not dining at the restaraunt, but plenty of standing room and a perfect spot for a photo op. The hotel is stunning and we will be back to visit the restaurant.

The hotel is inspired by the colorful and folk art influenced works of renowned mid-century modern architect and designer Alexander "Sandro" Girard. The hotel's bio says he was the main source of inspiration for the design of the Andaz Scottsdale. The property is beautiful to walk around, with all the landscaping, flowers and trees; some of them are marked with what kind of plant they are. There are century plants and aloe and various cacti. The fitness center is located at the spa. It has windows which open up onto the pool, which is a more private pool than the main pool. The staff is outstanding. Savannah, who ran the front desk on my most recent visit, is absolutely amazing and really helped with any questions or small issues with my stay. The restaurant is wonderful for the hotel breakfast. I recommend having cocktails there too. You can see a beautiful sunset from the bar. I love the open design of this hotel resort because it makes you feel like you're in the countryside and you can admire the beautiful views of Camelback as you walk around the grounds and hear birds chirping. It's so relaxing. Parking is easy and you can usually find a spot right outside your casita room as the parking circles the hotel. Toiletries in the room smell so good! Lavender with sea salt. It's really like staying in a spa! One of my favorite experiences at this hotel was taking a late afternoon outdoor class at the spa/gym on the large lawn where we did stretching/light resistance training with the the sunset behind Camelback Mountain as the backdrop. It was glorious. I definitely recommend trying one of the classes or "experiences" if you stay here. Some of them you have to pay extra for, but a few of them are included with your room rate. At first glance the hotel interiors and architecture seem extremely simple and minimal, but then you realize it's actually all a piece of mid-century modern inspired art. It's really fun to walk around and admire all the understated design details at this hotel.

Here for our son's birthday, brought 2 of his friends and needed to pay $50.00 for an additional wristband as each reservation allows for 4. 2. Poolside chairs, mostly reserved for an additional charge. We inquired for 2 chairs as it's 2:00pm and service closes at 5:00pm. $175.00/chair with an additional $30.00/chair reservation fee's. We opted not to do this and am hoping to find available 'free' chairs provided with the resort fee. 3. Ice cream is another issue, 3 cups of Dippy Dots (picture attached) was $38.00, not including tip. It's a nice hotel but the cost to be at the hotel once you arrive is crazy... consider this before booking, I haven't ordered the prerequisite chicken fingers yet that come with every hotel stay.

We checked in with our pass and found some seats near the hot tub. The kids went straight to the slides and I went to hot tub. It was nice but kind of small especially when the sun started to set it got really busy. The food and drinks are outrageously priced as you might expect at a resort.

I told her it was wrong and she said it wasn't that the first time she had only charged me for 2 beers and this was my third beer. I did not want to argue so I left it at that but I couldn't sleep thinking about it. I mean dang I even tipped her good. The next day I reached out. To management I don't mind taking care of my servers and I'm always a good tipper. But I don't like being taken advantage of because they think I had a few drinks. Or they think I won't notice extra things. This is not okay. The hotel you check into is supposed to be a safe place like home to enjoy a drink or two. The management offered to refund the first bill of 52.18. But I told him I just wanted what I was over charged refunded plus my tips. At this point I feel she had the chance to correct my bill and make things right but she chose to make me feel like I was in the wrong. After the manager added my first bill up after I told him what I had ordered it turns out she charged 4 beers the first time and not just my 3 and way over charged me the second time. This is a great place to stay but keep an eye on what you order. More so late at night. Also my hot wings were cold in the center but I didn't even mention it to her at the time.

I arrived at noon on a Friday after driving in from Las Vegas, and Dylan at the front desk set the tone immediately. Before I could even ask, he let me know there were no suite upgrades available but offered me a King Premium and got me checked in on the spot. As a solo traveler who had just made that drive, being able to walk straight to a room and crash was everything. He took a few minutes to catch me up on what had changed since my last stay; the breakfast situation being the highlight of that conversation, which turned out to be... relevant. The next morning, after a rough experience at breakfast, I mentioned something at the front desk and Donna, the front-end manager, stepped in immediately, not defensively, but genuinely wanting to understand what happened and make it right. That kind of accountability is rare. Saturday night brought a similar hiccup at the bar, and Sayan handled it the same way: professionally, without hesitation. The room was exactly what I've come to expect from Kimpton, clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. But the real story here is the staff outside the restaurant.
