Scottsdale
There’s something legendary about the lush yet understated Sonoran Desert and its lofty cacti standing on the backdrop of dramatic mountain peaks. The sheer size of the horizon-to-horizon blue sky is an homage to Scottsdale’s extravagance. While the desert may be a place of stillness and reflection, Scottsdale is a vibrant city with the finest dining experiences and unique attractions for everyone.
