The Scottsdale Resort & Spa, 7700 E. McCormick Parkway, has reached 50% completion on its $40 million property-wide renovation as it gives a first look at the revitalized guest rooms and three new culinary destinations that will begin to open later this month ahead of the completion in January.
Driftwood acquired the legacy conference resort in 2022 and embarked on the largest renovation in the property’s 50-year history. As work progressed, Driftwood made the decision to expand the original scope and budget, plus scale down the room count, in order to elevate, restore and refresh all aspects of the property, making it one of the highest-priced renovations currently underway in the Phoenix-metro area. Upon completion, the now 278-room resort that spans across almost 17 acres will join Curio Collection by Hilton, a global set of remarkable upscale hotels hand-picked for their unique character and personality, each one a part of the city they call home.
One of the most notable aspects of the resort’s transformation is the conversion of The Stillman Building into 12 two-story luxury villas, the first of their kind in the market, with their own private pool with expansive golf course views.
Valley chef Ken Arneson, who serves as the area executive chef for Driftwood Hospitality, is leading The Scottsdale Resort’s culinary evolution with the introduction of Barnaby’s Café, an upscale café and wine bar focused on wellness-oriented cuisine with a holistic approach while highlighting local purveyors and a global wine list; The Madam, a speakeasy harkening the Roaring Twenties offering riffs on classic cocktails alongside modern creations; and La Fogata, the resort’s signature restaurant that embodies the essence of Sonoran fare with locally sourced ingredients, open flame creations and Southwest flavors. Barnaby’s Café and The Madam will be the first to open in early December, followed by La Fogata in late December.
Arneson is partnering with Arizona-based purveyors including Laura's Gourmet Granola, Sonoran Pasta Co., Cutino Sauce Co., Noble Bread, Blue Sky Organic Farms, Simple Soda Co., Roastery of Cave Creek – ROC2 and Frites Street.
