Rebrand plans include $110 million
transformative renovation to hotel’s guestrooms and public areas,
as well as an expansion of meeting and event space
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the planned
rebranding of Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey
Ranch to Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort & Spa in late 2024,
which will mark the first Grand Hyatt hotel in Arizona. The hotel’s
ownership group, Xenia Hotels and Resorts, plans to invest
approximately $110 million to fully transform the property into a
Grand Hyatt hotel, creating a bold, vibrant and elevated experience
for guests. The resort will undergo extensive renovations and
enhancements of its guestrooms; pools; food and beverage outlets;
well-known Spa Avania and Fitness center; and key public areas and
amenities, including the expansion of the hotel’s indoor and
outdoor meeting and event spaces.
Renovation of Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at
Gainey Ranch is expected to begin in early summer 2023 in a phased
approach with an anticipated completion in late 2024. The hotel
will remain in operation during the renovation process – minimizing
impact to the guest experience as much as possible.
“Hyatt continues to prioritize our brands in key leisure
destinations that matter most to our guests, World of Hyatt members
and customers," said Pete Sears, Americas group president, Hyatt.
“The planned renovation of Hyatt Regency Scottsdale will be truly
remarkable, and we are excited to introduce the Grand Hyatt brand’s
inspiring and immersive experiences to Arizona. We are grateful for
Xenia’s continued investment in this special hotel.”
Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort & Spa will offer guests
unparalleled service and spectacular experiences surrounded by the
majestic McDowell Mountains, celebrating the best of what the
destination has to offer. Reflecting all that is grand in locales
around the globe, including Beijing, Dubai and Istanbul, Grand
Hyatt hotels connect guests to the most iconic experiences,
landmarks and cultural touchstones of their destination, in
spectacular fashion. With their awe-inspiring architecture, smart,
sophisticated design, and superior service and amenities to match,
Grand Hyatt hotels deliver a luxury travel experience beyond all
expectation.
The 27-acre resort is ideally situated in the heart of one of
Scottsdale’s most prestigious areas, offering one of the most
exciting 2.5-acre water playgrounds in Arizona and top-rated golf
courses in the southwest with an array of activities to enjoy and
experience. The property recently completed enhancements to the
grand entryway, which now features a one-of-a-kind sculptural
installation, designed and created by artist and architect Paolo
Soleri. Additionally, guests can enjoy the beauty of the Sonoran
landscape at the new Desert Garden event venue, available for
weddings, meetings and social activities.
