Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States · Andaz · Core Luxury
Andaz Scottsdale occupies the 1982 Cottonwoods Resort a mile from the Cattle Track Arts Compound, an artists' community founded in the 1920s near Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West that has shaped the region's design culture ever since. When EDG Interior Architecture and Design reimagined the property for its December 2016 Andaz debut, it folded Cattle Track's artists into the project from the start, with their work appearing on room keys, in the restaurant and throughout all 201 rooms across 34 bungalow clusters.

About Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows
- The resort runs an active artists-in-residence program tied to Cattle Track, and its gift shop was renamed Textiles and Objects to sell the artists' work directly.
- Two hundred one rooms sit across 34 bungalow clusters on 23 acres below Camelback Mountain, with three pools rather than a single resort basin.
- Weft & Warp Art Bar + Kitchen, the open-kitchen dining room, opened with the house in December 2016.
History
The 23-acre property that Andaz Scottsdale occupies at 6114 North Scottsdale Road, tucked below Camelback Mountain in the shadow of the McDowell Range, was developed in 1982 as the Cottonwoods Resort — a low-rise desert property calibrated to the emerging luxury market of the Paradise Valley corridor. The site carries a particular mid-century design lineage: the neighborhood around it had been shaped from the 1920s onward by the Cattle Track Arts Compound, an artists' community established roughly a mile away that became a decades-long incubator for the regional art and craft culture that now defines Scottsdale's design identity. Frank Lloyd Wright lived and worked nearby at Taliesin West, and the entire area functions as a kind of living argument for the compatibility of modernism and desert terrain.
The Cottonwoods Resort operated for more than three decades before Hyatt acquired the property and undertook a thorough reimagining, opening as Andaz Scottsdale in December 2016. The design team, led by EDG Interior Architecture and Design, treated the existing low-rise bungalow clusters as an asset rather than a liability, rethinking them as an artists' compound rather than a conventional resort. The Cattle Track artist community was folded into the project from the beginning — its members' work appears on room-key holders, in the lobby and restaurant, in every guest room, and in the gift shop, renamed Textiles and Objects. The 201 rooms and suites are distributed across 34 bungalow clusters over the 23 acres, a layout that gives the resort the feel of an inhabited compound rather than a hotel campus.
Three pools, a spa, an open-kitchen restaurant, and a poolside bar serve the property's physical pleasures, while the artists-in-residence program and the gallery-level engagement with Cattle Track serve something harder to quantify — the suggestion that a resort hotel can be genuinely embedded in its local creative culture rather than merely decorating with it. AAA Four Diamond recognition marks the current chapter of a property whose site has been shaped by the desert and the artists who chose to live beside it for nearly a century.
The setting
Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows occupies 23 secluded acres along North Scottsdale Road, two miles north of Old Town at the foot of Camelback Mountain's northern slopes. The address sits in Scottsdale's mid-corridor hotel strip, favored for its balance of accessibility and desert seclusion. McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is 11 minutes by transit, while the Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West is reachable in 17 minutes. The resort's bungalow-and-casita format draws on Sonoran Desert vernacular, offering genuine open-sky privacy without the remoteness of far-north Scottsdale — a rare urban-resort hybrid suited to the Andaz brand's commitment to design-led, neighborhood-immersive luxury.
