The 11 Best Hotels in Phoenix and Scottsdale

"While Scottsdale is best known for its sprawling resorts, Senna House is doing its own thing as a compact urban hotel. During the day you’ll find locals and business travelers taking meetings in the lobby, airline crews jumping into shuttles, and vacationers catching some sun and a swim on the second-floor rooftop pool, Sonora Swim Club, overlooking town and Camelback Mountain. Glam ground-floor restaurant Cala has been a hotspot since it opened in early 2022, so expect a steady stream of locals both day and night, and big crowds on weekends. The property is about as centrally located as it gets, in the heart of Scottsdale's Entertainment District. From here, you're walkable to dozens more bars and restaurants." - Lizbeth Scordo
