The Scott Resort & Spa (Scottsdale Phoenix, Arizona) 3 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Though its setting, just off Scottsdale’s busy main drag, is unmistakably a desert one, the Scott Resort & Spa offers a surprisingly tropical escape. Inspired by Havana as experienced by Ernest Hemingway, the hotel puts a retro spin on all things Cuban. Here, right in the middle of the desert, guests can sip craft cocktails out of pineapples, and order <em>ropa vieja</em> at the hotel’s Cuban-American restaurant. Rooms are decorated with Art Deco and mid-century elements like walnut furniture, brass fixtures, crystal whiskey glasses, and Raffia chandeliers. The sprawling eight-acre grounds are dotted with hammocks, and two pools — one of which features a sandy beach area — make the hotel feel even more like a Caribbean oasis." - Tablet Hotels
