Scottsdale, Arizona: Where to Eat & Stay in Scottsdale

Scottsdale, AZ… The not-so-hidden gym in the hot Arizona desert. Scottsdale has a little piece of my heart because Jacob and I got engaged AND married there. We’ve visited frequently over the last 10 years and I’ve been able to build up a little dossier of recommendations to share.

Also helps that one of my college roommates lived in Scottsdale for a long time and always so kindly sends me food recs every time I ask. Thanks, Sarah!

There is an endless supply of great restaurants and beautiful hotels with gorgeous pools and cabanas you can perch at for the day. But, below you’ll find all of the stops I recommend if you’re going to Scottsdale soon! Hopefully I’ll return again and will be able to continue adding recommendations.
