The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort at Gainey Ranch enjoys a truly spectacular setting. Set against the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains, the resort is nestled on 560 acres filled with shimmering pools, trickling fountains, and cascading waterfalls. Neutral tones and regional furnishings create serene havens in the rooms and suites. This is a desert playground for the whole family, with exceptional recreational facilities for a number of activities such as tennis, biking, and jogging. The resort is committed to preserving the integrity of its home, from the innovative environmental conservation techniques to the cultural programming on the Southwest’s indigenous people. A wide variety of restaurants take guests on a culinary journey, and in the case of Ristorante Sandolo, a gondola ride. Diners can feast on Northern Italian specialties, continental cuisine, and Southwestern dishes in refined or casual settings.
