Chaparral Suites Scottsdale
The Chaparral Suites Scottsdale, a three–and–a–half star hotel located just a few blocks north of the city's Fashion Square Mall, is a great choice for couples, families, and business travelers who want to stay close to but not in the center of downtown Scottsdale. The independently owned inn that caters to an international clientele is less than a half hour's drive from PHX.
An all–suites hostelry with 311 guest rooms, the Chaparral Scottsdale outfits its 500 square–foot standard accommodations with separate bedroom and living area with a sleeper sofa, workspace, kitchenette with microwave oven and refrigerator, two televisions with cable channels and pay–per–view movies, telephones with voicemail, free wired and wireless internet access, and a safe. The Chaparral also offers Executive Suites and two levels of VIP suites, the larger of which tops out at 1,100 square feet.
Guests enjoy a complimentary cooked–to–order breakfast every morning, and a reception every evening. The Chaparral's in–house restaurant, The 4th Floor Grille, serves lunch and dinner daily. Adjacent to the Grille is the Sports Bar, serving drinks and light fare, and displaying professional and college sports from 11 a.m. to midnight on 10 state–of–the–art HD television screens. Within walking distance of the hotel or a very short drive, travelers can find restaurants to satisfy every palate. Eateries specializing in Asian and Pacific Rim, Italian and Mediterranean, Mexican, and Southwestern cuisine, as well as wine bars, dance clubs, and lounges dot the neighborhood surrounding the Chaparral Suites.
Travelers and Scottsdale residents alike relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect at the Lamar Day Spa, less than a block away up Scottsdale Road. The Spa offers all the treatments you would expect–sauna and bodywork, scrubs and wraps, facials, manicures and pedicures–but also yoga classes and specialty massages, such as for couples and expecting mothers. The 14,000 square–foot resort–style spa can host groups of 100 or more, and its 1,000 square–foot Palm Room features bamboo floors, relaxing lighting, and French doors leading to a shaded patio and garden with water features and views of Camelback Mountain.
The Chaparral's guests speak highly of the hotel's service–oriented atmosphere. Happy hour runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. daily, and many find the outdoor hot tubs a great way to unwind at the end of an eventful day.
