This Desert City Is One of the Most Gorgeous in the Southwest-With Midcentury Art, Western Charm, and Mountain Views
"Set between Camelback Mountain and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Scottsdale is shaped by its desert backdrop, a growing arts community, and an ever-evolving dining scene. The city, officially nicknamed "The West's Most Western Town," mixes its heritage with design-forward hospitality spaces, accessible trails, and architecture that draws visitors far beyond the party circuit that it's known for. All this, coupled with the city's hundreds of miles of hiking paths, design-focused attractions, and a steady calendar of art, food, and wine festivals,"
"Readers regularly recognize properties such as Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale, and Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows in Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards. And while Scottsdale spans several distinct neighborhoods, most first-time visitors start in Old Town, home to the midcentury Hotel Valley Ho, the walkable Arts District, and restaurants like FnB and The Mission. For arts and architecture lovers, the city also claims Taliesin West, a UNESCO World Heritage Site,"
