Visiting Scottsdale? 

...There are so many activities to take part in, that a week is never enough to discover all that the “world’s most livable city” has to offer. Our front desk will help guide your way through the valley’s hidden treasures and also the most popular spots. You will be able to walk just about anywhere, and if not you can take advantage of the complimentary car service. The car is a great advantage of Hotel Indigo Scottsdale. When visiting keep in mind that there is so much to do and something for everyone to enjoy: hiking, biking, shows, clubs, and restaurants are just a few.

“I will definitely stay here again and would recommend Hotel Indigo to anyone coming to the Scottsdale area.”  

Feeling routine, looking for something new? Try one of these…

• Learn how to salsa, ballroom dance, swing, and much more at Gainey Dance. Whether you’re taking lessons for a wedding, an amateur wanting to learn, or you’re looking for competition they have dancing for everyone, http://www.gaineydance.com/
• Mesa Golfland SunSplash is a fun place that has both an amusement park and water park. It is a great place to cool off during the hot months and keep your children entertained during the summer. Rafts are available inside the park to enjoy in the wave pool and on various water slides.
• Want a taste of the wild west? Then visit Rawhide at Wild Horse. Have fun in Arizona's largest western theme park. Take part in cookouts, eat at the saloon, take a real-life carriage ride, and shop. When you walk the streets watch out for a real-action shoot-out! This place is fun for the whole family, http://www.rawhide.com/
• Visit the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Downtown Scottsdale. Beautiful art exhibits and various special events for families and adults. There is free admission every Thursday along with free lectures, workshops, poetry readings, and much more on various other days! This is a place where visitors can connect with artists. http://www.scottsdalearts.org/

Happy Saturday! I hope that you are beating the heat and staying cool either indoor or on some activity that involves water. I know personally, that I am going to grab my raft and lay in the water so that I don't fry and burn myself on a lawn chair, as I usually tend to do! ☺ I never sizzled myself on a lawn chair until I moved out to Phoenix, that sort of stuff just doesn't happen in the midwest!

Hotel Indigo Scottsdale recent customer reviews...

"Everyone at the hotel was exceptionally friendly, especially the bar tenders who seemed to be in a perpetual good moods." 

**I completely agree with this comment! Last weekend when I visited Bossa Nova Lounge, the bartenders were dancing, singing, and smiling while bringing guests their beverages. It really made me enjoy the atmosphere and the hotel!
