Things To Do
Old Town Scottsdale
Nestled within nine walkable neighborhoods you’ll find a unique collection of shops, restaurants, art galleries and nightclubs, as well as contemporary public art installations, world-class museums and historic sites from the late 1880s.

Camelback Mountain
The city’s most beloved icon—and a challenging, must-climb destination for hikers. We'd recommend the less-crowded Cholla Trail. Getting there is a 6 minute drive from the Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows. To get there, put in Cholla Trailhead Camelback Mountain in Google Maps and walk up Cholla Lane to the trailhead.
