HOTEL SOLAYA, PART OF JDV BY HYATT, Scottsdale

Hotel Solaya is situated in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, placing guests within a 5-15 minute walk of dozens of dining and nightlife options including La Senora, Cien Agaves, and Rusty Spur Saloon. Scottsdale Stadium is also walkable, making it convenient for spring training. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is 12 km away, and major attractions like Desert Botanical Gardens and Phoenix Zoo are each 7 km from the property. The immediate area is a mix of lively streets and a quiet residential park, but road noise from Indian School Road can reach some rooms. The property is within a safe neighbourhood and is well-suited for exploring on foot or by short rideshare.

Rooms are available as spacious double rooms, suites with separate living areas, and family rooms. Each room includes a private bathroom with bath or shower and hairdryer, plus a flat-screen TV with streaming capability (Roku-based; personal logins required). Some rooms offer pool views or extended patios. The property comprises five interconnected buildings, with rooms accessible by stairs or lift. Room lighting is limited to floor and bedside lamps. A mini-fridge and tea/coffee maker are standard; microwaves and phones are not provided. The overall style is basic and older, with some cosmetic wear, but rooms are generally clean and comfortable for short stays.

The restaurant, Ella in the Park, offers American cuisine for dinner and cocktail hour. The Lobby Bar serves breakfast and lunch in a modern, family-friendly setting. The pool bar at The Pool at Hotel Solaya (open seasonally February through October) provides food and drinks, often with live music and a lively weekend atmosphere. A coffee house on site serves coffee and grab-and-go items. Breakfast availability depends on the selected rate; select dates to confirm. A number of restaurants, including Cien Agaves, Jewel of the Crown, and Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor, are within a 5-10 minute walk.

The main pool is larger and geared toward a younger, social crowd, often featuring DJs and live music on weekends. A second, quieter pool (the circle pool) offers a more relaxed atmosphere for families or those seeking calm. Both pools are heated seasonally-confirm current conditions, as unheated periods have occurred. The spa includes massage services and a sauna. The fitness centre is open 24 hours and well-appointed. Yoga classes and a hot tub/Jacuzzi are available. Sun loungers and beach umbrellas are provided poolside. Activities such as happy hour, golf (within 3 km), and tours about local culture are available.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property and is generally reliable, though intermittent outages have been noted. On-site parking is available for US$30 per day and cannot be reserved.
