Lots to do this fall in Scottsdale, Arizona

Scottsdale is ready to wine and dine visitors preparing to make the trek to the Southwest this fall with these upcoming culinary events.

Kicking off the festivities is Arizona Restaurant Week, debuting Sept. 20-26. The event gives patrons the chance to experience Arizona’s finest fare at a variety of quality restaurants for a special rate. Nearly 100 restaurants, including some of Scottsdale’s best such as Digestif, Sol y Sombra, Roka Akor, Olive & Ivy, and Taggia, will offer a three-course menu for $29 per person or $58 per couple, excluding drinks, tax and tip. .

On Oct. 7 and 8, travelers can savor fresh, straight-from-the-farm food at the latest installment of Tapino Kitchen & Wine Bar’s dinner series, Locavore 4: Cultivation. Locavore is a term used to describe a person who only eats locally produced food, and every bite and sip of Tapino’s five-course dinner will come from an Arizona farmer, food producer, rancher or wine maker. For $65 a person, diners experience Chef James Porter’s globally-inspired creations while supporting local businesses. Locavore 5: The Hearth, will take place Dec. 1 and 2.

Savor Scottsdale, a group dedicated to increasing local pride and national recognition for the city’s culinary scene, is adding to the fall festivities with EATS³ Oct. 23-25. The event focuses on the three S’s – sizzle, sip and swizzle – and will showcase Scottsdale’s finest with a cocktail-infused ArtWalk, exclusive in-gallery dinners by famed Scottsdale chefs, a national Iron Bartender competition, a Grand Tasting featuring the finest chefs and wine makers, and the signature BBQ & Bubbles Finale. Among the event’s slated 40 chefs and special guests are Emmy award-winning Chef Ming Tsai and winner of Bravo’s Top Chef, Stephanie Izard. Arizona chefs will include James Beard award winners Nobuo Fukuda, Chris Bianco and Robert McGrath, and Iron Chef winning chefs Beau MacMillan and Mark Tarbell. Patrons may purchase tickets to individual events or buy the $500 Ultimate Savor Scottsdale Pass.

VISITORS EXPLORE THEIR ARTISTIC SIDE WITH NEW PUBLIC EXHIBITS
Since its inception in 1985, the Scottsdale Public Art Program has worked to bring new and creative artwork to the streets. The downtown area will soon be home to three new interactive exhibits that will allow visitors to take part in Scottsdale’s unique arts community.

Art lovers can enjoy beautiful fall evenings by taking a stroll downtown and experiencing a stunning light show at the Scottsdale Waterfront. Beginning in October, the collection’s new Night Lights exhibit, a premier music and interactive, light-based art installation, will be on display. Launching the attraction will be Tucson artist Mary Lucking whose light installation will grace the Waterfront every third Thursday from October through December, using the water of the nearby Arizona Canal as a canvas. Visitors can give the light show their own artistic touch by speaking into a microphone set up at the exhibit, which then triggers and changes the patterns projected onto the water.

A second all-new piece, Bell’e Art, will transform the bell tower adjacent to the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts into an outdoor gallery. The first exhibition, on view Sept. 8 through Dec. 3, will feature New York-based artist Béatrice Coron’s series of papercuts inspired by Scottsdale landmarks, lifestyle, history and more. Coron’s piece will feature 24 iconic Scottsdale scenes hand cut on black and white Tyvek, a lightweight waterproof paper, suspended from the top of the tower. Each cutout image will serve as a window that invites passersby to peek through, invoking memories and dreams of Scottsdale and the Southwest. Visitors inspired by Coron’s piece will have the chance to create their own works of art when she hosts a workshop, Sharp Arts: The International Papercutting Scene, at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library on Nov. 1.

Crocheters get out your hooks and take part in Scottsdale Public Art’s crocheted exhibit at the Civic Center Library. In April 2009, the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project, a globally touring exhibit of a crocheted coral reef ecosystem, will be on display at the library before heading to its next stop at the Smithsonian. The 2,000-square-foot reef has already made its rounds from London to Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Visitors eager to learn the art of crocheting can take part in organized workshops.

GOLF INITIATIVES PRESERVE NATURAL SONORAN DESERT SURROUNDINGS
Golf operators in Scottsdale are making strides to preserve the city’s Sonoran Desert surroundings through modern technology, innovative practices and a commitment to environmental stewardship. The golf industry’s efforts not only ensure a protected environment for generations of future visitors, but also help put Scottsdale on the forefront of eco-friendly golf destinations.

Water Use – Because Scottsdale is in a desert environment, conservation and efficient use of water is always top-of-mind for the city’s golf industry. Nearly 75 percent of Scottsdale’s golf courses use sophisticated computerized irrigation systems and weather monitoring stations to maximize the efficiency of their water use. These systems apply the minimum amount of water required to maintain the health of individual plants in addition to minimizing evaporation and maximizing transpiration.
Maintenance – Scottsdale golf courses also have modified their regular maintenance practices to increase the sustainability of their properties. Efforts include using organic fertilizer rather than petroleum-based fertilizer, switching gas-powered equipment from two-stroke engines to four-stroke in order to reduce emissions, and frequent testing of soil conditions to ensure proper application using the minimum amount of product to ensure the plants’ health.
Environmental Stewards – Scottsdale golf properties like Sanctuary Golf Course at West World, TPC

Scottsdale and Camelback Golf Club continue to look for new eco-friendly opportunities to ensure that golf maintains its overall positive impact on the city and state. The courses have all achieved, or are achieving, certification in the Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary Program, a program that requires golf facilities to protect the Earth by enhancing precious natural areas and wildlife habitats. In addition, Scottsdale-based Troon Golf Management has made the commitment to have its entire portfolio of 190 golf properties worldwide certified through the Audubon initiative.

TURNDOWN IS AN EXPERIENCE WITH SCOTTSDALE’S UNIQUE AMENITIES
Scottsdale’s resorts are committed to providing a luxurious, unforgettable experience for their guests. Beginning at the moment of check-in, guests are welcomed by hospitable service and world-class amenities that extend to the tiniest of details. Even Scottsdale’s turndown programs go above and beyond, greeting guests with more than just folded over sheets and pillow mints. The following is just a sampling of Scottsdale’s unique turndown amenities.

The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North looks to the stars for its turndown amenity that includes a constellation chart calibrated to the Arizona night sky. Every Friday evening, the property plays host to astronomer Richard Allen who leads stargazing sessions using state-of-the-art telescopes and charts. Guests can bring their constellation chart to the free session and navigate the nighttime sky alongside Allen, discovering different celestial bodies like Jupiter, Saturn and Mars depending on the time of year. 

Turndown service at FireSky Resort & Spa relays the property’s theme of earth, air, fire and water to guests with each day of the week corresponding to a particular element. The program is filled with unique turndown items such as Fire Balls candy, organic sweet chocolate, and bottles of bubbles. Each amenity is accompanied by a turndown card tailored to the specific theme. 

Guests at The Boulders Resort can enjoy a mini Golden Door Spa experience at turndown with the resort’s complimentary skin care amenities. Each new day brings a different sample like the Botanical Body Oil, which is a potent remedy for dry, sun-damaged skin, or the lavender cream that promotes the grown of new skin cells and whose scent can be helpful with headaches and nervous tension.

Old West meets new urban chic

Scottsdale tourists once delighted in the rubber-tomahawk culture that prevailed in “the West’s Most Western Town.” These days, visitors are as likely to spring for a turquoise-clay wrap at one of the many spas in this oasis of Southwest sophistication.

Downtown, once epitomized by the hitching post, has forsaken kitsch for chic.

Buildings soar to the relatively skyscraping heights of 13 stories, with exclusive nightclubs, restaurants, and boutique hotels such as the W.

Young, hip tourists seem to like it, but how do the city’s voters feel about it?

Civic leaders – always conscious of their brand – like to describe Scottsdale as the place where “the Old West Meets the New West.” But this convenient marriage is far from harmonious.

Scottsdale’s downtown revitalization has given a great boost to the tourism industry but has left some residents heartbroken at the fast-paced urbanization. A vocal group hopes to halt the transformation with a slate of candidates running in the city’s election on Tuesday.

“This election is hugely important,” said City Councilman Bob Littlefield, who usually ends up on the minority end of controversial development votes. “This election will determine what Scottsdale will look like over the next five to 10 years.”

At the top of the low-growth ticket is activist Tom Giller, who has vowed to oppose nearly any new project that rises above 42 feet – about three stories in height. Close behind is Nan Nesvig. Although less virulent about height limits, Nesvig promises to “listen to residents,” many of whom resent losing their views of Camelback Mountain while fighting late-day traffic jams.

If Giller and Nesvig are elected, they would form a reliable council majority with Littlefield and Councilman Tony Nelssen, the mule-riding, cowboy-hat-wearing enforcer of Scottsdale’s Old West. He protested last year, for example, when city officials quietly removed the “West’s Most Western Town” motto from Scottsdale’s Web site.

The four could become a permanent pain to Mayor Mary Manross, who is expected to prevail over opponent Jim Lane, a city councilman giving up his seat to run against her. Further progress on the city’s glitzy downtown – which the New York Times recently described as “a desert version of Miami’s South Beach” – could be at risk.

“I think it would not bode well for our future if we had a majority of the council feeling that all change and all growth is bad,” Manross said. “What we need is a balance with the old and the new. There’s room in our city for both. People come here from all over the world for a lot of different things.”

Not everyone is thrilled with the “24/7, live-work” downtown that Manross and her council majority have promoted for half a decade.

At election forums, Lane has hammered Manross over the city’s $120 million investment in the high-tech joint venture with Arizona State University called SkySong. The mayor points to her legacy project as a long-term investment in stable, high-paying jobs, but south Scottsdale activists say that a hockey arena or retail stores at the old Los Arcos Mall site would have offered more to residents.

Nelssen said that some longtime tourists and residents find the nightclub scene intimidating.

“A couple (tourists) said they didn’t feel safe on the streets,” he said. “The city has lost its family atmosphere.”

Others say that is nonsense. Manross points to falling crime rates. Tourism leaders are pitching the city to a high-end market less interested in Western knockoffs than spectacular resorts and exotic cocktails.

“I think to some degree this is an election that deals with whether Scottsdale is going to be a progressive community going forward or whether we fall into the trap of nostalgia,” said Rick Kidder, president of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber’s political-action committee has endorsed Manross and incumbents Betty Drake and Ron McCullagh. The group likes businesswoman Suzanne Klapp for the third council seat, while others have supported attorney Lisa Borowsky. Joel BramOweth and Oren Davis round out the candidate list for the three council seats.

Candidates not aligned with Giller and Nesvig are less concerned with fighting the new urbanization than making sure it functions efficiently.

Drake wants a “pedestrian-oriented” downtown where visitors and residents can comfortably walk from one neighborhood to another. Candidates on this ticket want to pull ad-hoc projects, such as the Scottsdale Waterfront and Optima Camelview condominiums, into a coherent whole.

Nobody is willing to give way on the city’s Old Town and Fifth Avenue shopping districts, which they say should remain sacrosanct. But jobs are a high priority, as is the tourism that has kept Scottsdale coffers full while neighboring cities are slashing budgets.

According to Kidder, the tourist today is much more discerning.

“The demographics have changed,” he said. “They’re coming for the nightlife and the resorts. They’re also coming for the Sonoran Desert. There may have been a time when the vast majority of visitors were coming for the ‘West’s Most Western Town’ feel, but I think they are coming for vastly different reasons today. They are a different generation.”

Low-growth advocates have argued that the height and density are disturbing in part because of the “mediocre” quality of design and construction.

Nesvig criticizes the “cart before the horse mentality” that has thrown up buildings before streets, sewers and the city’s infrastructure are ready to handle them.

Nelssen wants “site-specific, climate-sensitive” design that could survive a broken air-conditioning system.

“It would drive a style of true desert architecture,” he said. “That was what brought us all here. It was the quality of life. It was charm. It was character.”

Scottsdale is becoming too much like Tempe, the low-growth ticket complains, and is losing its distinct edge.

“People come from an urban environment to visit a resort that’s unique and Western,” Giller said. “Once you’re in a bar you can be in a bar in Tempe or South Beach or anyplace. . . . We get a lot of people down here but is this really how you want to build your brand?”

W Hotel raises wow factor in Scottsdale

When the W Scottsdale Hotel & Residences opens today, it will bring to Old Town three upscale bars, the Los Angeles-based, style-conscious restaurant Sushi Roku and 224 rooms with buzz-worthy design. But it also will usher in an era of $26 overnight valet parking and $559-a-night hotel rooms.

The swanky international chain is credited with developing the boutique-hotel market, emphasizing a hip, edgy vibe through innovative decor and splashy bars and restaurants. W Hotels are known to elevate the quality of nightlife where they open, and bar and hotel managers throughout Scottsdale have been preparing since Triyar Hospitality LLC broke ground for the W in 2005.

Neighboring Axis/Radius nightclub spent $1.5 million on a remodel in 2006 with the Starwood Hotels & Resorts-run property in mind.

The nearby Mondrian Scottsdale hotel revamped its pool, turning it into a Skybar similar to the one at its sister Los Angeles property, and upgraded Asia de Cuba’s patio to increase the restaurant’s capacity and year-round usage. Randy Smith, who owns the nearby, elegant SIX Lounge, has been working with promoters to elevate SIX’s image and keep the right kind of well-dressed, free-spending clients in his club so it feels right for W guests.

But all this comes at a price. Just as its status elevates the cachet of adjacent clubs and hotels, the W’s high rates are expected to lift prices for other Valley boutique hotels. Resorts have long been charging $500 to $600 a night for non-suites, but they also offer 27-hole golf courses, spas, fitness centers, tennis courts, restaurants, water parks and sprawling, manicured grounds. The W will offer just three bars, a restaurant, pool, fitness center and spa.

Laura McMurchie, vice president of communications at the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the new hotel – with its sand-surrounded second-floor pool, its celebrity-favorite Bliss Spa and its proximity to nightclubs – is well-suited to Scottsdale’s developing image as a hip vacation destination for the image-conscious Generation X traveler. And the W owners believe the market can support Los Angeles-level prices.

“They offer more of that urban, city-center style of property. You know you’re going to have a built-in scene, a built-in nightlife,” she said. “But you’re also going to have . . . all the things you expect from a great hotel. Those prices are something new for this market, but the W has the brand power to command it.”

The seven-story hotel cost more than $100 million to build, and owners pushed back the opening date several times because of delays caused by a lack of construction manpower and a jump in prices of raw materials, according to General Manager Leon Young. But the delays didn’t dampen buzz. More than 6,000 people applied for 300 jobs. Sushi Roku is half-booked for opening night, with large groups and celebrity parties.

“Scottsdale is not only up and coming, it’s also redefining itself,” Young said. “It’s taking more of a sophisticated turn, not being considered a retirement community but a very vibrant city with a lot of culture and art, and the W likes to be on the forefront of that cusp.”

Although many Valley hotels are continuing summer discounts into fall to entice tourists, Young said he’s not worried that the slower economy will hurt his hotel. He’s confident the brand’s cachet and the W’s connections and programs such as the Whatever/Whenever service will be enough to keep the beds and bars full. For example, he says, if a guest is going to a concert, the staff will try to arrange for a backstage pass, an autograph session or other upgrade.

“That’s not something we charge for,” Young said. “It’s about leveraging whatever partnerships we have.”

David Morgan, general manager of the Mondrian Scottsdale, said the new hotel will be good for Valley tourism because guests will expect more with higher rates, pressuring nearby properties to elevate their level of customer service and improve their facilities.

“Scottsdale needed to move in a new direction with rates, and they’re going to help us get to that,” he said.

Morgan said his hotel plans to build a bridge over the pool in advance of its reincarnation as a nightclub. The Mondrian also is upgrading the hotel’s event spaces, all to stay competitive in a market that now has two boldface boutique hotels within walking distance of each other.

The new W hotel features 18 condos and 224 rooms named on a scale from Wonderful to Fabulous. Jeff Low-designed suites are expected to open in October, ranging from Studio to Extreme Wow, the largest coming in at 1,540 square feet.

The design is conspicuously flashy. The porte-cochere is built under the pool, with four round ceiling windows offering a glimpse of swimmers above. Once inside, guests can grab a Blueberry Acai Martini in the Living Room lobby bar, lounging on lavender, faux-reptile skin seating. Or they can get dinner at Sushi Roku, which boasts teak ceilings and floors and a leather-tiled bar anchored by a massive $22,000 chunk of burled wood from Cambodia.

Bar general manager Dominic Scoles said the hotel’s destination bar, Shade, and its pool bar, Sunset Beach, will target a customer attracted to Scottsdale for nightlife fun.

“We’re looking to bring some quality new stuff to downtown Scottsdale and go after that upper-echelon client,” he said. To do that, Scoles will serve Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and Dom Pérignon champagnes by the glass and fresh-fruit mojitos muddled tableside.

“This is going to change the entire dynamic of Old Town,” said Les Corieri of Evening Entertainment Group, which runs Axis/Radius and two adjacent nightspots.

“The amount of people they’re bringing to that area is going to be over the top. . . . I can’t wait.”
