Hotel Overview

In the upscale north end of the valley, the Best Western Plus Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites puts shopping, dining, and desert sun within a couple of blocks in Scottsdale, Arizona, one of the Southwest's most polished addresses.

The location is the draw. The shops and restaurants of Kierland and the Scottsdale Quarter sit just steps away, while Old Town Scottsdale, with its boutiques, galleries, and Western-rooted charm, lies minutes south. Spring training ballparks, golf courses, and the desert trails of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve round out an easy week in the sun.

A boutique feel runs through the suites, with the comforts of a larger resort and personal service at the front desk, and the hotel welcomes pets. After a day in the Arizona sun, the pool and the warm evenings invite a slow wind-down. Between the galleries of Old Town and the desert just beyond, Scottsdale rewards a lingering stay.
