Fairmont Scottsdale Completes Guestroom Renovation
The Fairmont Scottsdale has completed a renovation of its 461 guestrooms and suites, part of a more than $30 million transformation of the resort that began in late 2007. The new design reflects the contemporary style of the new Southwest, featuring a palette inspired by the Sonoran Desert mountains and cacti, with soft greens, intense blues and creamy neutrals. The new furnishings are largely constructed of natural materials such as woven leathers and wools, oil-rubbed bronze metals, and woods including teak and walnut. Guestrooms also received flat-screen TVs, iHome audio systems, upholstered headboards, separate seating areas, executive desks with high-speed Internet access, and contemporary photography and artwork that reflect the area’s natural surroundings. Most guestrooms include a built-in wet bar. Guest bathrooms, which feature soaking tubs and separate glass-enclosed showers, have been updated to include a new granite vanity top with dual sinks and low-water-use plumbing fixtures.

As part of Fairmont's Green Partnership, guests have the option of daily linen service, and each guestroom offers woven recycling baskets for paper, plastic and aluminum recycling. The new bathroom fixtures incorporate water-saving measures, and lighting throughout the guestrooms includes energy-saving CFLs. Each room also features a private balcony or patio with cushioned seating. In addition, the Fairmont Scottsdale has added Bourbon Steak, a contemporary American steakhouse by Chef Michael Mina, and the Stone Rose Lounge, an indoor/outdoor bar and lounge by nightlife entrepreneurs Rande Gerber and Scott Gerber.
