If You’re Staying At The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

Where To Go When You’re At The Princess

Scottsdale is a resort town with many options and it’s hard to decide what to do and where to go.  This page is dedicated just to people staying at the Scottsdale Fairmont Princess Resort.  All these recommendations are within 4 miles of the hotel if not closer.

An Insider’s Guide 

While resorts have great concierge services, sometimes it’s nice to discover some things on your own so this page is for you.  For the most part these recommendations are all for locally owned businesses as we here at DIG want our local companies to thrive!

Late Night

Looking for bars open after midnight?  There are three great nearby bars that are open til 2a every night. There’s also a newly opened place at Scottdale Road and Chauncey called Chauncey Social that’s a restaurant nightclub open til 2a on weekends.

• Arena Sports Grill
• Juan Jamie’s
• Mellow Mushroom

Nearby Sports Bar

If you’re looking for a sports bar your best bet is Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers – tell Uber to take you to the one at Scottsdale and Chauncey but if you that’s not your speed, try Arena Sports Bar.

• Kierland Commons
