How are their reviews over on the Hyatt forum?

Both of them are stumbling distant away from the Old Town Scottsdale Touristica and Bar District.

The Hyatt House was remodeled after the Hyatt Place was built, so some of the furnishings may be newer and fresher than the Hyatt Place. Otherwise, both are value for money (or rather, points), but during Spring Training, they will be packed with SF Giants fans here for the games.

We are going to PHX in June, spending two nights. I'm looking for a swanky resort in a natural setting, i.e. not the city. There will be three adults. We need two rooms or a suite with a separate bedroom and a sofa bed. I have a total budget of $2000 for the stay (both rooms/both nights). Any recommendations?

Pre merger, I stayed at the Phoenician in Scottsdale in June or July (I forget which month or even the year). With status I was upgraded to a monster suite that could have handled our company meeting it was so large. There was lots of drinking so memory is a little foggy, but what I do remember is that it was a great property with good food and service.

Phoenix is pretty hot during the summer, and occupancy levels can be low. June should be at least 50% cheaper than the winter.

We stayed at The Boulders in 2019, which I thought was pretty nice. Its in the desert a bit, and has nice scenery. They have casitas and such.

We-Ka-Po Casino Resort is out in the desert.
The Fairmont Princess Scottsdale used to be out in the desert.
Royal Palms feels like it is out in the desert.
The Boulders up in Carefree also feels like it is out in the desert.
The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch has the sort of rooms you are describing.
The McCormick also has similar room arrangements at a lower price point.

The JW Camelback Inn would work well. It's in the Paradise Valley part of Scottsdale and it feels like the desert but you're also close enough to restaurants and activities in case you want to go off property. I had a nice enough stay there last May.
