The Hyatt Place is a purpose-built big glass sore thumb in the classic Hyatt Place tradition (sarcasm!) that sits right on the inside of Drinkwater, literally a stone's throw away, as AZTimm said.
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?

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.

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.
