Hyatt Regency Scottsdale at Gainey Ranch
SWA provided full landscape design services for this
486-room resort hotel, which features extensive water
elements including 20,000 square feet of swimming
pools, 28 fountains, 47 waterfalls, a water slide, and a
beach. A series of grand spaces, classic forms, water
playgrounds, and six distinct garden courts contribute
to the creation of a southwestern desert oasis.
Multiple conservation efforts were integrated into
the site, including water features designed in the
Moorish tradition of narrow, shallow canals with low-
volume clear water jets and small gravity spouts that
create a major visual impact using a small volume of
water. Lawn was used only where needed to support
outdoor activities; otherwise all plant materials consist
of drought-tolerant desert species, including the desert
pine forest planting surrounding the parking and court
game areas.
