W Scottsdale Gets Delayed Until Summer
Seems the opening date for the W Hotel & Residences Scottsdale has been pushed back -- thereby missing the peak travel season.
When they broke ground back in November 2005, the $110 million hotel had hoped to open by early 2007 just in time for Arizona' huge winter tourism season. But the target date has since been pushed back a number of times, and now it appears the opening will coincide not with snowbirds but with sun worshipers.
According to General Manager Leon Wood, W Scottsdale is now slated to open May 27. That's more than a month later than the previous April 18 opening. This is big news because the delayed opening means that W will be banking on visitors willing to fork over big bucks (try $659 to $759/night) to stay and play when temperatures routinely exceed 100 degrees F.
Perhaps with the W's "cool, cool Wet Pool" and the "natural water elements throughout" no one will notice the heat...
