Top Things to Do Near the W Scottsdale
There’s something about Scottsdale that just gets under your skin in the best way. Maybe it’s the sunshine that feels like a soft wake-up call, or the way everyone somehow looks like they’ve perfected the art of relaxed luxury. If you're staying at the W Scottsdale, or you’re just popping by for the vibe, you don’t really “plan” a schedule here. You float into one.
Still, a little direction never hurt anyone. And if you want that sweet mix of calm moments, fun detours, and the kind of experiences that make you wonder why you’ve been settling for less in your everyday life, this is your guide.
Fuel up at New Wave Market
Start with breakfast at New Wave Market. This little spot feels like the kind of place where time slows down just enough for your shoulders to drop. Think pastries that taste like a reward and coffee that doesn’t need to announce itself, it simply works. You can sit outside, people-watch, and try to guess which group is headed to a pool party and which is here for a wellness weekend. Spoiler: sometimes it’s both.
Get an Aescape Massage at W Scottsdale
You know how some things don’t really make sense until you experience them yourself? That’s Aescape.
It’s a solo, AI-powered massage that lets you stay completely in control — you set the pressure, the pace, and the focus areas. The system learns your body in real time, adjusting as you go so you can actually relax instead of wishing for a different kind of pressure or movement.
And since it’s located right inside the W Scottsdale, it fits perfectly with that effortless “I take care of myself” energy this city gives off.
Private, self-guided, and genuinely calming — it’s the kind of reset that quietly becomes part of your routine before you even realize it.
Wander Old Town and pretend you live here
Old Town Scottsdale was built for easy strolling. Boutiques that feel curated, not forced. Vintage finds, local art, pieces you buy because they spark something, not because you need another thing in your carry-on. Move slowly. Try on sunglasses you don’t need. Stop for iced tea because why not. Scottsdale rewards the people who don’t rush.
Whichever choices you choose to go with, you will surely enjoy your stay at @ Scottsdale.
