ADERO Scottsdale Resort

Perched above the Sonoran Desert on 17 acres in Fountain Hills, ADERO Scottsdale Resort, Autograph Collection is an AAA Four Diamond property with 177 guest rooms, including 16 oversized suites, each with a private balcony and panoramic views of the McDowell Mountains. It holds a rare distinction as the only Autograph Collection resort in a certified Dark Sky Community, making nightly stargazing a genuine amenity rather than a footnote. The resort sits about 28 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, a roughly 30-minute drive, and is 8 minutes from Mayo Clinic Scottsdale. CIELO, the property’s signature farm-to-table restaurant, anchors the dining program with an outdoor terrace and panoramic windows overlooking the desert, while the SkyTop Lounge serves cocktails and small plates in a rooftop setting.

The resort offers 20,151 square feet of total event space across 10 meeting rooms and multiple indoor and outdoor venues. The Four Peaks Ballroom, the flagship indoor venue, holds up to 350 guests for a reception and 500 in theater setup, with 4,527 square feet at 53 by 84 feet and 14-foot ceilings. The outdoor Four Peaks Lawn spans 5,000 square feet and accommodates group activities, cocktail receptions, and dining under open desert skies. The Red Mountain Lawn provides a more intimate outdoor ceremony option with views of the McDowell Mountains. With six distinct venue spaces covering both indoor and outdoor configurations, the property handles everything from corporate off-sites and board retreats to weddings of up to 350 guests.
