For most of the last decade, the Lincoln Drive stretch between Tatum and Scottsdale Road ran on a fixed rotation. Sanctuary for a birthday. El Chorro for the sticky buns and a Sunday brunch on the patio. Camelback Inn for out-of-town guests. Mountain Shadows when Hearth '61 had a table. The lineup was stable enough that most residents could recite it without looking.
That lineup quietly reset in January. The old Scottsdale Plaza Resort, which had been a fixture since the 1970s and had drifted for years, reopened as the Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas after a $42 million reimagining. It is the first branded IHG luxury and lifestyle property in the Paradise Valley/Scottsdale market, and it changes what the corridor looks like on a Tuesday night.
The 40 Acres Between Chaparral And Indian Bend
The property sits on 40 acres between Camelback and Mummy mountains, minutes from Old Town.
