Hotel Solaya Debuts in Old Town Scottsdale, Joining JdV by Hyatt as a Reimagined Desert Oasis

CHICAGO, IL (April 13, 2026): A bold new chapter in Old Town Scottsdale hospitality is set to unfold this spring as Hotel Solaya has officially opened its doors, joining the JdV by Hyatt brand portfolio. Following an extensive transformation, the newly reimagined property introduces a vibrant desert oasis where modern Mexican influence, playful design, and the energy of Scottsdale come together to create an entirely new lifestyle destination for locals and travelers alike.

The property features 194 newly redesigned guest rooms and suites, art-filled common spaces, curated dining concepts, on-site spa & fitness center, and a lively outdoor pool deck designed to capture the social energy of Old Town.

The name Solaya reflects the essence of the experience itself - combining "Sol," the sun, with "Aya," the goddess of dawn - creating a name that embodies radiance, imagination, and new beginnings. Inspired by the desert's quiet glow and the first light of day, the hotel evokes a sense of awakening, both creative and spiritual.

The design of Hotel Solaya introduces a bold, Modern Mexican flare, with interiors designed for natural connection.

"Hotel Solaya was designed to celebrate the energy of Scottsdale while offering guests a space that feels both vibrant and welcoming," said Tobby Rau, Hotel Solaya General Manager. "From the architecture and design to the culinary concepts and poolside atmosphere, every element reflects a sense of curiosity, connection, and discovery."
