Highlights

Arizona Boardwalk broke ground on a four-story, 142-room Hyatt Place hotel at the Talking Stick Entertainment District, adding a branded lodging option to the Loop 101 corridor within the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. The project is scheduled to open in late 2027.

The hotel will include a lobby bar, breakfast area, fitness center, outdoor pool, and approximately 230 parking spaces. Deutsch Architecture Group designed the building; Layton Construction is the general contractor. The design incorporates architectural elements drawn from Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community cultural heritage and includes a signature aquarium.

The hotel sits adjacent to the existing Arizona Boardwalk complex, which neighbors Talking Stick Resort, Topgolf, PopStroke, Medieval Times, and iFLY Indoor Skydiving along the Loop 101 frontage.

Who controls the land around it?

Arizona Boardwalk has identified nearly 50 additional acres within the Talking Stick Entertainment District earmarked for future family-oriented attractions, restaurants, retail, and entertainment development. The acreage sits within the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, meaning any future development will proceed under tribal land-use authority rather than Scottsdale or Maricopa County zoning.

The groundbreaking was reported by KTAR News 92.3 FM and Arizona Foothills Magazine. Opening is targeted for late 2027.
