Shiv’s Truffle Butter Bread Service is a must-try to commence the dining experience as it’s served tableside with fresh truffles hand shaved into a house-made compound butter. Guests can choose from a variety of chilled seafood towers, irresistible starters, and multiple caviar offerings including a signature caviar dome that will incorporate fresh lobster with house baked brioche toast and decadent lobster butter that blows away any traditional caviar service. Expertly crafted entrees include the Scallop Crudo with delicate sashimi grade sliced scallop, citrus buttermilk cream, and aleppo spiced strawberry jus, and the Smoke Show Chowder made with Halibut in a lemon chowder broth. A selection of Charcoal-Fired Prime Steaks, including a show-stopping Colossal Tomahawk presented tableside, are perfect for steak aficionados. Shiv’s cocktail program features bespoke drinks designed to captivate the senses. From distinctive martinis to signature cocktails, each creation is thoughtfully selected to enhance the experience, while a perfectly designed wine list ensures there’s something to celebrate every occasion.

The highly-anticipated coastal Italian hotspot, Élephante, is set to debut December 4th inside a stunning, custom-designed space at Scottsdale Fashion Square. Now accepting reservations, Élephante will be open for dinner only beginning on December 4th (4pm-11pm), with lunch and weekend brunch service to soon follow. Élephante’s vibrant, seasonal menus transport guests to the Mediterranean; think wood-fired pizzas like the Burrata pizza and Soppressata pizza, fresh pastas such as the new Tortellini Pomodoro and classic Cacio e Pepe, alongside sustainably-sourced seafoods like the Grilled Octopus and Diver Scallops, and meats such as the 10oz Prime Skirt Steak. All paired with Élephante’s renowned beverage program featuring craft cocktails (shaken, stirred, draft and even frozen), and a thoughtfully curated wine program, including proprietary private-label wines and a full-time sommelier roaming the floor. Plus, exclusive to the Scottsdale location, Élephante will debut Bar Bambino, an intimate cocktail lounge tucked away inside the space for late night drinks and bites.

Home to an indoor-outdoor space filled with desert plants and cacti, along with large banquettes perfect for group dining, Élephante Scottsdale is the newest location for the Los Angeles-based Wish You Were Here Group. Each Élephante location is crafted with custom furniture and artisanal details that pay homage to the city where it resides. Designed by restaurateur and founder of Wish You Were Here Group, Nick Mathers, Élephante aims to transport guests to Pantelleria and the Aeolian islands off the Sicilian coast, right in the heart of Scottsdale. “We always aim to make guests feel like they have escaped to somewhere else for a moment. To accomplish this, the space needs to feel authentic. We custom designed every aspect of the space and each piece of furniture in-house. We imported the carrera tile from Italy, and flew in artists from around the world to make the artwork, macramé and tapestries on-site.”

Entering via a dramatic archway, Élephante welcomes guests with hemp artwork hung from the hand-plastered walls and a collection of handmade baskets. Set atop marble floors, the open-air dining room is adorned with custom silk tapestries, wall ceramics and raw cotton artwork, while the dining spaces feature green marble-topped tables offset with wooden furnishings and striking rattan dividers sourced from Indonesia. Centered around a massive white oak and teak wood bar, Élephante also has a fold-away glass wall leading to a spacious, plant-filled outdoor dining patio.

Led by Wish You Were Here Group Chef Partner, Thomas Lim, Élephante’s produce-driven menus feature items like Diver Scallops with citrus butter, Caviar and chives, and a Whole Lobster Piccata with caper brown butter, shallot, garlic and lemon. “We also expanded the selection of large plates adding dishes like a 20oz Dry-aged Bone-in ribeye.” Plus, exclusive to Scottsdale is an expanded selection of dips for Élephante’s signature wood-fired puccia, a puffed, soft bread from Italy’s Puglia region. Dips include the Santa Monica-famed Whipped Eggplant, along with Whipped Stracchino, and Burrata and Caviar.

Élephante’s extensive beverage program features both new, signature and classic cocktails, plus a rotating selection of frozen cocktails, punch bowls and even elevated mocktails. Highlights include the namesake cocktail, The Élephante, with passion fruit, lemon, almond orgeat, Montenegro, and Calabrian chili, paired with the guest’s choice of spirits; Cactus Water with vodka, lime, watermelon, lavender, Aperitivo Select; and the White Elephant with reposado tequila, lime, almond orgeat, and spiced pear. Plus, in-house draft cocktails, such as a crystal-clear, sparkling Paloma, and Espresso Martinis, including lavender with vodka, cinnamon with reposado tequila or mocha with mezcal. You can even add a custom picture of your choice printed in coffee ink right atop your cocktail. Élephante’s wine program includes bottles from every region of Italy, and also features four proprietary private-label wines: a Pinot Grigio from Sicily, a Prosecco-style sparkling wine from California, a Super Tuscan from Tuscany, and a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, the last of which will be exclusive to Arizona.

Unique to the Scottsdale location is Bar Bambino, an exclusive tucked-away cocktail lounge for elevated late night drinks and bites, which will open on Saturday, December 7th. Housed inside Élephante, step through the curtain entryway to discover a sophisticated bar with a live DJ nightly and a sleek curved bronze-scallop bar beneath a central chandelier and retro mirrored ceiling. Beverage offerings include unique cocktails, espresso martinis, wines by the glass, and featured champagnes. As an added feature, Bar Bambino will offer tableside Cocktail Cart Service to elevate the traditional bottle experience, including classic martini service prepared with add ons such as a caviar pairing, or shaken cocktails. Signature cocktails include La Bambina with vodka, della sirene rosso, lemon, pear, ginger, blue spirulina, and sparkling water; a Maple Wood Smoked Old Fashioned featuring Élephante private select barrel bourbon, apricot, demerara, angostura, lemon and orange oils; and the Deconstructed Bellini. The food menu includes items such as Lobster Rolls, Tuna Tartare, Arancini, Caviar Toast and more.

Welcome to Two Days Away, our series featuring weekend-long itineraries within a five-hour drive of your city—because sometimes we all just need a little adventure fix.

‌

For the past few decades, Scottsdale has mastered the art of rest and relaxation. A quick drive from Phoenix, this is Arizona’s own Palm Springs. Much like the Californian escape, it started as a lowkey getaway for the Hollywood crowd, who figured no one would come looking for them in the far reaches of the Sonoran. Scottsdale has it all: arts, culture, glam, and classic desert quirks, with giant, cartoon-like saguaro cacti sprouting up from the ground where Joshua trees might be in the Golden State.

Friendly, laid-back locals outnumber glammed-up tourists, and bars aren’t afraid to get a little rowdy—in fact, they hope to be. The food scene combines the best of the Southwest with culinary concepts worthy of any major metropolis, and the endless expanse of cacti framed by craggy mountains are as photo-worthy as some of our country’s most stunning national parks. Spend enough time here, and you may find yourself sporting a Stetson hat (Scottsdale is also home to the one and only Cowboy College).

Scottsdale’s many personalities clearly bring in travelers of all sorts—partiers, celebs, yoga retreaters, cowboy culture vultures. Another to add to that list: pet lovers.

Pet sitters aren’t out of job, per se, but more and more it seems we’re bringing our pets on family vacations. They are a part of the family, after all. According to one national survey, owners want their furry companion to accompany them everywhere.

Go hiking or strolling through Old Town with your dog in tow, before you both settle in on a restaurant patio for afternoon drinks. Nearby hotels are not only happy to welcome your pet, but often provide an elevated level of service for them. So pack the bags, leashes, and carriers and head to the Southwest. Scottsdale’s reputation may precede it, but the reality will leave you and Fido pleasantly surprised.

Travel time

5 hours from Las Vegas, Nevada 6 hours from Los Angeles, California

If you only do one thing: Get out and hit the trails

Stretch your legs (and paws) on some of the fabulous hiking trails that wind around the city and find inner peace in the great outdoors. Several resorts have trails that can be accessed from the property; check with the front desk to see if there are paths available to you. Go explore the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, the largest urban preserve in the entire country, which hosts several trailheads that welcome dogs; Tom’s Thumb is a particularly challenging one for pets and people. For something a little less strenuous, hit the Arizona Canal Trail, an urban trail path that winds through Old Town, the Scottsdale Waterfront, and SouthBridge. Or head out on the 11 mile paved Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt, which meanders from Central Scottsdale all the way down to Tempe Town Lake. Along the way, there are lakes, golf courses, and plenty of parks to enjoy.

Just make sure to do your research beforehand, because some of the more popular trails, like Pinnacle Peak or Camelback Mountain, do not allow dogs. Most importantly - when the temperature is at least 100 degrees, dogs are not allowed on any trails and really, they shouldn’t be out above 90 degrees.

Fill the weekend with

Set aside time to soak in all of the outdoor splendor the city has to offer. The Desert Botanical Garden hosts people and their dogs on select days to stroll through the garden’s trails. There’s water refill stations available, plus health and wellness talks throughout the day. Head to McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, which covers 30 acres and houses a railroad museum, desert arboretum, carousel, and offers rides on the Paradise & Pacific Railroad train. The train allows pooches as well, as long as they can fit on your lap.

Scottsdale is also home to some excellent dog parks that are near to most of the activities going on in town. Try Chaparral Dog Park, where there are two separate areas catering to different sized dogs. Horizon Dog Park is quite a bit smaller, but there’s plenty of shade and areas to hang out. Finally, Vista del Camino Dog Park has offsite parking but there are trees and water fountains for people and pets; note that this park is closed in summer.

Those who like to give their credit card a workout have come to the right place. Scottsdale is serious about shopping and caters to every type of customer available. High-end retail can be found at the aptly named Scottsdale Fashion Square, home to brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. The mall welcomes pups 12 lbs or smaller as long as they are carried or pushed in a stroller, though individual stores may not allow them. For something a little more one-of-a-kind, go to the 5th Avenue Shopping District, which is full of boutiques, vintage shops, and a great way to support local small businesses. Since it’s an outdoor district, it’s easy to walk around with your leashed pet.

Where to eat and drink in Scottsdale

For a taste of local wine: Hit Scottsdale has its own wine trail. The path through Old Town includes several tasting rooms representing the numerous wineries across Arizona’s three American Viticultural Areas; a number of them offer pet-friendly patios. This includes The Wine Collective, which features wines across all of Arizona. While in the neighborhood, swing through Rusty Spur Saloon, an iconic location that’s been serving up the cowboy vibes for over 70(!) years and allows dogs on the patio until 5 pm.

For a Mediterranean meal that hits the spot: Snag a reservation at the delectable CALA restaurant, whose pet-friendly patio is the perfect place to relax while chowing down on the Mediterranean-style cuisine. Marino’s Italian Kitchen & Bar at Desert Ridge is known for authentic Italian food with a large wraparound patio that happily accepts pets.

Dinner with a view: Weft & Warp Art Bar + Kitchen offers a Dinner with Your Dog every Wednesday. Enjoy patio dining with views of Camelback Mountain. Guests ordering from the Doggy Menu get 15% off their bill. $1 from each doggy meal is donated to Lucky Dog Rescue.

Where to stay

For a longstanding classic: Hotel Valley Ho has been serving guests since the mid-50’s. Don’t be fooled by the mid-century design; this property ensures a healthy balance of contemporary and historical. With no additional charges to stay, dogs are welcome here and they are perfectly positioned near Old Town or the Arizona Canal Trail for walks.

The boutique hotel without the pup surcharge: Mountain Shadows resort doesn’t charge extra for your pup to stay at the property. The modern boutique hotel will make you both feel right at home with all the basics provided for your dog, plus an amenity for them to enjoy. No breed or size restrictions here either. The resort’s resident dog, Lemon, will be on hand to greet both of you.

A place that will pamper your pet: A “pupcierge” is on hand at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess to make sure your canine has every need covered, down to arranging for dog sitters and walkers. Water and food bowls will be provided, along with a bed, toys, and in-room dog dining menu. The expansive property is also ideal for going on early morning or evening walks; plus, you may be greeted by a couple of Golden Retrievers in the lobby at check-in as part of their Canine Ambassador Program.

For the extra luxe stay: Royal Palms Resort and Spa’s Royal Paws program offers an elevated pet program for paw-rents looking to give their four-legged friends the ultimate luxury hotel experience. The program features a dedicated pet menu with bites like the "Chew-dité” and the "Rebarkable Burger” in addition to a collection of plush branded beds, bowls and tennis balls for use during the stay. Royal Palms’ concierge will also provide a map of the best pet-friendly spots on property to play and explore.
