HOTEL REVIEW


There is also a bar, reminiscent of old


Western saloons but sculpted in a modern way with a sitting area panelled with weathered barn siding and sculpted niches. Andrew Zobler adds, “There are so many things we are proud of in this hotel. Of course, the hotel’s design is an outstanding feature, especially for the area. But we are also proud to have Chef Jose Garcas on board.” The chef is lauded for his Pan-Latin cuisine, which he brings to the hotel’s eateries. Currently, the hotel is managed by hospitality group Joie de Vivre, making sure that all visitors, those that come for business and pleasure alike, are well taken care of. “When you come here, it’s hard not to feel good with all the hotel’s playful vibe and dynamic colours,” Zobler adds. Sydell Group wanted to create a property whose design was out of the box and Stamberg and Aferiat


delivered. The Saguaro “is the desert in bloom,” say the architects. Sydell Group have ambitions well beyond


the Arizona desert. Soon after the successful launch of The Saguaro Scottsdale, Sydell assembled the same team of creative partners to help re-launch a former Holiday Inn in Palm Springs as another Saguaro hotel. The group has just launched The NoMad Hotel in New York with Will Guidara and Michelin- Star chef Daniel Humm, the creative team behind the award-winning Eleven Madison Park restaurant in New York. Future projects include the transformation of the recently acquired 388-room Wilshire Hotel in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles into “the first lifestyle hotel in the United States with a strong connection to Korean culture.” Additional projects are in the works in New York, Washington DC, and San Francisco.
