LionGrove, a leading hospitality investment firm, announces the purchase of ADERO Scottsdale Resort, Autograph Collection, an idyllic resort nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.
“The acquisition of ADERO Scottsdale marks an exciting milestone in LionGrove’s dedication to building a portfolio of distinctive hospitality properties that create memorable and enriching guest experiences,” said Chris Sariego, Senior Managing Director and COO of LionGrove. “ADERO Scottsdale stands out as a property that effortlessly combines modern luxury, thoughtful design, and a deep connection to the breathtaking desert landscape. We’re excited to add such a unique and forward-thinking resort to our growing portfolio.”
ADERO Scottsdale Resort is a part of Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection, which includes a diverse and dynamic collection of over 320 hotels around the world that are independent, one-of-a-kind, and champion values of vision design and craft. The resort opened in October 2020 after a $100-million investment. It features 177 rooms, including 16 oversized suites and 32 casita-style rooms with fireplaces. Located with breathtaking views of Arizona’s Four Peaks and McDowell Mountain Range, the resort is Scottsdale’s only Dark Sky Zone resort, offering a guest experience deeply rooted in the beauty of the surrounding Sonoran Desert.
Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), the resort boasts an array of premium amenities including two heated pools, a sundeck, and a 5,000-square-foot wellness studio with daily yoga, stretch, and Pilates classes. Additional features include its boutique spa with treatments using desert minerals, more than 16,800 square feet of event spaces, and the signature CIELO restaurant featuring regional cocktails and locally sourced cuisine. The property offers guided experiences of hiking, mountain biking, and evening stargazing tours, while the property maintains a commitment to sustainability through initiatives like bulk bath amenities and filtered hydration stations.
“This acquisition represents LionGrove’s first hotel property in Arizona, marking an exciting milestone in our journey of growth and innovation,” said Andro Nodarse-León, CEO of LionGrove. “It underscores our commitment to strategically expanding into high-growth markets while delivering exceptional experiences that resonate with today’s discerning travelers.” ADERO Scottsdale Resort becomes the newest addition to LionGrove’s portfolio, joining the distinguished Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest Beach & Golf Resort, Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Boutique Resort, and Fairmont El San Juan Hotel.
