LionGrove Expands Its Luxury Portfolio with ADERO Scottsdale Resort Acquisition
LionGrove, a prominent player in the hospitality investment landscape, has recently announced its acquisition of the ADERO Scottsdale Resort, part of the prestigious Autograph Collection by Marriott. Nestled in the breathtaking Sonoran Desert, this acquisition signals LionGrove's unwavering commitment to enhancing its collection of unique properties designed to deliver exceptional guest experiences.
The resort, which opened its doors in October 2020 following a substantial investment of $100 million, boasts 177 elegantly appointed rooms including 16 oversized suites and 32 exclusive casita-style accommodations, each equipped with a cozy fireplace. This asset uniquely positions itself as Scottsdale's only Dark Sky Zone resort, allowing guests to enjoy unparalleled stargazing experiences amidst the stunning Arizona landscape, including views of the iconic Four Peaks and McDowell Mountain Range.
Chris Sariego, Senior Managing Director and COO of LionGrove, commented on the acquisition, stating that it represents an exciting milestone in the company’s ongoing mission to curate a portfolio filled with distinctive and memorable hospitality offerings. 'ADERO Scottsdale stands out for its seamless integration of modern luxury, thoughtful design, and a profound connection to the surrounding natural beauty. We are thrilled to welcome such an innovative resort into our growing collection,' he remarked.
The resort promises a plethora of premier amenities aimed at creating memorable experiences for guests. With two heated pools and a sunlit deck for relaxation, the property also features a state-of-the-art 5,000-square-foot wellness studio that hosts daily yoga, stretching, and Pilates classes. Guests can indulge in the serenity of the boutique spa, which offers unique treatments that incorporate natural desert minerals.
Moreover, ADERO Scottsdale Resort offers over 16,800 square feet of versatile event space, making it a prime location for corporate retreats, weddings, and special gatherings. Dining at the resort is an experience in itself, thanks to the signature restaurant CIELO, which serves a delightful array of regionally inspired cocktails and locally sourced dishes, creating a culinary journey reflective of Arizona's rich heritage.
Beyond its luxurious facilities, ADERO Scottsdale actively embraces sustainability, evident through initiatives like bulk bath amenities and accessible filtered hydration stations throughout the property. The resort also organizes guided hiking, mountain biking, and stargazing tours, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring desert landscape while fostering an appreciation for nature and sustainability.
This acquisition also marks LionGrove’s first venture into Arizona, further highlighting its strategic expansion into robust markets abundant with growth opportunities. According to Andro Nodarse-León, CEO of LionGrove, the addition of ADERO Scottsdale exemplifies the company’s dedication to creating extraordinary travel experiences that resonate with the modern-day traveler.
With this new addition, LionGrove’s portfolio now includes distinguished properties such as the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest Beach Golf Resort, Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Boutique Resort, and Fairmont El San Juan Hotel, among others. Each hotel within the collection reflects LionGrove’s commitment to delivering exceptional accommodations that cater to the distinct needs of their guests.
In summary, the acquisition of ADERO Scottsdale Resort not only enhances LionGrove’s luxurious offerings but also supports the company’s mission to create unique and immersive experiences for travelers seeking sophistication intertwined with a deep connection to the natural world. As LionGrove continues to grow and innovate, it remains focused on building a portfolio that champions creativity, individuality, and unforgettable moments for every guest.
