You Can Stargaze From Your Hotel Room At This Dark Sky Resort In Arizona
From open-air observatories to translucent domes, there are tons of ways to go stargazing in Arizona. Perhaps the most unique opportunity can be found at Adero Scottsdale, where you can stargaze from your hotel room. The resort has telescopes available for rent, so you can turn your private balcony into a planetarium.
Scottsdale's only certified Dark Sky Zone resort, Adero is surrounded by the vastness of the Sonoran Desert.
Boasting everything from a rooftop pool to on-site hiking trails to a state-of-the-art fitness center, the hotel offers a perfect blend of nature and modern luxury.
There are 177 rooms in total, including 16 suites. Amenities vary, but all Adero guests can expect to leave feeling thoroughly pampered and ready to take on the highs and lows of life.
One of the most incredible things about the resort is that each room features its own private balcony. Some of the rooms, including the highly coveted Dark Sky Corner Suites, even have wraparound balconies ideal for stargazing.
Marvel at planets, stars, and other celestial bodies that illuminate some of the darkest skies on Earth. You'll even get exclusive access to a real-time, interactive sky map smartphone app that will make you feel like a real astronomer.
If you prefer stargazing with a group, there are nightly events on the lawn led by expert guides. You'll see the resplendence of the cosmos like never before - and learn a few things along the way!
The opportunities to admire the night sky at Adero just don't stop. From a cocktail lounge above the clouds to a restaurant perched high above the McDowell Mountains, you can even stargaze while you eat and drink.
Visit the hotel’s website or Facebook page for more information, such as nightly room rates.
