James Hotel Scottsdale
Scottsdale, Arizona, 2004
DBPA completed the renovation of a 30-year-old resort property on a seven-acre parcel adjoining the Civic Center Park in downtown Scottsdale, Arizona for New York restaurateur Stephen Hanson and partners Danny and Vito Errico. Designed to appeal to a young, urban & stylish customer, the new hotel features updated guest rooms in five three-story buildings and a complete renovation of the property's main public building. This building includes a new lobby and reception area, ballroom and meeting spaces, lobby lounge, and 350-seat indoor/outdoor restaurant.

Working with landscape architect Christy Ten Eyck and lighting designer Richard Renfro, DBPA also designed a completely new outdoor space, including a new pool, 2000 square-foot fitness building, outdoor bar and massage rooms.
