A Scottsdale bachelorette party is the perfect spot for a bride who is looking for laid-back desert vibes. There are great nightclubs, wineries, pool parties, and spas making it perfect for a more lively and/or laid-back bachelorette party. The weather is also great the majority of the year. If you're planning a Scottsdale bachelorette party, I've got you covered.

Scottsdale has become a go-to destination for bachelorette parties, earning its reputation as the "Bachelorette Party Capital of the Southwest." I've been to a bachelorette party here and I loved it.

(If you want to take the stress out of planning your Scottsdale bachelorette party, here's my Ultimate Bachelorette Party Planner. It comes with 10 tabs, each pre-filled with lists, items, and formulas to make planning as organized as possible!)

Where To Stay:

Old Town Scottsdale

  • W Scottsdale: Known for its chic decor and vibe, the W is a popular choice for Scottsdale bachelorette parties. It has a rooftop pool/bar, and super nice rooms.

  • Hotel Valley Ho: This mid-century modern gem has a retro-chic vibe with poolside lounging. It's close to the downtown Scottsdale nightlife.
