History

The Radisson Fort McDowell invites you to share in a mystic desert adventure known to few Valley resorts. Imagine Native American tradition combined with contemporary architecture, championship golf, energizing casino action, equestrian outings, and desert activities, together in one AAA Four Diamond Award winning resort! Whether you or your clients are looking for an "all business" setting, a spiritual perspective, or a more exciting component, we can accommodate those desires!

Located on the eastern edge of Scottsdale, home of Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, the Radisson offers some of the most unforgettable views in the Valley. The Four Peaks rise 7,000 feet from the desert floor to the East, the Verde River flanks the property, and majestic century-old saguaro cacti act as sentry to this magical place nestled above the chaos of the city. You will feel as though you have entered another world as you make your way to this captivating desert haven, we are only 30 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport.

There is a compelling story here as well...that of Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, which has endured against all odds. Proud and resilient people, they have triumphed over adversity with strength and perseverance, building a strong and economically sound homeland to ensure future generations a better life.
