TRAVEL GUIDE & VACATION OUTFITS | SCOTTSDALE, AZ
HOTEL ADELINE
THE CUTEST STAY IN ARIZONA
This adorable little boutique hotel, Hotel Adeline, makes all your Instagram dreams come true! I have NEVER stayed at a hotel that had so much detail… seriously, I want to decorate my entire place in their decor. It’s located right in the action of downtown Scottsdale and is a quick Uber ride or walk to tons of restaurants and bars. We used the Bird App to take scooters around everywhere and it was so much fun! I had to peel Aaron off of them haha :) Not to mention it’s only 25 minutes away from the Phoenix airport so you’re poolside in no time!
As soon as you pull on to the property you feel like you’re living in a magazine! They two walls outside the lobby that make the best Instagram backgrounds and make you feel so excited for your stay. I’m not kidding when I say they thought of every detail! Just when you think it can’t get any better you walk into the lobby and it looks like a desert dream. Big comfy couches, tribal print accent chairs, boho plants and the best smelling candle that makes you feel right at home!
My favorite part about the hotel was all the options and things to do! They had 5 places to eat and drink within the hotel, one being a Speakeasy that was through a hidden door and had the best cocktails. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we get to the pool. The pool had such a fun atmosphere and really made you feel like you were on vacation! They had a pool party on Saturday with a DJ and it reminded me a little like Vegas. It got the party started haha :) Not to mention they had a ping pong table, life size connect 4, and trash can pong! SO MUCH FUN. I HIGHLY recommend the Adeline’s Hydration for a poolside drink and great way to enjoy the view of Camelback Mountain. Yes, the pool had a view of Camelback and it was SO beautiful at sunset! *The only thing I will warn you about is the pool chairs fill up FAST so I recommend getting down there early to get a spot*
Overall, we had so much fun at Hotel Adeline and would definitely go back again and stay! If you’re looking for a getaway with your bae or some friends, this is a great option to check out. *The rooms are a little small so sharing a room with 4 people may be a little tight*
WHERE TO EAT

Our room didn’t have a mini fridge so we basically had to eat out for every meal which I’m not mad about judging by how amazing the restaurants are there.

EXPLORE THE AREA
Not going to lie to you… this trip consisted of a lot of cocktails by the pool and happy hours around the area! But Aaron did a lot of research on hikes and trails in the area and we landed on Pinnacle Peak Park. It was definitely a medium level of difficulty with the most gorgeous views! We were looking into Camelback but I was a little nervous it would be too hard haha so I am SO glad we ended up at Pinnacle Peak. I highly recommend going early in the morning so it’s not super hot when you hike back up the mountain. We did this on the morning of my birthday and it was SO much fun! Maybe one of my favorite parts of the trip :)
WHAT I WORE
I felt like my style this vacation was super easy and breezy! The days were warm and the nights cooled off so I definitely recommend you bring a jean jacket or a cardigan. I wore a lot of casual tops and jean shorts during the day but at night I reached for jumpsuits, dresses, and linen pants! I will link below everything I packed so if you’re looking to spice up your wardrobe this spring and summer you might want to check this out! :)
