SCOTTSDALE, AZ — The first Hard Rock hotel in Arizona is set to debut in 2026.

Hard Rock International, along with equity partner ERES Capital, confirmed its development plans on June 4 for its new Scottsdale-area hotel. As revealed by the Business Journal in 2023, Reverb by Hard Rock Scottsdale is being built at The Sydney, a 26-acre mixed-use project on Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Land near 90th Street and the Loop 101 freeway.

In its latest project update, the hotel room count for Reverb by Hard Rock has increased to 195 rooms compared to 168 that was reported last year.

"We're planning an amazing cultural hub for guests who love music, sports and exploring exciting places, all in the beautiful Sonoran Desert," said Todd Hricko, senior vice president and head of global hotel development for Hard Rock International, in a statement.

Interesting. I mean - isn't there a bunch of industrial development going in across the street from that project? Odd location as well. When flying JSX I knew we came in on our landing approach right over that corner - so I question just how tall that building is going to be. Looked about 140ft from the renderings...which would be pretty tall for that area. Surprised the NIMBYs didn't kill this...

This is Salt River Reservation Land...originally this project was suppose to be an office development before they pivoted towards entertainment uses aka The Sydney...it's suppose to have bars, live music venues, pickleballs, food, etc...building off the synergy of Talking Stick.

Bad location? It's the perfect location if you're looking to avoid property taxes.

Actually, this location is well-within the City of Scottsdale limits.

Edit: Ah, my bad. I was thrown off by the comment about the JSX flight and was looking at where Princess turns into Pima. Apparently, this is much further South and is BARELY on the reservation.

Ack - I looked at that map wrong. Still an odd location for that sort of venue. I mean why not up near the proposed Coyotes arena?

Heads up, the rendering of the Hard Rock is for the project in Atlanta, the one in Scottsdale will be an impressive 5 stories...renderings have not been released yet...
