Here's a look at Phoenix/Scottsdale's new spaces open for events this fall. The new and renovated Phoenix/Scottsdale venues are available for corporate parties, weddings, fundraisers, outdoor functions, business dinners, team-building activities, conferences, meetings, and more.
A note regarding COVID-19: At BizBash, we're still committed to bringing you ideas and inspiration for when (yes, when!) events are back up and running. Some of the venues listed here may not yet be available for hosting events due to the pandemic, or they may be operating at a lower capacity.
ADERO
ADERO, an Autograph Collection property, is set to open this month. The six-story hotel houses 177 rooms and suites—95% of which come with stunning mountain views. With more than 16,800 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, ADERO can host groups of a variety of sizes. The 4,000-square-foot Four Peaks Lawn, for example, accommodates 190 for seated banquets or 220 for cocktail receptions; the 4,250-square-foot Four Peaks Ballroom features 20-foot-tall windows and space for 500 for theater-style events, 450 for cocktail receptions, or 350 for banquets; and the Sonoran View Room fits 30 guests classroom style, 30 conference style, or 75 for theater-style setups. Guests can also enjoy the resort’s signature restaurant CIELO, a boutique spa, a 5,000-square-foot wellness center, an open-to-the-public art installation, two heated pools, and an Adventure Concierge to facilitate programming like sunrise trail hikes, evening telescope tours, and on-site night markets.

ARRIVE Phoenix
ARRIVE Phoenix, a 79-room boutique hotel, opened in September. A fun, playful vibe greets guests as soon as they enter the property, starting with a popsicle shop that doubles as the registration desk. The property features Lylo Swim Club, a 3,760-square-foot poolside bar and restaurant that is available for private events for as many as 200 guests. The venue serves refreshing cocktails like sorbet bellinis, craft beers, and wines, as well as Hawaiian-Japanese-inspired bites like mochiko fried chicken and spicy tuna rice cakes. A rooftop bar is scheduled to open at the hotel in November.

Postino WineCafe South Tempe
In September, Postino WineCafe expanded its operations into South Tempe. Outfitted with fun details like a circa-1960s cigarette machine, a wall of vintage skateboarding ads, rollup garage doors, and mid-century modern furniture, the decor is playful and funky. Like its other Valley-area locations, the menu features an array of snacks, bruschettas, and paninis, while the wine list focuses on varietals from Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. Spanning 3,300 square feet, the indoor-outdoor venue can seat as many as 167 guests, including as many as 40 on the private patio, which is equipped with a wood-burning fireplace.

Stratta Kitchen
Stratta Kitchen opened in McCormick Ranch in August. Like the restaurant’s light and airy decor, the menu is fresh and seasonal, with flavor-packed choices like gazpacho, grilled toast with baba ganoush, and Alaskan salmon skewers. While the menu features many options that are gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegetarian, the kitchen can recreate nearly any dish to satisfy a diner’s dietary restrictions. The 3,200-square-foot venue can accommodate as many as 150 guests for cocktail-style events.
