Beautiful lounge! Plenty of seats and space. Grab drinks while you visit and wait. If the bar is closed just go upstairs to the W. There is a pool up there. 24hr valet parking.
Very relaxing and all around good vibe lounge. I recommend going to this lounge in a large group.
Awesome, experience. This is a must visit, soley for the party scene, especially for vacationers.Enjoy!
Highly rude. My husband was wearing a colorful closed toe vans and the security bouncer did not allow him to go because it was colorful! There is no where on the website mentioned about color. It said no open toes or sandals but nowhere it is mentioned to not have colorful shoes. On top of it this lounge calls itself lgbtq friendly while it does not allow colors! So someone can’t express their style in color but just black and white ??? Dude come on this is not 1990! On top of it extra rude. Either have your requirements refreshed or be courteous and nice to customers
Friday night at the Cottontail Lounge was great! The atmosphere was enjoyable, bar service was attentive and drinks were delicious. We were looking forward to ending our trip with our last night in Arizona at the Cottontail Lounge on Saturday night.When we tried to enter Saturday evening, the door man opening the velvet rope stanchion informed us there is a no open shoe dress code for males and we would need to change shoes if we wanted to enter. As a guest of the W, it was an instant turn-off that we weren’t able to enjoy an amenity of the hotel we had enjoyed the night before. Could I have changed shoes? Yes. But in my opinion, the principle of the matter was we were trying to access the upstairs bar area that is centered around a SWIMMING POOL yet no open toed shoes were allowed? But we did see two men walking down the stairs wearing no shirts with drinks in their hand. It just seemed like a strange rule to enforce when the vibe of the entire lounge from the bumping music, scantily dressed wait staff and casual nature of the lounge warranted a “dress code” but only tailored to the shoes. We chose to stay in our room for the evening and not spend likely $150 +/- on drinks as we had done the night before. A drop in the bucket for the lounge on the whole but we will not be returning to the Cottontail when we are in Scottsdale.
The W is solid hotel chain which caters to a certain type of peopleI have been to the daytime pool party here. It's fantastic! It is well-managed, organized, fun and safe.However, at night, it's a different story! I was here a couple of years ago, and it was fun.However, now, there is dress code for entry. Guys cannot wear sandals or hats. Really?In this day and age, neither of those items are indicative that you are a low rent, dirt bag, or criminal.The door men also seemed to be running some sort of scam or operation to allow entry.They told us the bar was at capacity and refused us entry along with a few other groups.However, we had friends staying at the hotel. They had to come to the door and have a 5 minute discussion with these people to get us into the lounge...which was not even half full. Ridiculous.Hopefully, they update these policies and evaluate their staff. It is really a great hotel and venue without all the BS.
Went to Cottontail after a wedding with a large group and had a great time! The place is HUGE so it was actually the perfect place to bring a large group of people which can be quite hard at most bars. There were tons of places to sit by the pool on little U-shaped couches, in general there were lots of spots to hang in groups all over both seated and standing or dance. There were all types of people there so I wouldn’t say it was specific to any age group or type of person. The music was good and it was just all around a fun vibe. It’s bumping. Definitely would go back!
All the servers were awesome! Just hit the mark on food and speed of service.
Expensive for what it is. Service wasn’t great as we had to wait ages to get served. The manager came over to our table and had a bad attitude
