Canopy by Hilton Scottsdale Old Town, the first new hotel in over a decade in Old Town Scottsdale, announced its expansive rooftop bar and lounge is now open daily. Outrider Rooftop Lounge embodies the charm of the surrounding arts district and is home to the city’s best views with unrivaled 180-degree panoramas.
