For dining, we invite you to visit our newly renovated Silver Wings Restaurant and Lounge. Our Silver Wings Restaurant offeres a free daily breakfast buffet and modern Southwestern cuisine for dinner. For lighter fare, try our room service menu or enjoy a drink and items from the grill in our Silvers Wings Bar.

*** Newly Renovated Bar with Old School Charm and WWII Memorabilia***

Our Silver Wings Lounge is also very unique. Decorated in the traditional aviation style, you can look back in history at some of the most interesting photos, memorabilia and displays in Scottsdale, including autographed photographs signed by the United States Air Force Thunderbird Pilots. And don’t forget to take a look at our center piece table in the Lounge. The base is made from a vintage World War II aircraft radial engine. When we named Silver Wings, we wanted it to be a place where all of our military aviation pilots could be remembered as the proud and high flying “Silver Wings”!

The Best Western Plus Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites is also in the Center of many other fine restaurants in North Scottsdale.
