hotel valley ho

Hotel Valley Ho was cool back in 1956 when it first opened its doors, and it's every bit as chic now, after an expansive and meticulously groomed 2005 rehabilitation.

The hotel is a classic in mid-century design and lighthearted ambiance. Originally a hideaway for Hollywood's elite, this downtown Scottsdale urban resort once again features rooms with all-glass walls opening onto airy patios. Enhancements include the VH Spa for workouts overlooking the pool, music and massage in private cabanas, and dining at Cafe ZuZu, Trader Vic's, and the poolside OH Pool Bar + Cabanas.
