Mid-century modern getaway in downtown Scottsdale
Relax, play, indulge -- orders easily filled in Scottsdale's mid-century modern getaway. A 2005 renovation artfully restored this beauty to hipness once enjoyed by Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe, and other glamorous Hollywood types. Six two-story buildings and a seven-story tower wrap around an hourglass and martini glass-shaped pool. Guests get pampered or stay fit at VH Spa. They also drink down libations at the Oh Pool Bar. Hungry? Get served at legendary Trader Vics or the signature Cafe ZuZu.
Highlights
  • Exemplary mid-century modern decor
  • Complimentary morning espresso and coffee bar
  • An hourglass and martini glass-shaped pool

Great Hotel!

We were in the area for business and stumbled on to Hotel Valley Ho. It worked out great for us--the staff is friendly, and they have a great exercise room, pool and restaurant. We were even allowed to check in early. I will certainly go back and recommend this Hotel.

Hotel Valley Ho in August

This was a very young crowd (20's) and although it was stylish and centrally located to great shopping restaurants etc, it could be a little too much for business travelers. I would have a much better time if I were 15 years younger and on vacation. ;-)

Everything you could need!

The pool and bar is a must see! Especially if this is a couples getaway. Its a large property so you may be walking a good ways to get to your room but its worth it. The decor is amazing, and the sights are beautiful!! Great time!

They are gonna charge you in the room for every bottle of water, coke, candy bar etc for way more. (a bottle of water is 4.00)- but theres a convenience store thats not even a block away where you can get all of those for cheap! :)

Hotel Valley Ho Review

I loved the retro contemporary design. Our room was great. My grandchildren thought it was "way cool" and also loved the pool. The service was excellent and very friendly. Also the location was perfect for our purposes--a day at Fashion Square. I would definitely rebook this hotel the next time I visit my grandchildren in Phoenix.

Don't let the pictures fool you....

Don't let the pictures fool you. My room was painted brick. There was a very good attempt to renovate the room, but it was missing something. The walls are very thin. I could hear my neighbors from all sides(top, left, right, and outside the hall). I could hear street noise clearly from my room and being a business traveler and a light sleeper, it doesn't work for me. I wouldn't mind staying there if I was in town to party. This hotel is geared for the night life people. It's in a prime location with shops and bars within walking distance(but who would want to walk around in 100+ degrees temperature). Overall I give this hotel a 3.5 out of 10.

The Valley Ho Ho HOLEY SMOKES!!!

Beautiful vintage hotel & amazing rooms. Trader Vic's is on the premises, and the grounds were very oasis like. Not recommended if you are bringing kids, or if you want to go to bed early. Highly recommended if you are in your 20's, having a bachelor/bachelorette party, or if you are a member of the Jersey Shore cast. Giant pool parties with DJ's on the weekends.

Hotel Valley Ho really means (HO)

Called the hotel and they failed to tell me about the ongoing pool party and bar at the pool. Guys allover and girls wearing almost nothing, this is not a place for children. They gave us our pool pass and said children are free, hell it was standing room only in the pool area. I called the manager and told him were leaving. So after two hours there we left (without charge) and went to the Holiday Inn Express for now on the holiday Inn is where im going to stay it was NICE!!!

Like being on Mad-Men

Coolest hotel room I have ever been in. Great atmosphere for younger people especially singles and young couples. Not a place for families or the elderly.

Thxs [...] for going above and beyond

A mistake was made in booking the room. I asked for a king size bed, and got two doubles. The hotel did nothing to fix the situation, but [...] weent above and beyond spending almost an hour trying to get it fixed. [...] And boo to the hotel for not caring about its guests!
