Scottsdale resort ranked among the world’s best by Travel + Leisure
The five-star InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa draws inspiration from Spain's Andalusia region to create an unforgettable Arizona experience. Situated at the foot of postcard-perfect Camelback Mountain, the resort is just minutes away from Scottsdale and Phoenix attractions such as Old Town Scottsdale and the Phoenix Zoo. But with golf, fine dining and an award-winning spa, guests settle into plenty of activities at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa.
Highlights
- Sunset Cinema series with al fresco film screenings
- Planet Trekkers Kids Club: Indoor and outdoor activities like life-size chess, treasure hunts, gaming room (Wii and X-Box) and more
- On-site Joya Spa
- Priority tee times are four area golf courses
Rooms
Thirty-five acres of lush desert landscape are the backdrop for the incomparable rooms, suites and villas at InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa. Expect poster beds, desert, pool or mountain views, private patios or balconies and the Divine Bed by Joya Spa. Flat-panel HDTVs, free Wi-Fi Internet access, luxurious sunken bathtubs and showers with dual showerheads are some of the amenities that make this resort a Scottsdale standout.
Features
While the heart and soul of the InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa comes from Andalusia, there are other influences here, too -- a restaurant inspired by Villa San Michele in Tuscany, a wedding chapel with elements of the Hotel Cipriani in Venice. The Castillo Lucena event space is accented with 16th-century palace double doors from the village of Luceno in southern Spain.
Dining
Restaurants, bars and cafes at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa represent some of the best of Scottsdale, from Lavazza coffee drinks and housemade gelato to award-winning fine dining at Prado, where the dinner menu changes daily to highlight the freshest ingredients available.
Recreation
InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa features five pools surrounded by palm and citrus trees and direct views of Camelback Mountain. Soak up the sun or relax in the shade of a luxury cabana.
Joya Spa provides a combination of bliss-inducing services, including spa treatments, salon services, a yoga and fitness center and global spa cuisine at Joya Terrace.

Fabulous Relaxing Getaway
Everything was fabulous, from the views to the anemities to the mattress, pillows & sheets. The spa is extraordinary in services and is just gorgeous. The staff was so friendly and very helpful in every way. We had a family wedding there and it was perfect. Our family stayed in both rooms and the Camelback Villa, which is beyond unbelievable. The entire property is just a dream! Wish I could have stayed forever!!

Montelucia
The rooms were large and the bathrooms were huge. The staff was fantastic and always remembered our name after only meeting us once. We arrived early so our room was not ready but they allowed us to change in the spa. I have to say what I saw of the spa it was beautiful. The food was good but the food at the outside bar was good, I thought was slightly over priced. The main restaurant/bar had friendly bartenders and they had a jazz band playing both nights and they were outstanding. All and all, we will be back soon.

I saw the desert!
I not only saw the desert, but experienced it here at this hotel. Camelback Mountain's lovely profile was constantly visible. The pool area, the gym, the spa the terrace restaurant were all wonderful.

Great spot for Anniversary!
My boyfriend and I went here to get out of our boring town for a romantic getaway for our anniversary. It was absolutely wonderful! The room was beautiful, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the views and amenities were absolutely gorgeous. All of the pools were beautiful, and the Prado restaurant served wonderful Egg's Benedict. We'll definitely be going back!

Could Have Been Better!!!
This hotel is set at the base of the beautiful Camelback Mountains. I paid a premium to get this view only to have it blocked by two big trees. Not happy. The walk to the room is long from the parking lot. They have many golf carts on the property zipping past you on every occasion and was turned down for rides all but once.There is a sticker on the sliding door window (with a picture of a scorpion) that clearly states to keep the doors closed to keep out the desert dwellers. Upon returning to our room on a daily basis we found the door unlocked and on one occasion the door was open fully with the A/C wasting away.They used high quality materials to build with however the craftsmanship was not there. The tile abutting the front door was not level, leaving a 3/8" opening to the room. It certainly had me looking for desert dwellers and did not enjoy the mental anguish! They have a very young staff and were very apologetic,say when the bellman never showed , but offered no recourse. We were overcharged twice but coming armed with our [...]itinerary the charges were quickly reversed without further amplification. Upon checking out were were not given credit for spa treatment, but was caught in time.

Short drive from hotel
On one occasion we dined outside on premade hamburgers($18.00) and hotdogs($14.00). I understand that the hotels are in business to make a profit but dont make them hate you. I want to be a returning customer to the hotel. You can find deals on local dining in the local newspapers, which I did not see around.I may be on vacation but still need to keep up with daily events.We ate out good locally.

lovely, but too opulent for this family
This resort was breathtakingly beautiful. We arrived at 3:40 and had to wait until almost 6 for our second room to be ready. There was no convenient place to park when registering for our room, we had to park in the parking deck and take an elevator to registration. When we have stayed in rooms before with an electronic bar, we were told upon check in. Even our older kids wanted to touch and look at the items. I hate an electronic bar also, because then you lose all use of the in room refridgerator. The coffee maker was fantastic. This is a lovely lovely place, but we found the other guests unfriendly, mostly very young executives. We were only here for one night, to put us closer to the airport and it was only an 11 minute trip to the airport. This is a better couples stay then for a family. Again though breathtaking facility.

Couldn't be happier
The room was nice. I had a view of the mountains and the sunrise was perfect. The gym and pool areas were excellent and the staff couldn't have been nicer.

"Wonderful Experience"
My wife and I visit Scottsdale frequently and this is the first time we have stayed at the InterContinental Montelucia. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The pools, gym and spa were fantastic. There were quite a few children at the main pool but there also was an adult pool. Dinners at Prado were wonderful. We always sit at the bar and the bartenders made great drinks and were very attentive.
