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.

Wonderful Place!

We were just there for one night, but were thrilled to be able to check in early. The room exceeded our expectations (the shower & tub were to die-for and we fell asleep outside on the 2-person chaise lounge)! The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the yoga class on Sunday morning. The only thing that would have made our stay better would have been the appearance of the sun. It was cold, rainy and windy the entire stay. We were disappointed not to be able to try out the pools.

Long walk from room to facilities. Imagine it would get old in the heat (timing is everything)! Great spa in beautiful setting. Peaceful, if not for some of the business conference attendees that were present.

I read that there was only valet parking as one issue - but when I asked they allowed us to park ourselves. It hosts weddings so there is quite a bit of parking onsite for those guests.

How did they get five stars?

Was promised a full resort view and received a courtyard service area view. It took five days of complaining to get a beautiful change. Very few of the rooms have a beautiful view...what was the architect thinking? I have stayed in many beautiful resorts, this was not one of them. I cannot figure out the appeal. The rooms are very luxurious in a seventies spanish way, revisited and updated with luxurious materials. The staff is invisible to non-existent. Some of the staff have a surly, stuffy attitude. All in all I was not impressed. The location was the best for me, located near friends homes. The only positive is if u want a quiet hideaway with a large impressive bathroom this is your place.

A week in Paradise!

We stayed in a poolside room facing Camelback Mt. The patio and view were fantastic! Every employee at the Montelucia was courteous, efficient, caring and on the ball. The room was very clean and I am rather picky about that kind of thing. The huge bathroom with dual shower heads and tub were incredible. Every aspect of the grounds, room, pool and facilities were designed with style and comfort for the traveler (vacation or business). The only downside of the place: Supposidly there is an "Adult only" pool for some peace and quiet. The pool is not labeled at all, so kids end up in that area anyway. Due to the location of our room, almost every morning that we wanted to spend a little quiet time on our patio it was interrupted by screaming and splashing kids. When we tried to escape to the "adult" pool we ran into the same problem(very annoying if you don't like kids). If there really is an adult pool like we were lead to believe, it should be enforced or marked as such.
