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.

Relaxing weekend getaway

We had an issue with small "ants" in our room. Apparently they are indegeneous to the area but they were crawling in our bed, towels and floors. We complained and were able to move to another room. Although the next room had the same problem (to a lesser degree) we were happy that the staff was able to move us quickly. However, I was a bit disasppointed that management did not offer anything to make up for the lost time, disturbance and inconvenience. I also wasn't aware that the resort was pet friendly. I have an extreme fear of dogs and while we were relaxing on the patio, a large dog appeared without a leash. I will not return to this resort because of this. If you don't mind the dogs and occasional ant, the resort is very relaxing and the beds are very comfortable!

Great Rooms

We definately enjoyed are stay at the Montelucia. However when I checked in I had asked for a special room given the fact that this was a special weekend getaway for my boyfriends birthday. Well I would have hated to see the view and location for one of the not so special rooms. Overall it was a nice room, beds were comfortable, and a patio area with a double lounge. We we unfortunately located on the first floor so limited privacy for a romantic weekend and NO view...which I requested. The tub did not drain, so they fixed that. However when I went to take a bath the following night the stopper did not work...they just disconnected the whole thing! Had issues with the TV and every night around 7:00pm when we were getting ready for dinner the turn down service would walk into the room!! Also the guest parking is not located close to any of the rooms. You have to walk the entire resort depending on your location...we were in building 11...if you are lucky you can hitch a ride with one of the gold cart dudes. I do have to say that we did get to know one of the golf cart dudes...[...].. and he was very helpful and extrememly accomodating. Resort fees of $25 per night were a joke...for what?? Not sure I would stay here again as it did not meet the expectations that I had for a first time romantic get away

Wonderful relaxation spot

This hotel had wonderful service and a very friendly staff. I traveled with my 2 adult daughters and we all shared a room. Our room was very large with 2 beds and a rollaway and we still had plenty of space. The bathroom was HUGE! with a separate shower and oversized tub. We had a large walk out patio with a roof and ceiling fan and very comfortable cushioned chairs on the patio- 1 double sized lounge and 1 large chair. The resort fee was reasonable as it included 24 hour free internet and access to spa and fitness areas even without a treatment scheduled, and free parking. The spa was the nicest I've ever been to (better than the Phonecian) with a small private pool area and deck where drinks and lunch are served, an awesome relaxation room and great locker room with access to sauna whirlpool and steam rooms. They include 20% gratuity in their bills so you don't have to hassle with bringing any tip money. Self parking was free and available just off the main entrance. We did use our car to go to Sedonna for the day and to go to downtown Scottsdale -about a 5 minute drive. The restaurants at the resort were great. Crave offers good but inexpensive breakfast and lunch items as well as wine and beer and gourmet coffee items. Prada has wonderful food and live entertainment -they had great flamingo dancers the night we were there. The bar includes outdoor firepit tables that keep you warm on cool evenings . The poolside grill was also good although the one by the adult pool was closed. We had room service one night which was very prompt.

Very nice and complete resort

Very nice hotel with a good atmosphere. Great for couples and families. Prado restaurant is very good. Prices for lunch and dinner are adequate. However, the weekend breakfast buffet at 25$ is a ripoff. Very well equiped gym.
