Transport back to the 50′s, add a bit of modern and contemporary touches and a hip and cool environment, and you have the Hotel Valley Ho!

The Hotel Valley Ho is not just a hotel with a 50′s theme but rather a piece of Arizona’s history, built in 1956. This hotel was the getaway for many silver screen elites such as Ted Williams, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Jimmy Durante, and even the Natalie Wood and Rob Wagner wedding to name a few.

The hotel was fully renovated and restored to its 50′s luster back in 2005 still keeping the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design elements. But whether you love its vintage appeal or modern and contemporary style, the ambiance is perfect for travelers seeking a welcoming yet hip getaway. The property is quite lush of greens creating a nice tropical feel. The pool is centrally located surrounded by the rooms in a triangular fashion. Decked out with fresh colors and modern decor, the hotel rooms are both aesthetically and comfortably pleasing. Some of the rooms even have a bath tub in the middle of the room! Valley Ho also offers the V+H Spa and 2 dining outlets: OH Pool Bar and Cafe Zuzu.

Hotel Valley Ho is conveniently located in the downtown Scottsdale area and walking distance to plenty of galleries, restaurants, nightclubs, museums, and shopping. When your feet are tired you can take the free trolley service back! If you’re planning a trip to Scottsdale and looking for a unique and fun place with a bit a historic significance consider staying at the Hotel Valley Ho!
