    Pear + Citrus Spritz
    Nicole D.

    We came to Hotel Valley Ho for an overnight staycation for our anniversary and had a really nice stay. The location is perfect to get to anything and everything. When it isn't too hot, you could walk to anywhere you want to go, or take a short uber ride to the restaurants and bars in Old Town or Fashion Square. They had valet parking or self parking for a daily fee. We were going to be coming and going, so we did self parking on the street. The property has a vibe all of its own, like you stepped back in time to old Hollywood or like you landed in Palm Springs somehow. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and everywhere you went, people were just genuinely enjoying themselves. The pools were not too crowded, granted we went midweek and in June, which is what we were looking for. I know this place can really turn it up for the pool parties and DJed evening events though. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The only hiccup really was the tv, in that it has Google Cast (previously Chromecast) and it wouldn't work with our phones for streaming services. We were going to stream Netflix but it was a no go. Reruns of the Office are always a hit anyway. The room had a coffee maker, and a fridge, but it was a mini bar, not one that you could really put things in. There are ice buckets in the room and ice machines available in the hallway if you need to keep something cold. The shower was big and the water pressure was perfect. We went to the ZuZu bar for a little bit and got two delicious drinks. I got the Pear and Citrus Spritz and they are light and not too sweet, but can go down a little too easy. My husband got the Pineapple and Citrus and it had a nice bite from the ginger beer. We are locals but like to go to the different hotels in the area and I can definitely see coming here again and recommending it to others as well.

    First time at Hotel Valley Ho but hopefully not the last! This place has such a cute retro vibe, it reminded me a lot of Palm Springs. I think you can self park but we chose to valet which was $28 for overnight. We also called about an early check in and they were able to accommodate us about an hour early which was nice. It was a hot day so we appreciated the help from the staff to bring our luggage to our room. Since we had a dog with us, they accommodated us with a spot on the first floor near the courtyard so it was easy to take her in and out from the back patio. So thoughtful! I didn't get to enjoy the food much but I had an espresso martini at the bar that was creamy and delicious. Overall, this was a great stay and I would come back!

    Calamari, so so good!

    Always love my time here. Jose at the desk is fabulous, and Seth at the pool is always such warm and welcoming! Kaylen's service with a smile is always an extra treat! Love my Virgin Bloody Mary. This is the perfect way to enjoy a lil staycation or poolside read.

    Just checked into Hotel Valley Ho and I'm already loving it. Such a cool retro hotel with serious Palm Springs vibes. Great pool, great bar, and you're right in the middle of everything Old Town Scottsdale has to offer. Looking forward to soaking it all in over the next few days.

    Review is for the pool service and spa! Upbeat pool scene with DJ on weekends. Fun atmosphere, quick pool side service. Drinks and food were good at fair prices for Scottsdale. VH spa was a pleasant experience. Friendly staff. Nice massage. Anthony was very attentive to my requests and I was very satisfied with the service. Definitely look into their Sunday and Wednesday deals! The spa pool combo was the perfect mix for a mid week break!

    Stayed here for a conference and I was throughly impressed by this hotel. Check in was at 4pm but I arrived from the airport at 10am and they were able to get a room ready for me by 12:30pm which I was impressed by. All the common areas of the hotel are beautiful and clean. I arrived on Sunday and the pool is open to non hotel guest for a fee and definitely more lively on the weekends. My room was on the ground floor right by the pool and was pretty loud Sunday night but wasn't too much of a bother. Only issue was that I had trouble locking my patio door but the hotel staff were able to assist with that easily. The room its self was very nice. The bath tub was huge and I liked that it had a separate shower and toilet room. The bed was comfy and the room was clean. I liked all the closet space and that there was a clothes steamer. All the staff were wonderful and friendly. Room service was easy and quick. The fries are amazing! I can't wait to come back here in the future for another conference.

    A quick weekend trip to Phoenix brought me to Hotel Valley Ho. Located in Scottsdale's Old Town, it is walkable to restaurants, shops, and the Southwest museum. If you want to stay in, you will find mid-century modern vibes, from the pool to the hotel dining area. Step back into the early 60s, and enjoy! Separate review for dining at Zuzu's.

    Lovely resort/ hotel stay in Old Town Scottsdale... perfectly located with walking distance to explore Scottsdale. Room was spacious, clean and I appreciated the anticipation of amenities (example garment steamer). The pool was closed this time of the year as the area is transformed into a roller rink for the holidays but the hot tub was open and clean with ample towels. The grounds are well cared for with ample citrus trees and well manicured lawns. The hotel is tastefully decorated for the holidays and overall a great vibe. Customer service was great.., staff were super friendly and helpful during the stay. Would definitely stay here again.

    I came to Arizon for my company's division team meeting and was assigned here for our stay. It was a sweet 20 mins drive from the airport and was automatically greeted by some of the staff when I got out of the car. The staff at the front desk were super friendly and helpful for my check in. The room set up is beautiful and I was assigned to the building all the way in the back, which I didn't mind because I figured that would be away from any of the additional noises that I may have. The only thing I didn't like was the curtains how it didn't really close all the way. I had to switch beds in the room because one of the blue lights outside snuck through the curtains and kept hitting my face. We had dinner/cocktail on the roof and it was BEAUTIFUL! Food was great, drinks were refreshing, the servers that had all sorts of hors d'oeuvres were friendly and fantastic. Beautiful scenery, tasty food, and friendly/professional staff. Other than that, everything was fine. I would recommend stopping at the restaurant there because I had their smash burger...and it was REALLY good! The sauce was delicious and presentation was there! I didn't get the chance to take a picture because I was with my new job/boss and I didn't want everyone to "wait" on me LOL.

    Self-care Sunday
    Emma N.

    I came here for a spa day with a friend and we both had reservations for their Self Care Sunday package which was a 60 minute massage and one mini service of your choice (foot reflexology, facial, full body scrub). They provided complimentary valet parking, and even brought my purse up to the spa when I realized I had left it in my car. The spa itself was very nice, and after checking in we were given lockers which included large cozy robes and slip on rubber sandals. Alexa was very helpful and also helped to get my purse delivered to me from the valet staff. We were both taken back for our appointments pretty quickly. Nyah was my technician and she did an incredible job with my massage and foot reflexology. During the session, there were heated blankets, heated neck warmers and essential oil scents. I felt so relaxed and enjoyed every second of it! When my session was finished, I was given a complimentary glass of champagne and full access to their spa and pool amenities. My friend and I did enjoy a few hours by the pool and ordered from the bar outside. We ordered chips, salsa and guacamole which were delicious and also ordered drinks. I tried the Oh Spritz which was good. This spa did have a sauna, but we didn't go into it. They have a few pools and hot tubs too. I would definitely come back here for their spa services, especially the Self Care Sunday deal, since the services are discounted.

    We really enjoyed being here! We were in the Rosie room for a three day conference and the room itself is adorable. Zuzu the restaurant has a retro vibe and kind remind me of being at a classy Vegas pool side in the 70's...anyway the style of the restaurant is on point, the service was fabulous and we love the food. I saw quite a few tables of people meeting for special occasions (I was pretty jealous that I didn't get to try any of the desserts)...there's always next time. I was told the pool is pretty fun during summer time, and besides that I'm excited to go back soon.

    I had an amazing experience from start to finish at Hotel Valley Ho. I called ahead the day before to ask about an early check-in since I was arriving very early. To my surprise, when I showed up at 8:30 a.m., my room was already ready. That alone impressed me, but what really stood out was how friendly and courteous Diana at the front desk was she made the whole process seamless. The hotel itself is stunning. The mid-century modern design is done so well, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. My room was immaculate housekeeping clearly does an excellent job. Bar ZuZu is a fun spot to hang out and people-watch. I didn't eat there much, but I did try the empanadas, which were fantastic. I also have to give credit to one of the staff members I didn't catch his name, but he seemed to be either the bar or pool manager. He was incredibly friendly, always smiling, and seemed to be working long hours without ever losing his positive attitude. The gym is small and a little tight, but it has all the equipment you need for a solid workout. As for the pool, I spent Friday at the main one and loved the vibe upbeat but still relaxed and chill. Saturday was a bit busier, since the pool is open to non-hotel guests for a fee. Personally, I wish it were reserved for hotel guests only, but I understand why they do it. All the staff at the pool were amazing. All in all, my stay was fantastic. I absolutely loved the hotel, can't think of a single real downside, and I plan on coming back very soon.

    Ask the Community - Hotel Valley Ho

    Is the property clothing optional as per Yelp?

    100% No. Weird that yelp has it listed like that

    Would you recommend booking a room in "The Tower" or a room in the original hotel?

    I have stayed in both, kinda depends on what you want. If you get a Camelback facing tower room you can see some beautiful sunsets and they have a little balcony you can watch from. It's also closer to the restaurant and Oh! Pool. If you stay in… Read more

    Are dogs allowed? service animals? Or emotional support dogs?

    Yes! We saw pets and service animals at the hotel.

    Is it ok to open carry my firearm at your hotel?

    Weekend drink specials? How much to attend just day pool pass?

    I believe the day pass is like $65. Its not one of the cheaper options but I believe its because its a relatively small resort.

    Is there a free parking option or is it all paid valet?

    You can park for free on the street. It's near the hotel and a very short walk.

    What type of room has the tub out in the open? I really don’t think I would like that.

    It's a regular room and wifey/I used the tub and liked it! 🛀 :)

    Does any of the rooms come with a jetted tub ? If so, which room type?

    No on the jetted tubs when I stayed there I asked for a room with jetted tubs I was advised they don't have jetted tubs

    Do you have to have a room booked to use the pool/pool parties? How much does it cost to just go to the pool party?

    The main pool area is reserved for registered hotel guests only on Saturday's and Sunday's between May and September. Outside of those days and dates, you are able to visit without being a guest. Additionally, you can gain access anytime by… Read more

    So if I book a room, say, from Friday- Sunday... do I have access to both pools on Saturday? Some reviews say that even though youre a guest at the hotel, you arent able to use one of the pools on Saturday?

    Yes, registered guests have access to all the hotel outlets and amenities.

    Does anyone have experience with the spa aspect at this location?

    Sure. You are welcome to reach out to our... Spa Director - Josh Bredimus at jbredimus@hotelvalleyho.com… Read more

    What time is check in?

    I believe they give a time on their website, but I've arrived as early as 8:30 am from flying from the East Coast and I've gotten my room in as little as an hour and a half later. They are very accommodating and generous.

    Is this kid friendly? Planning to go to AZ during spring break Update: we are thinking around april…

    The hotel is not 100% kid friendly, but it's the best place to stay in Phoenix. When swimming, I recommend using the back pool. It has a wading pool for kids and much quieter than the front pool that has a DJ and people drinking.… Read more

    Would you bring your kids? Age 16?

    Yes! There are for some reason a lot of bike riding around this area. I think you can rent the bikes or they are a free activity. But there 2 different pools on the grounds. Shopping is very close.

    I read about the pool parties on weekends that can be loud. What part of this hotel can we request to be put in that will be a bit quieter? Thanks!

    The entertainment at the main pool is between 1:30pm and 5:30pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. We do offer two different pool environments. If you are looking to be away from the main pool area, we would suggest requesting a room in buildings… Read more

    Is the pool area a constant party atmosphere?

    Just on the weekend! But it was worth it to us

    Is this suitable for a family or only adults?

    On weekends in the summer, we host pool parties at our OH Pool that are geared more towards adults, but we offer a second pool area, OHasis, that is typically the quieter area.

I booked a bungalow in the retreat area to have access to the 2 other temperature regulated pools. It was beautiful the retreat area is very nice, it's further away from Weft & Warp and the Turquoise pool so it quiet and relaxing. Maydeline at the Spa was very helpful and very in touch with guest needs. One step ahead everytime. Colin really saved the day with making sure we had everything we needed. Brennan was also really helpful at breakfast and bringing us water all the way to the retreat pool. There was a minor hiccup with requesting ice while we were there but they did take care of it and apologized the next day for it not being done promptly, the acknowledgement was great and it really was such a minor thing.

    This hotel is a true luxury resort in Scottsdale. The entire theme is mid-century modern and all…read morethe rooms feature chairs and pieces by famous furniture designers like Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. The hotel is inspired by the colorful and folk art influenced works of renowned mid-century modern architect and designer Alexander "Sandro" Girard. The hotel's bio says he was the main source of inspiration for the design of the Andaz Scottsdale. The property is beautiful to walk around, with all the landscaping, flowers and trees; some of them are marked with what kind of plant they are. There are century plants and aloe and various cacti. The fitness center is located at the spa. It has windows which open up onto the pool, which is a more private pool than the main pool. The staff is outstanding. Savannah, who ran the front desk on my most recent visit, is absolutely amazing and really helped with any questions or small issues with my stay. The restaurant is wonderful for the hotel breakfast. I recommend having cocktails there too. You can see a beautiful sunset from the bar. I love the open design of this hotel resort because it makes you feel like you're in the countryside and you can admire the beautiful views of Camelback as you walk around the grounds and hear birds chirping. It's so relaxing. Parking is easy and you can usually find a spot right outside your casita room as the parking circles the hotel. Toiletries in the room smell so good! Lavender with sea salt. It's really like staying in a spa! One of my favorite experiences at this hotel was taking a late afternoon outdoor class at the spa/gym on the large lawn where we did stretching/light resistance training with the the sunset behind Camelback Mountain as the backdrop. It was glorious. I definitely recommend trying one of the classes or "experiences" if you stay here. Some of them you have to pay extra for, but a few of them are included with your room rate. At first glance the hotel interiors and architecture seem extremely simple and minimal, but then you realize it's actually all a piece of mid-century modern inspired art. It's really fun to walk around and admire all the understated design details at this hotel.

I had a beautiful sunset view of Camelback from my room, and I loved the layout, with the large sliding barndoor to separate the sleeping area from the bathroom /coffee area. My bed itself was like sleeping on a pillow because it was so soft. I thought it would be too soft but it was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a long time! So so comfy! The hotel has a ton of amenities, with a roof top pool, restaurant and seating area too. I did use the fitness center while I was there, although the A/C wasn't working in that part of the building so it was definitely a "hot" workout session. While there is a charge for parking, it was underground and super convenient to access your hotel floor so if you checked in via the app, there didn't need to be any interaction with the front desk/ lobby at all. The lobby itself is huge with a few different seating areas and where you can find the bar /restaurant as well as a small gift shop by the front desk. The hotel was clean, modern, conveniently located and had everything I needed. I'd happily return here and hopefully for more than one night to enjoy more of what they have to offer!

With it' stunning mountains, palm trees and ritzy houses, Scottsdale is gorgeous. Bonus points for only being about 20 minutes from the airport. The hotel itself is beautiful with a ton of common areas to enjoy the sunset and scenery. It was a little chilly so the number of outdoor fire pits were very much appreciated. I was put in a room in the 17the or 19th building. I got lost a couple of times as it gets quite dark and the property is a bit of a maze. My friends were closer to the entrance. My room was nice but I felt it needed a bit of an update. Unfortunately I didn't receive my member benefits. I think this is a good resort for meeting up with a group or family, though there were plenty of couples while we were there. I didn't pay a ton for our stay which was good because I didn't really consider it a luxury property. A few things to note: the convenience store is only open till 6pm so plan accordingly. They will take you in a golf cart to your room. The pool is heated in the winter. Uber only takes a few minutes to come get you.

Service was, however, subpar for a resort of this type. Front desk was inattentive and did not react as one would expect when we found larvae in the sheets and on the wall! No urgency and no empathy. Bugs in the sheets is not insignificant but was treated that way. The spa had a great vibe with a nice rooftop pool, wonderful amenities and very attentive attendants. Facials and body scrub were amazing! Massages were not good. Hit or miss just like the entire resort. Definitely not at the level of the other local resorts.

I invited four girlfriends to join me, and each of them booked their own rooms. Unfortunately, after spending four days at the property, I can confidently say this was one of the most disappointing luxury hotel experiences I've ever had. The problems started at check-in. The front desk associate barely engaged with me, offered no overview of the property, amenities, or resort experience, and didn't ask whether it was my first visit. When I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday, there wasn't even a simple "Happy Birthday." I was handed a key and what turned out to be a property map, with no explanation whatsoever. My next stop was the concierge desk to inquire about pool cabanas. I was simply told they were sold out. No alternatives were offered, no waitlist was mentioned, and no effort was made to assist. Instead, I was told to look at an outside website myself. At a luxury resort, isn't the concierge's role to help guests find solutions and make arrangements? When I later asked if the resort did anything special for birthday guests, the concierge emailed me a list of items I could purchase. That response perfectly summarized the level of hospitality we experienced. The room itself was another disappointment. It felt outdated and in need of renovation, hardly what one would expect from a luxury property. Ironically, when I later visited the pool and asked an attendant about cabanas, she immediately offered to place me on a waitlist in case of cancellations--an option the concierge never bothered to mention. The following morning, I spoke with a manager, Alley, about my experience. She apologized and offered a $100 food and beverage credit, which I appreciated. However, when I returned to my room, I discovered something far more concerning: one of the pillows had visible mold on it. Since I don't sleep with pillows, I hadn't noticed it the first night. As I looked closer, I found stains on the bedding, pillows, lampshade, and even areas of the room that clearly had not been properly cleaned. Housekeeping came and changed the sheets and pillowcases, but shockingly left behind the actual moldy pillow. At that point, this had moved far beyond a service issue and into a cleanliness and health concern. I reported everything again to management. The additional response was a $50 credit. At this point, the property had failed in virtually every area that defines a luxury hotel: guest service, concierge support, cleanliness, attention to detail, and problem resolution. My friends who booked rooms experienced similar frustrations with both customer service and housekeeping. We ultimately spent much of our time dining at restaurants off property and even rented a cabana at another resort because our experience at The Phoenician was so disappointing. For a stay that cost me over $2,000, offering a total of $150 in credits felt completely out of touch with the severity of the issues. The amount wasn't the problem, it was the lack of accountability and genuine concern. I rarely leave negative reviews, but travelers should know that this property did not deliver anything close to the luxury experience it advertises. Between the poor service, moldy pillow, cleanliness concerns, and overall lack of hospitality, I cannot recommend The Phoenician. I will also be filing a complaint through Marriott Bonvoy regarding my experience. Luxury hotels are defined by service, attention to detail, and how they handle problems when they arise. Unfortunately, The Phoenician failed on all three.

    I just wanted to send a quick note about my recent visit to Canal Club this past Saturday…read more I arrived around 11:00 a.m. for a little staycation day and had a wonderful experience. I was first helped by Mary, one of the bartenders, and she was fantastic. She recommended a drink called the Sin & Society, which was amazing, and she also suggested the Cubano, which was a 10/10. I spent some time enjoying the atmosphere at the bar before heading out to the pool. The pool area was great, but shortly after arriving, I was informed it would be closing at 3:00 p.m. for a private event. While I was a little disappointed, I completely understood and headed back inside to the bar. When I returned, the bar was much busier than before. I learned that all pool orders were now being directed inside, and it quickly became apparent just how much additional work that created. I noticed receipts constantly printing, orders piling up, and a significant increase in guests all at once. What stood out to me was how quickly Mary jumped into action. Not only was she handling the bar, but she was also managing the influx of pool orders. It seemed incredibly overwhelming, and I didn't see anyone step in to assist her. Despite that, she handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and grace. Even though it was obvious she had a tremendous amount on her plate, she never let it show in her interactions with guests. I even overheard other guests commenting on how bad they felt seeing so many orders come in at once and how impressed they were with how she was managing it all. I simply wanted to give credit where credit is due. Mary provided exceptional service, and she played a huge role in making my day enjoyable. Employees like her deserve recognition, and I hope her hard work does not go unnoticed.

The pool was open till 11pm daily, and there was lots of lounge seating out there. Plenty of seating in the lobby too, as well as snacks and drinks sold on site 24-hours a day. My room was awesome and had everything one would need for a comfortable stay, including clean bedding and fluffy pillows, a closet with hangers, safe, iron and ironing board, mini fridge, microwave, desk, lounge seat with ottoman, numerous lights/lamps, multiple outlets conveniently located for charging my phone, bathroom amenities, soft towels of various sizes, hairdryer, full size body length mirror, temperature control with strong and effective AC unit, and a large flat screen TV. I was able to log into apps like Netflix and HBO Max to watch some of my favorite shows while away from home. They charge for hotel parking, but free street parking was available right in front of the hotel everyday during my recent stay, with a 3-hour limit. Around the corner, on East 3rd Ave, I found plenty of street parking that did not have a time limit, so I was able to leave my rental car there overnight no problem. Also, the location is in close proximity to awesome businesses and attractions in Old Town Scottsdale. So it's an easy walk to great restaurants for grabbing a meal or to just explore the area if you're a tourist.

Overall we had a good experience. Some key positive takeaways were: The location was excellent. A short walk to old town Scottsdale, with plenty of great food and bar options. We also did some window shopping the night we arrived and then some actual shopping the next morning. They decorate for Christmas and have live music and a bar/restaurant which was very convenient for us as we made our way back to the hotel after dinner for some live music and a nightcap. The staff were all very friendly, and the room remained very quiet even though it was fairly booked. Some key negative takeaways were: They have a handful of parking spaces available at ground level but if you want to ensure you'll have parking, you have to pay for it in addition to your room fee. I believe it was $20. The parking garage is under the hotel with elevator access so pricey but convenient. The room itself wasn't anything super modern or fancy, but it was nice enough. The bed was comfy. The shower however had no anti slip pattern on the floor and with just water it was incredibly slick. I nearly fell twice even while holding onto the railing. Like I said overall it was a great experience, and we would happily stay here again.
