When the desert heat calls for a stylish escape without the hassle of travel, Hotel Valley Ho offers the ultimate staycation just steps from the buzz of Downtown Scottsdale. This beloved local gem pairs vintage cool with fresh, modern luxury, making it the kind of place where you can check out without leaving town. With newly renovated rooms, stylish poolside vibes, indulgent spa treatments, and inventive dining experiences, Hotel Valley Ho makes it easy to unwind, recharge, and enjoy a staycation that feels anything but ordinary.
For locals craving a luxe getaway with personality, Hotel Valley Ho in Downtown Scottsdale brings together style, comfort, and serious fun. This historic icon has just unveiled a major room renovation in its original wings, giving staycationers a fresh reason to book a night (or two).
Inspired by Arizona’s iconic cotton-candy skies, the new rooms feature terrazzo countertops, soft pink and blue tones, custom mid-century furniture, and updated bathrooms with enhanced lighting. Add in the Lutron system that lets you tailor the lighting and temperature to your vibe, and you’ve got a room that feels like your own private slice of retro-modern heaven. Want to take things up a notch? Suites in The Tower offer a more contemporary upgrade, complete with spacious living rooms, fully appointed kitchens, and dramatic balcony views.
The entire property is packed with thoughtful touches—private patios or balconies with every room, Red Flower bath amenities, a stocked mini-bar, complimentary morning coffee, floor-to-ceiling glass that lets Scottsdale’s sunshine pour in, and no resort fee. And if you book at least seven days ahead, you can snag up to 20 percent off with the Advance Purchase Rate, which includes a possible room upgrade at check-in. But lounging in a gorgeous room is only the beginning. Weekends heat up with DJs spinning poolside at the vibrant OH Pool, Friday through Sunday, where you can book a cabana or daybed and sip rotating cocktails hosted by Tito’s and Don Julio (to name a few) while DJ Pulse and Adrian Michaels bring the energy all summer long.
When it’s time to slow down, VH Spa makes unwinding feel like an art form. Book a Sunday Self-Care session and indulge in a 60-minute massage or facial, followed by a bonus 30-minute treatment—like a foot reflexology or aromatherapy scrub—and a celebratory glass of bubbly. You’ll also get access to the chromotherapy saunas, fitness center, and both pools, all for $175. For a little extra cosmic insight, try the new Astrology Vibe Check with Monica of Noonlit Sage, available on select days of the week. Her personalized birth chart readings help you tap into your energetic blueprint, offering guidance for everything from relationships to career and self-growth.
When hunger strikes, make a reservation at ZuZu and try something unforgettable: Chef Roulette. Executive Chef Russell LaCasce serves up six off-menu courses designed to surprise and delight, often with inventive pairings like Nashville hot chicken and buttered popcorn ice cream or scallops with foie gras and citrusy umami sauce. It’s refined, unexpected, and fully interactive—the kind of dinner you’ll be talking about long after the final bite.
Hotel Valley Ho nails the balance between laidback cool and elevated indulgence. With its refreshed rooms, indulgent spa experiences, buzzy weekend events, and one-of-a-kind dining, this Scottsdale staple is making it easier than ever for locals to escape without going far.
