Ho Ho Holiday Retreat: Hotel Valley Ho, Scottsdale, AZ

Re-opening this month, the Hotel Valley Ho reminds me of a desert resort where the Rat Pack could have hung out in the celebrity hey day of Vegas or Palm Springs. This Scottsdale landmark is hip again, baby! Originally built in 1956, it was a popular destination for Bing, Bogey, Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe, Ted Williams, Betty Grable, Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner.

Now, the renovated spa/resort recaptures the flavor of its classic mid-century design in a new urban resort setting with chic hotel rooms. Plus, they’ve added five floors of elegant two-story lofts, one and two-bedroom condos, and exclusive penthouses in the residential tower.

Don’t miss the Café ZuZu for flavorful comfort food, Oh Pool Bar + Cabanas and the beautifully appointed VH Spa. Great Scottsdale shopping, arts and nightlife are all just a stroll away.

The hotel offers a variety of online special packages.
