Mid-century modern getaway in downtown Scottsdale
Relax, play, indulge -- orders easily filled in Scottsdale's mid-century modern getaway. A 2005 renovation artfully restored this beauty to hipness once enjoyed by Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe, and other glamorous Hollywood types. Six two-story buildings and a seven-story tower wrap around an hourglass and martini glass-shaped pool. Guests get pampered or stay fit at VH Spa. They also drink down libations at the Oh Pool Bar. Hungry? Get served at legendary Trader Vics or the signature Cafe ZuZu.
Highlights
  • Exemplary mid-century modern decor
  • Complimentary morning espresso and coffee bar
  • An hourglass and martini glass-shaped pool

In studios, Philippe Starck-designed tubs sit behind curtains for luxurious TV viewing. Cabana rooms include a double-size cabana poolside patio. Mini-bars and wireless Internet access are available (fees apply). Guests can indulge in a Tower suite with full kitchen and dining area, plasma-screen TV, iPod satellite, complimentary shoeshine, and available personal shopper (fees apply).

The downtown Scottsdale location is hard to beat. At the hotel itself, the meticulous playful design promotes relaxation complimented by the Oh Pool Bar + Cabanas and full-service VH Spa and 24-hour fitness center.

Terrific Couples Get Away Weekend

My wife and I traveled over to Phoenix and met another couple from Texas. We had a great time. The hotel is very unique but still comfortable. The rooms are spacious and the location is ideal. We walked to breakfast in old Scottsdale each morning. Even ZuZU, the hotel restaurant, was great. Having stayed in the traditional Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott type properties many, many times. This is a great fresh stay that will stand out!

Valley HO!

This is a nice hotel that tries to be a resort, and tries hard, but doesn't quite get there. It has a spa and a nice pool, but it still feels like a hotel. It has that 50's SoCal Art deco vibe. Could use some fresh paint on the grounds. The room was excellent. Big. Great bathroom, always key. I went for the recent Scottsdale Auto auction, so prices may have been a little higher than usual. Paid around $190. This is the MOST that I would pay. Good for a short, 2-3 day stay in town for an event. But not as a destination itself. Smack in old town scottsdale, so great location.

Would stay again, loved it!

We did not get the room that was stated on our itinerary, but after going to the front desk and stating our problem (and my husband in his assertive voice) we got the room we signed up for.

AMAZING

This was the nicest Hotel I've ever been to. Very cool mid-century look with the most modern amenities. Olympic size heated pool. The best food at Cafe Zu-Zu. Check it out next time you are in Phoenix Arizona.
