Scottsdale resort ranked among the world’s best by Travel + Leisure
The five-star InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa draws inspiration from Spain's Andalusia region to create an unforgettable Arizona experience. Situated at the foot of postcard-perfect Camelback Mountain, the resort is just minutes away from Scottsdale and Phoenix attractions such as Old Town Scottsdale and the Phoenix Zoo. But with golf, fine dining and an award-winning spa, guests settle into plenty of activities at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa.
Highlights
- Sunset Cinema series with al fresco film screenings
- Planet Trekkers Kids Club: Indoor and outdoor activities like life-size chess, treasure hunts, gaming room (Wii and X-Box) and more
- On-site Joya Spa
- Priority tee times are four area golf courses
Rooms
Thirty-five acres of lush desert landscape are the backdrop for the incomparable rooms, suites and villas at InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa. Expect poster beds, desert, pool or mountain views, private patios or balconies and the Divine Bed by Joya Spa. Flat-panel HDTVs, free Wi-Fi Internet access, luxurious sunken bathtubs and showers with dual showerheads are some of the amenities that make this resort a Scottsdale standout.
Features
While the heart and soul of the InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa comes from Andalusia, there are other influences here, too -- a restaurant inspired by Villa San Michele in Tuscany, a wedding chapel with elements of the Hotel Cipriani in Venice. The Castillo Lucena event space is accented with 16th-century palace double doors from the village of Luceno in southern Spain.
Dining
Restaurants, bars and cafes at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa represent some of the best of Scottsdale, from Lavazza coffee drinks and housemade gelato to award-winning fine dining at Prado, where the dinner menu changes daily to highlight the freshest ingredients available.
Recreation
InterContinental Montelucia Resort and Spa features five pools surrounded by palm and citrus trees and direct views of Camelback Mountain. Soak up the sun or relax in the shade of a luxury cabana.
Joya Spa provides a combination of bliss-inducing services, including spa treatments, salon services, a yoga and fitness center and global spa cuisine at Joya Terrace.

Not Worth It
When you compare rates be sure you factor in a $25 per day Resort Fee and $29 per day Valet Fee You would think that a dip in the pool would be refreshing... but it feels like bath water. Why pay extra for that?! The staff are best and are looking for tips, but how can you afford it when the management bleeds you dry/ It's like the keeper of the house character from Les Miserable!

Beware!
Notice the lower rating of value. That's because you get nickeled and dimed to death! Unfortunately, your not talking about nickels and dimes. They don't tell you about the WiFi fee that you pay because you don't know about the free pin# you were given. Plus a $25 per day resort fee. Plus $29.64 per day for a valet fee. And a 22%gratuity added to services! All of this adds up to some BIG TIME MONEY. And they give you 1ply toilet paper!!!

Couldn't be happier
The room was nice. I had a view of the mountains and the sunrise was perfect. The gym and pool areas were excellent and the staff couldn't have been nicer.

Long walk from hotel
Long walk from room to facilities. Imagine it would get old in the heat (timing is everything)! Great spa in beautiful setting. Peaceful, if not for some of the business conference attendees that were present.

How did they get five stars?
Was promised a full resort view and received a courtyard service area view. It took five days of complaining to get a beautiful change. Very few of the rooms have a beautiful view...what was the architect thinking? I have stayed in many beautiful resorts, this was not one of them. I cannot figure out the appeal. The rooms are very luxurious in a seventies spanish way, revisited and updated with luxurious materials. The staff is invisible to non-existent. Some of the staff have a surly, stuffy attitude. All in all I was not impressed. The location was the best for me, located near friends homes. The only positive is if u want a quiet hideaway with a large impressive bathroom this is your place.

Heaven on Earth
You absolutely have to stay here! I will admit that I am a very picky person, especially when it comes to hotels and restaurants. I was completely blown away by the Montelucia. Not only is this resort the most beautiful place that I have ever seen, but every single detail has been considered with attention and care. The staff was amazing! Every single person I came in contact with took time to see how I was enjoying my stay and to ask what they could do to make to make it more enjoyable. The concierge, the front desk staff, the bartenders, the wait staff... I truly got the feeling that each one of them wanted to make sure I was taken care of. It's rare to experience that level of genuine customer service. I was completely impressed. On top of all of that, the resort is gorgeous. Every corner has something new to explore. The Camelback Mountains make for a breathtaking backdrop. I have never been so relaxed in my entire life. I will recommend this resort to everyone I know and I can't wait to come back.

Not Applicable
You have to make time to see The Grand Canyon while you're there. The concierge can make arrangements for you and I strongly recommend Detours Tours. [...] (my tourguide) was fun, interactive, and genuinely interested in making sure you experienced everything Grand Canyon has to offer. You can't imagine how beautiful it is until you see it first hand. It was a long drive there, but Detours will pick you up right at the hotel lobby and you spend the entire 12 hours seeing and learning about Arizona. You can't beat it! And my suggestion is, spring for the helicopter tour. It's so worth it.
