Hotel Valley Ho

Make history with your wedding. 

Originally built in 1956, Hotel Valley Ho and its inviting pool courtyard became a hotspot for celebrities of the era. Now this former hideaway for Hollywood’s favorites recaptures the flavor of its classic mid-century design in an urban resort setting, ideal for a wedding to remember.

Couples can choose from a variety of beautiful settings for their wedding ceremony and reception, as well as for a rehearsal dinner, spa relaxation, a festive shower, and a morning-after brunch.

When it’s time for the wedding ceremony, dramatic design and the ultimate in high-tech capabilities — such as a live telecast of the event for out-of-town friends — grace the two ballrooms overlooking a beautifully landscaped courtyard. The SoHo Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 300 guests, features floor-to-ceiling frosted glass for natural light and privacy, the Sands Venue is perfect for weddings that want everything in one place with built-in patios, private bar and restrooms, and unique decor for up to 250 guests, or the grand Valley Ho Room that is ideal for events with up to 140 guests.

Outdoors, the diverse courtyard and lawn spaces are designed to satisfy the senses. Verdant landscaping, captivating water features, and towering 50-year-old palms are enhanced by Arizona sunshine in the Main Place Courtyard for up to 250 guests, the lush Palm Court for up to 300 guests, or the awe inspiring Sky Line Rooftop, atop the seven-story tower, can accommodate up to 200 guests, and offers spectacular 360-degree views of downtown Scottsdale and Camelback Mountain.

Wedding guests will love Hotel Valley Ho’s Signature Guest Rooms, with distinctive features like terrazzo tile baths behind translucent walls, 50-inch flat-screen televisions, Wi-Fi Internet, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls opening onto a private patio or balcony. Many suites feature balconies are even larger than the suites themselves, and Cabana Guest Rooms offer curtained patios overlooking the pool.

The numerous honeymoon suite and loft options offer unique features like large bathrooms and gathering spaces, oversized wrap-around patios, the ability to add extra bedrooms and many included full kitchens and private washer/dryer facilities, not to mention private bars with gourmet snacks and beverages, and a morning bar with complimentary espresso, coffee and tea.

A variety of dining options make a bridal shower, bachelor party, or family get-together even more inviting. OH Pool Bar + Cabanas is known for perfect views day and night, along with handcrafted cocktails and fresh cuisine.  Also located at the hotel is another creation of celebrated Chef Russell LaCasce — ZuZu features flavorful American cuisine with a contemporary twist, including a classic counter, chef demonstration table, wine room, scenic courtyard dining, and a private dining venue known as The Rosie Room.

When it comes to beauty treatments, the bridal party will appreciate the luxury of pre-wedding rejuvenation and relaxation at VH Spa for Vitality + Health. Private treatments in an individual or couple’s room include specialties like the Deep Tissue, Rock + Roll, and a Couple’s Massage. The bride and her girlfriends can enjoy a pre-wedding fitness or wellness classes, as well as expert makeup and hairstyling for the special day. The spa features men’s and women’s locker rooms, lounges, and saunas as well as a boutique, and a movement studio and fitness center which offer fresh-air workouts enhanced by views of the pool.

Guests who arrive early or stay late can take advantage of the hotel’s location in Downtown Scottsdale, with the best of local art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and clubs all just a short stroll away.
