Swim In One Of The Best Hotel Pools In America At An Impressive Arizona Hotel

Soak up the warm Arizona sun and take a dip in one of the most iconoclastic pools at Hotel Valley Ho in the Southwestern U.S. city of Scottsdale, located around 8 miles from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (with Phoenix being so close, it's a perfect place to add to your visit). Named one of the 10 Best Hotel Pools in the U.S. by USA Today, this mid-century resort makes for an ideal getaway. Plus, depending on your mood, you get two pools to choose from.

Hang out at the OH Pool, designed for the ultimate in relaxation. Bring the gang to sit poolside with you or rent a private cabana or daybed. There are plenty of seating areas for your whole party. Share a street taco platter or savory nachos. Pair it with one of their heavenly cocktails like "It's Always Sunny Margarita" or a "Berry Lemonade" made with Haku vodka. Relax in the hot tub, read a book, or do nothing at all. On the weekends, listen to the DJs spinning your favorite tunes as you rock out to the beat from March to September. When the sun goes down, gather around the firepit with your best buddies and order up some delicious fare from ZuZu's. In season, Hotel Valley Ho offers day passes to OH Pool for your convenience. 

If laps are your thing, head to the OHasis Pool and challenge yourself to your personal best. Sip a refreshing cocktail and munch on a few snacks in your comfy lounge chair as you "ahhhhh" away the afternoon.

Hotel Valley Ho has been a favorite in Old Town Scottsdale since 1956 as an escape for the rich and famous. Completely refurbished in 2005 with a new tower added, Hotel Valley Ho remains true to its retro-chic beginnings. With its bright gold décor and mid-century furnishings, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time to the 1950s. Will the famous Rat Pack suddenly make an appearance? Guest rooms feature the latest amenities like pillow-top beds, designer bath accessories, and mini-bars with floor-to-ceiling windows and private patios or balconies.

Enjoy a quick bite at ZuZu's, the lobby restaurant and bar that features contemporary American fare and hand-crafted cocktails. Or dine al fresco on the patio under the swaying palms. ZuZu's is open for brunch, dinner, and happy hour. Enjoy the sounds of live music at ZuZu's on certain Friday and Saturday nights from 7 to 10 p.m. 

You can work out in the hotel's 24/7 fitness center and get pampered at the full-service VH spa. Indulge in a wellness ritual like the signature facial, hot stone massage, or other rejuvenating treatments. Then, finish it off with a dip in the chronotherapy sauna. For something truly special, make plans to dine at a Chef Roulette extravaganza, designed by Executive Chef Russell LaCasce that features six courses, superbly matched with wine or cocktails. All of these activities, events, and more are just some of the memorable extras waiting for you at Hotel Valley Ho.
