Hotel Valley Ho is a mid-century modern landmark on Main Street in Old Town Scottsdale, with 240 rooms that retain the clean-lined aesthetic of the original 1956 design, updated with modern fixtures without sacrificing the architectural character that earned the property its landmark status. Papago Golf Club is roughly five miles south, and most featured Scottsdale courses sit within a 15-minute drive.
This is the best-located hotel in Scottsdale if you want your evenings to be as good as your mornings. You are within walking distance of the gallery district, the strongest restaurants in the city, and the Thursday evening ArtWalk. Two pools, including the OH Pool Bar, handle the afternoon decompression that a golf trip demands; the on-site spa handles post-round recovery. Dinner does not require a car, a small convenience that accumulates into a meaningful quality-of-life improvement over a multi-night stay. After rounds at TPC Scottsdale, Troon North Golf Club, or Grayhawk Golf Club, you walk back into a neighborhood with somewhere to be.
Rates run $200 to $400 per night, a design-forward hotel experience that the larger resort properties, for all their amenities, cannot match. Check rates via the link on this page.
