When I think of historic Scottsdale I think of the Hotel Valley Ho. This is a classic that has been updated to fit into the modern world. For those not from here, this hotel reminds me of the The Standard in Downtown LA.. Whether you come here for a stay during Spring Training, for drinks in the lobby bar or on the roof, or even for poolside yoga, this is a great place to visit. Great service and a cool vibe in a classic art-deco style building. Plus, its close enough to the bar district that if necessary, you could stumble back.
All in all, the Valley Ho is a gem in the City of Scottsdale.
