  • Apparently upwards of $70 million dollars was spent a few years back to restore this venerable property back to its mid-century grandeur. This hotel oozes retro cool and it's easily the most interesting hotel I've stayed at for a very long time. Where else could you find a 60's style aluminum Christmas tree and open fireplace in the lobby? The rooms are good sized and feature a king size platform bed and black leather chaise lounge. The bed was a bit too soft for my taste, something my back did not appreciate. The sliding glass doors, which open wide to create a great breezeway (vital in the warmer months) leads out to spacious balcony lounge. Although the view from this particular room was that of an empty lot, the space itself is great and has decent privacy. In a nod the the Mad Men-esque nature of this hotel, there is a martini mixing station next to the TV. Fully stocked mini bar, single serving coffee machine and flat screen TV round out the in-room amenities. The bathroom features separate shower and bath, the latter being wide and deep which is perfect for me (I'm 6'2"). Although there isn't a door to the bathroom area (the toilet, however, has a pocket door), frosted glass separating the rooms offers some level privacy. The rooms here (particularly the ones with the Phillipe Starck bathtub literally in the middle) are not designed for people who are bashful. Although a bit chilly while I was there, I did hang out at the pool for a bit. It's an expansive area with two hot tubs and a waterfall "grotto". There is also a poolside bar serving all the usual suspects. The Mai Tai was overly sweet (go to Trader Vic's for a correctly made one), but the John Daly (think Arnold Palmer--lemonade and iced tea--spiked with vodka) is fantastic. I did not eat at Cafe ZuZu, but the menu looked interesting and there seemed to be quite a few people there at both breakfast and lunch. Valet parking is a bit of a ripoff at $14 per night. You are better served either finding street parking on Main or using the the lot near the on-property Trader Vic's. If I ever find myself in the greater Phoenix area, I will definitely come back to the Valley Ho.
