Check out this amazing hotel that was saved from destruction, the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale, Arizona. Built in and designed by architect Edward L. Varney, this hotel was the setting of Hollywood actors’ Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner’s 1957 wedding reception. Now revived by Allen + Philp, it is ring-ding-i-ling beautiful again!

It is also featured in the November/December 2008 issue of Preservation magazine.








It’s amazing!!!
I stayed at the Valley Ho earlier this summer and loved it. It still has that mid-century modern style and swaggering around the pool with a Martini in your hand is respected and encouraged. There’s some detail photos up at: http://blog.buildllc.com/2008/06/23/phoenix-architecture-part-one/
