First Look: The Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia

Big news from Arizona, where Omni Hotels & Resorts has purchased the Montelucia Resort & Spa. The resort will be reflagged under the Omni brand as the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia.

The Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia has 253  guestrooms, 38 suites and two presidential suites—all inspired, we hear, from the Andalusia region of Spain. There's also the Moroccan-inspired Joya Spa, three pools, and five restaurants.

The resort is right at the foot of Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley, and is close to the cities of Phoenix and Scottsdale. (Good news for those who want to combine some urban energy with their peaceful retreat.)

Here's a peek at what the newly renamed resort has to offer:

The outdoor pool, with a view of the mountains.

A standard guest room.

The Joya Spa's ladies lounge.

The patio of the Prado restaurant. (A top pick for al fresco dining.)

The MBar and Lounge

The Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia is located at 4949 East Lincoln Drive in Scottsdale, Arizona.
