Valley Ho!

Note: Originally published at the 2Modern Design Talk blog.

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!
