Staying Power

You don’t have to be in Hollywood to live like a star. Take a tour of some of the Valley’s most luxe resorts—all of which have hosted the biggest names in music, movies, sports and politics—and their most over-the-top accommodations.

Andalusian Presidential Suite at Montelucia Resort & Spa

During a stop in Scottsdale in 2009, President Barack Obama decided to throw tradition out the door and called Montelucia Resort & Spa his home away from home. (Every president since Herbert Hoover checked in at Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa during Valley visits.) Specifically, Mr. President got cozy in the resort’s beyond-blissful Andalusian Presidential Suite, which boasts its own private pool and spa and sprawling indoor and outdoor spaces (more than 2,800 square feet, in fact). www.montelucia.com.
