Nestled in the heart of Arizona’s vibrant hospitality landscape, VAI Resort is poised to redefine luxury and design. Set to open its doors in late 2024 in Glendale, a part of the bustling metro Phoenix area, VAI Resort promises to captivate guests with its transformative ambiance and meticulous attention to detail.
Boasting the title of Arizona’s largest hotel property, it’s primed to become a breathtaking standout destination, utilizing the natural beauty of the Arizona landscape and the resort experience to influence every inch of its 1,100 rooms.
A Symphony of Nature and Luxury:

VAI Resort weaves the diverse elements of the region throughout its property, showcasing the desert’s natural beauty and unique character. The result? Thoughtfully and exquisitely designed rooms that offer spacious environments, where every detail has been carefully considered to cater to guests’ desires and moods.
The Visionary Behind It All:


Under the guidance of Scott Hillig, the President of Design and Development for VAI Resort, the property’s philosophy revolves around creating a unique and experiential environment. It seamlessly integrates entertainment, culinary artistry, and hospitality. From the moment guests step foot into the hotel, VAI Resort seeks to leave a lasting impression of awe and appreciation. The brand’s vision is to envelop guests in an environment that demonstrates unparalleled attention to detail, regardless of which tower or room is selected.
A Symphony of Elegance and Innovation:
Scott Hillig describes the design philosophy of VAI Resort as a “symphony of elegance and innovation with a good dose of rock n’ roll attitude.” Inspired by the rugged textures, vibrant hues, and organic forms of the desert landscape, the resort’s architecture and interior design are infused with a musical theme. Every corner resonates with rhythm and harmony, creating an integrated experience where guests can feel the energy of music in every heartbeat of the hotel. VAI Resort serves as a stage where luxury and artistry dance together.
Rooms Beyond Imagination:



The design of all hotel accommodations draws inspiration from the overarching music concept of the hotel. It showcases an array of unusual techniques and technologies that push the boundaries of traditional hotel settings. The intent is to create a harmonious blend of luxurious finishes, dimensional textures, and a palette of materials, producing an elevated and exclusive experience.
Four Distinct Towers, Four Unique Experiences:
VAI Resort boasts four distinct hotel towers, each with its own aura, offering guests a range of captivating experiences:

- Rhythm: An escape to a desert oasis featuring song lyrics woven into the design.
- VAI Villas: Offering comfort, exclusivity, and a celebration of the unifying power of music.
