VAI Resort is set to transform Arizona’s luxury hospitality landscape when it opens its doors in late 2024 with a promise to create an immersive experience that showcases the fusion of elegance and innovation while celebrating the grandeur of the desert.
With a focus on design excellence, VAI Resort’s aesthetic viewpoint draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape, incorporating rugged textures, vibrant hues, and organic forms.

Led by visionary Scott Hillig, President of Design and Development for VAI Resort, the philosophy of the property revolves around creating a unique and experiential environment. As guests step foot into the hotel, VAI Resort seeks to leave a lasting first impression of awe and appreciation. The brand’s vision is to envelop guests in an environment that demonstrates unparalleled attention to detail, with every design element carefully crafted no matter which tower or room is selected. “We have infused a musical theme throughout the resort, where every corner resonates with rhythm and harmony,” notes Hillig. “The architecture and interior design strike a chord, seamlessly blending elegant notes with unexpected surprises. It’s an integrated experience where guests can feel the energy of the music in every heartbeat of the hotel.”
