Ripened beneath a century of warm breezes and blue skies, the grandest hotel of Hollywood’s Golden Age has returned better than ever. The Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, famed for its bold Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced architecture, sophisticated comforts and celebrated guests has recently undergone an $85 million transformation bringing back the uniquely chic allure that has captivated so many throughout its sun-soaked history.
Nestled amongst palm trees at the base of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, this much-loved resort offers exceptional accommodations from the beautiful rooms, spacious suites and iconic cottages designed to reflect the desert surroundings.
Amongst Arizona Biltmore’s 39 acres of lush gardens, you’ll find lavish wellness opportunities from the newly renovated spa to a well-equipped fitness center, two championship golf courses, tennis courts and bicycles for cruising. Seven pools offer every vibe from calm retreats and family fun to high-energy adult-only zones.
The bar scene is lively; both at the vibrant new Spire Bar, or cocktail hour at the eternally cool Wright Bar. Six dining options are available to suit all tastes. Here the past, present and future blend seamlessly in the glow of this legendary gem.
