Nestled amongst 39 acres at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa offers a luxurious setting in which to enjoy the area's multitude of entertainment opportunities.  Boasting eight swimming pools, seven tennis courts, a full-service European Spa, Salon, and Fitness Center, an 18-hole putting course, and of course, not one but two adjacent 18-hole PGA Golf Courses, the Arizona Biltmore has more than enough to both keep you busy having fun and help you relax your cares away.

Previously known as the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, this charming historic landmark originally opened in 1929 and is the only existing hotel the world with a Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced design, inspired by consulting architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who collaborated with former student Albert Chase McArthur.  Thoughout the years the Arizona Biltmore Hotel underwent numerous restorations, renovations, additions, and improvements, but has always retained most of its original design and charm.  Rechristened the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in the late 1990s, it now offers modern conveniences and amenities with the flavor of its history woven throughout the resort.

When you stay at the Arizona Biltmore, you'll also find yourself in very close proximity to some fabulous shopping, excellent restaurants, and upscale nightlife, and if enjoying the outdoors is your thing, there are several terrific hiking trails close by, and many other ways to enjoy the desert setting and climate, from horseback riding, to jeep tours, hot air balloon rides, and much more.

The distinctive influence of Frank Lloyd Wright is evidenced in the interior design of the Arizona Biltmore Resort's 738 guest accommodations.  Mission-style furnishings and textiles in desert palettes of beige, sand and ivory dress the rooms.  1930s style lamps bring a western flair to the decor while reinforcing the period in which the hotel was built. The spacious rooms feature well-stocked mini-bars, a working desk with two chairs, two telephones equipped with voice-mail and speed dialing; marble baths and double sinks, hairdryers, make-up mirror and scale.
