Most malls in Phoenix are monstrous, indoor facilities. Biltmore Fashion Park is an inside-out alternative full of upscale shops and designer outlets. All stores are in buildings facing outside rather than a series of hallways, allowing shoppers to be out in the open air rather than an air-conditioned labyrinth in a massive building. There isn't a "food court" or cheap eats as is usually a staple of malls, but rather upscale restaurants. Be prepared to expand your shopping budget for this place, as price tags are generally higher. Even if you don't care to go shopping, it's great for people-watching and sunning in the courtyard area, which is full of grass and other greenery. An underground walkway on the south end of the complex connects you to a virtual annex on the opposite side of Camelback, which houses more bars, restaurants, some shops and a movie theater amidst the Ritz Carlton and office buildings. I'm sure I'd drop a bit more money here if I were in a far more comfortable financial situation. One complaint I'd have is that the exits to Camelback or 24th Street can get tricky.
