"The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa is nestled on 39 acres at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Considered one of the most spectacular resorts in the world, the Biltmore features 738 guest accommodations, including 78 one- and two-bedroom villas, eight swimming pools, seven tennis courts, an 18-hole putting course, and a full-service European spa, salon, and fitness center. "
All of the above is true, but it doesn't capture the essence of this historically interesting and aethetically pleasing resort. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the resort as an oasis. He succeeded. As you stroll through the lobby and hallways, pictures showing presidents and hollywood royalty grace the walls. Anyone who is anyone has stayed here, and if these walls could talk, I'm sure they would have many stories to tell.
The rooms at the Biltmore are ridiculously large and sumptuous. If you have the opportunity to stay, press for a room in one of more historical buildings. The large outdoor patios are totally worth it. Or, if you are traveling with a larger group, go for one of the amazing condos. With a full kitchen, gorgeous furniture and separate living room and bedroom, you won't feel cramped.
The spa at the Biltmore is a bit small, but this in no way takes away from the wonderful spa experience. The whirlpool in the ladies locker room is continuously cleaned and fresh towels are laid out by thoughtful attendents. Cucumber water and fresh fruit await your fingertips before you try out the steamroom. The services are wonderful as well. Try the lavender massage if you want a deeply relaxing experience. The pampering here is doesn't stop: there is always someone anticipating your every need. A total must in Arizona!
