During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
Scottsdale may be obsessed with art featuring lonesome cowboys and solemn Indians, but this boldly designed museum makes it clear that patrons of contemporary art are also welcome here. Cutting-edge art, from the abstract to the absurd, fills the galleries, with exhibits rotating every few months. In addition to the main building, there are several galleries in the adjacent Scottsdale Center for the Arts, which also has a pair of Dale Chihuly art-glass installations. The museum shop is full of beautiful items, most of which will fit in your suitcase.7374 E. Second St., Scottsdale. tel. 480/994-ARTS. www.smoca.org. Admission $7 adults, $5 students, free for children 15 and under; free on Thurs. Tues-Wed and Fri-Sat 10am-5pm; Thurs 10am-8pm; Sun noon-5pm. Bus: 41, 50, or 72. Also accessible via Scottsdale Trolley shuttle bus.
Cosanti
This complex of cast-concrete structures served as a prototype and learning project for architect Paolo Soleri's much grander Arcosanti project, currently under construction north of Phoenix (see "En Route to Northern Arizona," later in this chapter). It's here at Cosanti that Soleri's famous bells are cast, and most weekday mornings you can see the foundry in action. Visit between 9:30 and 12:30 for the best chance of seeing bronze bells being poured.
Arizona Doll & Toy Museum
This small museum is located in the historic Stevens House on Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix. The miniature classroom peopled by doll students is a favorite exhibit. With dolls dating from the 19th century, this is a definite must for doll collectors.
The Wyndham Buttes Resort
Located only 3 miles from Sky Harbor Airport, this resort makes the most of its craggy hilltop location, and although some people complain that the freeway in the foreground ruins the view, the rocky setting and desert landscaping leave no doubt you're in the Southwest. The only other resorts in the area with as much of a desert feel are Boulders and Four Seasons, both of which are quite a bit more expensive than this resort. From the cactus garden, stream, waterfall, and fishpond inside the lobby to the circular restaurant and free-form swimming pools, every inch of this resort is calculated to take your breath away. The pools (complete with waterfalls) and four whirlpools (one of which is the most romantic in the valley) are the best reasons to stay here. Guest rooms are stylishly elegant. The city-view rooms are a bit larger than the hillside-view rooms, but second-floor hillside-view rooms have patios. Unfortunately for fans of long soaks, most bathrooms have only three-quarter-size tubs. The Top of the Rock restaurant snags the best view around, and sunset dinners are memorable.Facilities: 3 restaurants (New American/Southwestern, American, bar and grill); 3 lounges; 2 pools; 4 tennis courts; volleyball courts; exercise room; access to nearby health club; spa services; 3 Jacuzzis; sauna; bike rentals; concierge; business center; room service; massage; dry cleaning, executive-level rooms.
Hotel San Carlos
If you don't mind staying in downtown Phoenix with the convention crowds, you'll get good value at this historic hotel. Built in 1928 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the San Carlos provides that touch of elegance and charm missing from other downtown choices. Unfortunately, bedrooms are rather small by today's standards, and the decor needs updating. If you're up for a splurge, check out the suites, which are named for celebrities that stayed here in the hotel's heyday.
Cave Creek Tumbleweed Motel
Located in the heart of rowdy Cave Creek, the valley's wildest and most western community, this little motel is nothing fancy, but it still seems to stay packed for much of the year. Be sure to book early. Although the guest rooms have a bit of western character, the popularity of this place is due in large part to the fun atmosphere of surrounding saloons and cowboy steakhouses. Although it's at least a 30-minute drive from here to Phoenix, the desert is a whole lot closer here than it is to Phoenix and Scottsdale's budget motels.
