During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Taliesin West
Frank Lloyd Wright fell in love with the Arizona desert and, in 1937, built Taliesin West as a winter camp that served as his home, office, and school. Today, the buildings of Taliesin West are the headquarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and School of Architecture.Tours explain the campus buildings and include a general introduction to Wright and his theories of architecture. Wright believed in using local materials in his designs, and this is much in evidence at Taliesin West, where local stone was used for building foundations. With its open-walled buildings and patio areas, Taliesin West also showcases Wright's ability to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces.Expanded Insight Tours ($16-$22), behind-the-scenes tours ($45), guided desert walks ($20), apprentice shelter tours ($30), and night hikes ($25) are also available at certain times of year. Call ahead for schedule information.In downtown Scottsdale, you'll find Wright Downtown, 7079 E. Fifth Ave. (tel. 480/990-7710), a shop that sells reproductions of Wright designs and also has lots of books about the architect.
Arizona Historical Society Museum in Papago Park
This museum, at the headquarters of the Arizona Historical Society, focuses its well-designed exhibits on the history of central Arizona. Temporary exhibits on the lives and works of the people who helped shape this region are always highlights of a visit. An interesting permanent exhibit features life-size statues of everyday people from Arizona's past (a Mexican miner, a Chinese laborer, and so on). Quotes relate their individual stories, while props reveal what items they might have traveled with during their days in the desert.
CrackerJax Family Fun & Sports Park
Two miniature-golf courses are the main attraction here, but you'll also find a driving range, a professional putting course for grown-up golfers, batting cages, go-cart tracks, a bumper-boat lagoon, and a video-game arcade.
Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North
Located in the foothills of north Scottsdale adjacent to and with privileges at the Troon North golf course (one of the state's most highly acclaimed courses), Four Seasons has knocked the nearby Boulders resort from its pinnacle. This super-luxurious resort may not feel as expansive as Boulders, but in every other aspect it is superior. With casita accommodations scattered across a boulder-strewn hillside, Four Seasons can certainly boast one of the most dramatic settings in the valley, and with a hiking trail to the nearby Pinnacle Peak Park, the resort is a good choice for anyone who wants to explore the desert on foot. Likewise, the guest rooms and suites are among the most lavish you'll find in Arizona. If you can afford it, opt for one with a private plunge pool and an outdoor shower -- a luxury usually found only in tropical resorts. With three restaurants on the premises, it's easy to forget how far out of the Scottsdale mainstream this resort is.Facilities: 3 restaurants (Italian, steakhouse, Mexican); lounge; large 2-level pool; 2 18-hole golf courses; 4 tennis courts; large exercise room; spa; Jacuzzi; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; guest laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning.
Renaissance Scottsdale Resort
If I were coming to Scottsdale for a romantic getaway, I would stay here. Located adjacent to the upscale Borgata shopping center (which is designed to resemble the Tuscan hill town of San Gimignano), this is a casual yet luxurious boutique resort that feels like an isolated hideaway. Forget the hustle and bustle of other area resorts. Set amid shady lawns, the Renaissance Scottsdale Resort consists of spacious suites designed for those who need plenty of room and comfort. More than 100 of the suites have their own private hot tubs on private patios (very romantic), and all units are done in Southwestern style. Several excellent restaurants are within walking distance, which makes this a good choice for gourmands who don't want to spend their vacation fighting rush-hour traffic on Scottsdale Road.Facilities: Restaurant (Mediterranean); lounge; poolside snack bar; 2 pools; putting green; 4 tennis courts; access to nearby health club; 2 Jacuzzis; bike rentals; concierge; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; croquet court.
JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa
With 950 rooms, this is the largest resort in the state and stays crowded with conference groups, which can leave vacation travelers feeling a bit overlooked. Still, if you just want to spend some time in the sun drinking margaritas by the pool and not venturing out to explore the city, this place is great. It has been designed to make sure guests want for nothing and has such a wide range of restaurants (including a Roy's from Hawaii and a Starbucks), that you can spend several days here without leaving the property and not feel as though you're missing anything. There are also 4 acres of water features and pools (including a tubing "river") and a large spa with its own lap pool. At the resort's grand entrance, desert landscaping and rows of palm trees give the resort a sense of place, and the roll-up walls of the multilevel lobby let plenty of balmy desert air in during the cooler months. Guest rooms have balconies and hints of Mediterranean styling and are designed primarily for business travelers. Be sure to ask for a room with a view to the south; these rooms look out to several of Phoenix's mountain preserves. Personally, I think this place is just way too big, but I've heard you can get some great rates on Priceline.com.Facilities: 5 restaurants (Southwestern, Hawaiian fusion, Italian, steakhouse, healthy); 2 snack bars/cafes; 3 lounges; 5 pools; 2 18-hole golf courses; 8 tennis courts; health club; full-service spa; 2 Jacuzzis; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning.
