During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeologicial Park
Located near Sky Harbor Airport and downtown Phoenix, the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park houses the ruins of an ancient Hohokam village that was one of several villages along the Salt River between A.D. 300 and 1400. Sometime around 1450, this and other villages were mysteriously abandoned. Some speculate that drought and a buildup of salts from irrigation water reduced the fertility of the soil and forced the people to seek more fertile lands. The small museum displays many of the artifacts that have been dug up on the site. Although these exhibits are actually more interesting than the ruins themselves, there are also some reconstructed and furnished Hohokam-style houses that give a good idea of how the Hohokam lived. The museum sponsors interesting workshops (some just for kids), demonstrations, and tours (including petroglyph hikes). The Pueblo Grande Museum Indian Market, held in mid-December at Steele Indian School Park, which is on the northeast corner of Indian School Road and Central Avenue, is the largest of its kind in the state and features more than 500 Native American artisans.
Hall of Flame Firefighting Museum
The world's largest firefighting museum houses a fascinating collection of vintage firetrucks. The displays date from a 1725 English hand pumper to several classic engines from the 20th century. All are beautifully restored and, of course, fire-engine red (mostly). In all, there are more than 90 vehicles on display.
Phoenix Art Museum
This is one of the largest art museums in the Southwest, and within its labyrinth of halls and galleries is a respectable collection that spans the major artistic movements from the Renaissance to the present. Exhibits cover decorative arts, historic fashions, Spanish-colonial furnishings and religious art, and, of course, works by members of the Cowboy Artists of America. The collection of modern and contemporary art is particularly good, with works by Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Georgia O'Keeffe, Henri Rousseau, and Auguste Rodin. The popular Thorne Miniature Collection consists of tiny rooms on a scale of 1 inch to 1 foot. Because this museum is so large, it frequently mounts traveling blockbuster exhibits.
Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa
For decades this has been the favored Phoenix address of celebrities, politicians, and old money, and the distinctive cast-cement blocks inspired by a Frank Lloyd Wright design make this a unique architectural gem. It's the historic character and timeless elegance that really set this place apart. Let the beautiful people and the new money have The Phoenician; I'll take the Biltmore. The wide lawns, colorful flower gardens, and views of Piestewa Peak make outdoor lounging here an absolute joy (just bring me a gin and tonic over at the croquet court). While the two golf courses and expansive spa are the main draws for many guests, the children's activities center also makes this a popular choice for families. Of the several different styles of accommodations, the "resort rooms" are quite comfortable and come with balconies or patios. Those rooms in the Arizona Wing are also good choices. The villa suites are the most spacious and luxurious of all. Afternoon tea, a Phoenix institution, is served in the lobby.Facilities: 5 restaurants (New American, Southwestern, American); lounge; 8 pools (1 with a water slide and 1 with rental cabanas); 2 18-hole golf courses plus 18-hole putting course; 7 tennis courts; lawn games; health club and full-service spa; 2 Jacuzzis; saunas; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; courtesy shopping shuttle; business center; room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
James Hotel
Move over W; here comes James. Until this past year, Scottsdale had a surprising dearth of hip hotels. Hipsters and fashionistas had nowhere to stay when they came to town to check out Scottsdale's hot nightlife scene. All that changed with the opening of the James, the first of a hotel chain that hopes to compete with the ultrahip W chain. In the lobby, James Bond movies are projected on the walls, and trendy types gather at the bar (just practice saying "shaken not stirred"). The exterior of the hotel is all sharp angles and bright walls of color. Guest rooms are the absolute opposite -- monochromatic save for a few strategically placed splashes of color. The minimalist 1950s retro style, and the huge plasma TVs and CD players make it perfectly clear that this place is designed for hip young travelers. Be sure to check out the minibar, where you'll find Odwalla bars, soy chips, all the makings for martinis, and even condoms. The hotel's Fiamma Trattoria is just about the hottest place in town these days, but, although the food is good, the service can be horrible.
Embassy Suites Phoenix North
This resortlike hotel in north Phoenix is right off I-17, a 30- to 45-minute drive from the rest of the valley's resorts (and good restaurants) -- but if you happen to have relatives in Sun City or are planning a trip north to Sedona or the Grand Canyon, it's a good choice. The lobby of the mission-style hotel has the feel of a Spanish church interior, but instead of a cloister off the lobby, there's a garden courtyard with a huge pool and lots of palm trees. The guest rooms are all suites, although furnishings are fairly basic and bathrooms small.
