During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Goldfield Ghost Town
Over on the east side of the valley, just 4 miles northeast of Apache Junction, you'll find a reconstructed 1890s gold-mining town. Although it's a bit of a tourist trap -- gift shops, an ice-cream parlor, and the like -- it's also home to the Superstition Mountain Museum (tel. 480/983-4888), which has interesting exhibits on the history of the area. Of particular note is the exhibit on the Lost Dutchman gold mine, perhaps the most famous mine in the country despite the fact that its location is unknown. Goldfield Mine Tours provides guided tours of the gold mine beneath the town. The Superstition Scenic Narrow Gauge Railroad circles the town, and the Goldfield Livery (tel. 480/982-0133) offers horseback riding and carriage rides. If you're here at lunchtime, you can get a meal at the steakhouse/saloon.
Mystery Castle
Built for a daughter who longed for a castle more permanent than those built in sand at the beach, Mystery Castle is a wondrous work of folk-art architecture. Boyce Luther Gulley, who had come to Arizona in hopes of curing his tuberculosis, constructed the castle during the 1930s and early 1940s using stones from the property. The resulting 18-room fantasy has 13 fireplaces, parapets, and many other unusual touches. Tours are usually led by Mary Lou Gulley, the daughter for whom the castle was built.
Pinal County Historical Museum
Before touring the town, stop in at this small museum to orient yourself and learn more about the history of the area. You can blame the presence of the prison for the macabre exhibit of hanging nooses and a gas-chamber chair. There's also a collection of Tom Mix memorabilia.
The Ritz-Carlton Phoenix
Located directly across the street from the Biltmore Fashion Park shopping center in the heart of the Camelback Corridor business and shopping district, the Ritz-Carlton is the city's finest nonresort hotel and is known for providing impeccable service. The public areas are filled with European antiques, which, however, feel completely out of place in Phoenix. With so little regional character, this really isn't the sort of place where I would choose to stay if I wanted to come home from my vacation with a sense of having been to Arizona. Still the hotel is utterly sophisticated and regularly ranks among the top hotels in the world. In the guest rooms, you'll find reproductions of antique furniture and marble bathrooms with ornate fixtures. An elegant lobby lounge serves afternoon tea as well as cocktails, while a clublike lounge offers fine cigars and premium spirits. At press time, the hotel was planning to renovate all of its rooms, which should make this an even more luxurious option.
Caleo Resort & Spa
An exceptional location in the heart of the Scottsdale shopping district, a dramatic Southwestern styling (the focal point of the lobby is a massive sandstone fireplace), and a small but well-designed pool area are the main reasons I like this little resort. Set in a lushly planted courtyard are a small lagoon-style pool, complete with sand beach and short water slide, and a second pool with flame-topped columnar waterfalls. An artificial stream and faux sandstone ruins all add up to a fun desert fantasy landscape (although not on the grand scale to be found at some area resorts). The guest rooms have all been recently renovated, and while they don't have the Southwestern flavor they once did, they are still quite comfortable. A new little spa is a definite plus here; though small, it has a great feel.Facilities: Restaurant (Southwestern/New American); lounge; snack bar; 2 pools; exercise room; access to nearby health club; full-service spa; Jacuzzi; summer children's programs; concierge; business center; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.
The Phoenician
Situated on 250 acres at the foot of Camelback Mountain, this palatial resort consistently ranks among the finest resorts in the world. If you must stay at the very best, this is it. However, the character here is international, not Arizonan, so if you're looking for a sense of place, this isn't the resort for you. Polished marble and sparkling crystal abound in the lobby, but the view of the valley through a long wall of glass is what commands most guests' attention. Service here is second to none. The pool complex, which includes a water slide for the kids, is one of the finest in the state, and the resort's Centre for Well Being offers all the spa pampering anyone could ever need. There are also 27 challenging holes of golf. Mary Elaine's is Phoenix's ultimate special-occasion restaurant. Guest rooms are as elaborate as the public areas and have large patios and sunken tubs for two. However, as luxurious as the rooms are, it's questionable whether they warrant the price tag.Facilities: 3 restaurants (French, Southwestern, Italian); 4 snack bars/cafes; lounge; 9 pools; 27-hole golf course; putting green; 12 tennis courts; health club and spa; Jacuzzi; lawn games; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hour room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
