During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
The Bead Museum
You'll see beads and body adornments from around the world at this interesting little museum in the Glendale antiques district. Beads both ancient and modern are on display, and exhibits often focus on such subjects as beaded bags, prayer beads, or natural beads.
Arizona Science Center
So, the kids weren't impressed with the botanical garden of the Native American artifacts at the Heard Museum. Bring 'em here. They can spend the afternoon pushing buttons, turning knobs, and otherwise interacting with all kinds of cool science exhibits. In the end, they might even learn something in spite of all the fun they had. The science center also includes a planetarium and a large-screen theater, both of which carry additional charges.
Burton Barr Library
This library is among the most daring pieces of public architecture in the city, and no fan of futuristic art or science fiction should miss it. The five-story cube is partially clad in enough ribbed copper sheeting to produce roughly 17,500,000 pennies. The building's design makes use of the desert's plentiful sunshine to provide light for reading, but also incorporates computer-controlled louvers and shade sails to reduce heat and glare.
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.
Sierra Suites
Billing itself as a temporary residence and offering discounts for stays of 5 days or more, this hotel consists of studio-style apartments located just north of Camelback Road and not far from Biltmore Fashion Park. Although designed primarily for corporate business travelers on temporary assignment in the area, this lodging makes a good choice for families as well. All units have full kitchens, big closets and bathrooms, and separate sitting areas.
Embassy Suites Phoenix/Scottsdale
With its stylish, contemporary interior decor, this is one of the area's few hotels that will appeal to hip, young, travelers. Of course, this place doesn't have nearly the buzz of the new James Hotel in Old Town Scottsdale, it does provide plenty of space in its suites and great views of nearby mountains. As soon as you see the dyed concrete floor and unusual wall sculpture in the lobby, you'll know that this is not your standard business hotel. However, it might be difficult to take your eyes off the views across Stonecreek Golf Course to Camelback Mountain, Mummy Mountain, and Piestewa Peak, and those views just get better the higher up you go (be sure to ask for a room on the south side of an upper floor). Keep in mind that this is an all-suite property; the two-room accommodations are very spacious and come complete with galley kitchens.
