During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Arizona Biltmore
This resort hotel, although not designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, shows the famed architect's hand in its distinctive cast-cement blocks. It also displays sculptures, furniture, and stained glass designed by Wright. The best way to soak up the ambience of this exclusive resort (if you aren't staying here) is over dinner, a cocktail, or tea. To learn more about the building, however, reserve ahead for a tour, given Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 2:30pm.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Royal Palms Resort and Spa
This place is so romantic and beautiful that the moment you set foot in the first cloistered garden, you just might imagine you hear a flamenco guitarist playing. Located midway between Old Town Scottsdale and Biltmore Fashion Park, the Royal Palms was constructed more than 50 years ago by Cunard Steamship executive Delos Cooke. Done in Spanish mission style, the boutique hotel is still filled with European antiques that once belonged to Cooke. Surrounding the building, and giving the property the tranquil feel of a Mediterranean monastery, are lush walled gardens where antique water fountains splash. The most memorable guest rooms are the deluxe casitas, each with a distinctive decor ranging from opulent contemporary to classic European. These rooms also have private back patios and front patios that can be enclosed by heavy curtains. The antiques-filled dining room, T. Cook's, is one of the city's most romantic restaurants. An adjacent bar/lounge conjures up a Spanish villa setting. The Alvadora spa provides yet another level of luxury to this already superb boutique resort. While the Scottsdale Princess does the Moorish palace on a resort scale, this gorgeous little hideaway has the feel of a Spanish villa that was transported to the Arizona desert.
