During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument
Located outside the town of Coolidge not far from Florence, this national monument preserves one of the most unusual Indian ruins in the state. In Spanish, Casa Grande means "Big House," and that's exactly what you'll find. In this instance, the big house is the ruin of an earth-walled structure built 650 years ago by the Hohokam people. It is speculated that the building was once some sort of astronomical observatory, but this is not known for certain. Whatever the original purpose of the building, today it provides a glimpse of a style of ancient architecture rarely seen. Instead of using adobe bricks or stones, the people who built this structure used layers of hard-packed soil, which have survived the ravages of the weather and still stand in silent testament to the Hohokam's long-ago architectural endeavors. The Hohokam began farming the valleys of the Gila and Salt rivers about 1,500 years ago, and eventually built an extensive network of irrigation canals for watering their fields. By the middle of the 15th century, the Hohokam had abandoned both their canals and their villages and disappeared without a trace.
Deer Valley Rock Art Center
Located in the Hedgepeth Hills in the northwest corner of the Valley of the Sun, the Deer Valley Rock Art Center preserves an amazing concentration of Native American petroglyphs, some of which date back 5,000 years. Although these petroglyphs may not at first seem as impressive as those at more famous sites, the sheer numbers make this a fascinating spot. The drawings, which range from simple spirals to much more complex renderings of herds of deer, are on volcanic boulders along a quarter-mile trail. An interpretive center provides background information on this site and on rock art in general. From October through April, there are guided tours Saturdays at 10am and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1pm. From May through September, there are tours on Saturdays at 7:30am.
Hermosa Inn
This luxurious boutique hotel, once a guest ranch, is now one of the few hotels in the Phoenix area to offer a bit of Old Arizona atmosphere, and every time I arrive here, I breathe a great big sigh of relief. This place is all about Southwest style and getting a little peace and quiet. Originally built in 1930 as the home of cowboy artist Lon Megargee, the inn is situated on more than 6 acres of neatly landscaped gardens in an upscale residential neighborhood. I love it that this place is luxurious, yet feels completely removed from the hustle and bustle of Scottsdale's big, touristy resorts. The only other place with this sort of tranquil feel is the nearby Royal Palms, which has more of a service-oriented resort feel. Rooms vary from cozy to spacious and are individually decorated in tastefully contemporary Western decor. The largest suites, which have more Southwestern flavor than just about any other rooms in the area, incorporate a mixture of contemporary and antique furnishings. The dining room, located in the original adobe home, serves excellent food in a rustic, upscale setting.
Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort at Gainey Ranch
From the colonnades of palm trees to the lobby walls that slide away, this luxurious resort is designed to impress and year after year continues to be my favorite Scottsdale resort. It's relatively close in, has interesting architecture, and beautiful grounds. What's not to love? A 2 1/2-acre water playground serves as the resort's focal point, and the extravagant complex of 10 interconnecting swimming pools includes a water slide, a sand beach, a water-volleyball pool, waterfalls, and a huge whirlpool spa. The grounds are planted with hundreds of palm trees that frame the gorgeous views of the distant McDowell Mountains; closer at hand, original works of art have been placed throughout the resort. Guest rooms are luxurious and are designed to reflect the desert location. The Golden Swan restaurant has an unusual sunken waterside gazebo, while Ristorante Sandolo features singing servers and after-dinner gondola rides. The resort's Native American and Environmental Learning Center provides a glimpse into Native American culture and the ecology of the Sonoran Desert. With its children's programs and "Lost Dutchman Mine," where kids can dig for buried treasure, this is a super choice for families.Facilities: 4 restaurants (New American, Southwestern, Italian); snack bar; 2 lounges; coffee bar; juice bar; 10 pools; 27-hole golf course (with lots of water hazards); 8 tennis courts; health club and spa; 3 Jacuzzis; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
Westin Kierland Resort & Spa
Painted the color of the Arizona's red rock canyons, this new resort is located just off Scottsdale Road and adjacent to the Kierland Commons "urban village" shopping center. Throughout the resort you'll find interpretive plaques, artworks by Arizona artists, and historic photos that provide loads of insights into Arizona history and natural history. The convenient location and distinct sense of place make this my favorite of the Phoenix area's new crop of megaresorts. Guest rooms all have balconies or patios, and although the bathrooms aren't all that large, this minor inconvenience is compensated for by Westin's Heavenly Beds, which are incredibly comfortable, pillow-top beds. Excellent Nuevo Latino cuisine is served at Deseo, and there's a great cowboy-style bar as well. The spa specializes in skin treatments and has a wide variety of fitness equipment, a 24-hour lap pool, and a restaurant. Then there's the main pool area, which includes a long tubing river, a water slide, a beach area, and another large pool.Facilities: 5 restaurants (Nuevo Latino, American); poolside snack bar; espresso bar/ice-cream parlor; 2 lounges; 3 pools; 3 9-hole golf courses; 2 tennis courts; health club; full-service spa with 20 treatment rooms; 4 Jacuzzis; game room; children's programs; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
