During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
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.
Heard Museum
The Heard Museum is one of the nation's finest museums dealing exclusively with Native American cultures and is an ideal introduction to the indigenous peoples of Arizona. The extensive exhibit Native Peoples of the Southwest examines the culture of each of the major tribes of the region and includes a Navajo hogan, an Apache wickiup, and a Hopi corn-grinding display. In the Katsina Doll Gallery, you'll get an idea of the number of different kachina spirits that populate the Hopi and Zuni religions, while the Crossroads Gallery offers a fascinating look at contemporary Native American art. On many weekends, there are performances by singers and dancers, and throughout the week, artists demonstrate their work. Guided tours are offered daily. The annual Indian Fair and Market, held on the first weekend in March, includes traditional dances along with arts and crafts.The museum also operates Heard Museum North, at El Pedregal Festival Marketplace, 34505 N. Scottsdale Rd., in Carefree. This gallery features changing exhibits and is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5:30pm and Sunday from noon to 5pm. Admission is $3 for adults and is free for children 12 and under.
Renaissance Scottsdale Resort
If I were coming to Scottsdale for a romantic getaway, I would stay here. Located adjacent to the upscale Borgata shopping center (which is designed to resemble the Tuscan hill town of San Gimignano), this is a casual yet luxurious boutique resort that feels like an isolated hideaway. Forget the hustle and bustle of other area resorts. Set amid shady lawns, the Renaissance Scottsdale Resort consists of spacious suites designed for those who need plenty of room and comfort. More than 100 of the suites have their own private hot tubs on private patios (very romantic), and all units are done in Southwestern style. Several excellent restaurants are within walking distance, which makes this a good choice for gourmands who don't want to spend their vacation fighting rush-hour traffic on Scottsdale Road.Facilities: Restaurant (Mediterranean); lounge; poolside snack bar; 2 pools; putting green; 4 tennis courts; access to nearby health club; 2 Jacuzzis; bike rentals; concierge; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; croquet court.
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.
Carefree Resort & Villas
Although this place is nowhere near as luxurious as the nearby Boulders resort, it isn't nearly as expensive either. Basically, this place aims to compete with the older resorts down in Scottsdale. The difference here is that you're out of the Scottsdale traffic and you're close to the unspoiled desert that lies to the north of Carefree. And with Cave Creek just down the road, you've got plenty of western character close at hand. Horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking are all nearby, too. While the rooms around the main pool show their age, the big new villa suites are some of the nicest and most spacious rooms in the valley. These rooms overlook the nearby mountains and adjacent golf course.
