During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Historic Heritage Square
Although the city of Phoenix was founded as recently as 1870, much of its history has been obliterated. However, if you have an appreciation for old homes and want a glimpse of how Phoenix once looked, stroll around this collection of some of the city's few remaining 19th-century houses, which stand here on the original town site. All of the buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and most display Victorian architectural styles popular at the end of the 19th century. Today, the buildings house museums, restaurants, and gift shops. The Eastlake Victorian Rosson House, furnished with period antiques, is open for tours. The Stevens House features the Arizona Doll and Toy Museum. The Forest's Carriage House has a gift shop and ticket window for the Rosson House tours. The Teeter House now serves as a Victorian tearoom (with cocktails and live jazz in the evening); the old Baird Machine Shop contains Pizzeria Bianco; and the Thomas House is home to Bar Bianco.
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.
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.
Embassy Suites Biltmore
Located across the parking lot from the Biltmore Fashion Park (Phoenix's most upscale shopping center), this hotel makes a great base if you want to be within walking distance of half a dozen good restaurants. The enormous atrium is filled with interesting tile work and other artistic Southwestern touches, as well as tropical greenery, waterfalls, and ponds filled with koi (colorful Japanese carp). The hotel's atrium also houses the breakfast area and a romantic lounge with huge banquettes shaded by palm trees. Unfortunately, the rooms, all suites, are dated and a bit of a letdown, but they're certainly large. All in all, this hotel is a good value, especially when you consider that rates include both breakfast and afternoon drinks.Facilities: Restaurant (steakhouse); lounge; outdoor pool; exercise room; access to nearby health club; Jacuzzi; children's programs; concierge; courtesy car; business center; room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
Cave Creek Tumbleweed Motel
Located in the heart of rowdy Cave Creek, the valley's wildest and most western community, this little motel is nothing fancy, but it still seems to stay packed for much of the year. Be sure to book early. Although the guest rooms have a bit of western character, the popularity of this place is due in large part to the fun atmosphere of surrounding saloons and cowboy steakhouses. Although it's at least a 30-minute drive from here to Phoenix, the desert is a whole lot closer here than it is to Phoenix and Scottsdale's budget motels.
Scottsdale Resort & Athletic Club
Fitness fanatics rejoice; this club's for you. If you can't stand the thought of giving up your workout just because you're on vacation, book a stay at this little boutique hotel just off busy Scottsdale Road and adjacent to the Silverado Golf Course. With standard rooms and huge 1- and 2-bedroom "villas," this place is plenty comfortable, but the main reason I like this hotel is because it's affiliated with the Scottsdale Athletic Club, a large workout facility that emphasizes its tennis program. The basic rooms are a real steal for Scottsdale, and while the villas/suites are quite a bit more expensive, they are gigantic and have fireplaces, DVD players, full kitchens, and washers and dryers. On top of all this, you get a view of Camelback Mountain.
