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.

Arizona Mining & Mineral Museum
Arizonans have been romancing the stones for more than a century at colorfully named mines, such as the Copper Queen, Sleeping Beauty, and Lucky Boy. Out of such mines have come countless tons of copper, silver, and gold, as well as beautiful minerals with tongue-twisting names. Chalcanthite, chalcoaluminate, and chrysocolla are just some of the richly colored minerals on display at this small downtown museum. Rather than playing up the historical or profit-making side of the industry, exhibits focus on the amazing variety of Arizona minerals. Displays have a dated feel, but the beauty of the minerals makes this an interesting stop.

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.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Phoenix area, including:

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.

Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort
This place is not nearly as luxurious or as stylish as the nearby Doubletree or Sunburst, but families will appreciate the resort's kid-friendly character. Long one of the valley's best resort deals, the SunSpree has been upgrading over the past few years -- and its rates seem to be creeping up. Still, compared with other area options, it is relatively economical. Situated on 16 acres amid wide expanses of lawn, the SunSpree is adjacent to the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, which is a total kid-magnet. Adults can golf at the adjacent Scottsdale Silverado Golf Club, while nongolfers can avail themselves of many other recreational options. Guest rooms have a plush feel that belies the reasonable rates. Ask for a room with a mountain view or a lakeside unit with patio.

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.
