HOTEL OVERVIEW

Look, I’ve stayed at a lot of fancy hotels in Phoenix, but the Arizona Biltmore just hits differently. The moment you pull up that long driveway off Missouri Avenue, you get why they call this place the “Jewel of the Desert” – though honestly, that Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture speaks for itself without the nickname. The building actually looks like it grew out of Camelback Mountain, all those geometric concrete blocks catching the light in ways that change throughout the day. I mean, you’re literally looking at a piece of history here (the place opened in 1929), but it doesn’t feel stuffy or museum-like at all.

What really gets me about this place is how they’ve managed to keep that old-school Arizona resort vibe without feeling dated. The lobby has this incredible ceiling that makes you want to just lie on your back and stare – I’ve actually seen people do that, and honestly, no one judges. The staff knows their stuff too; they’ll tell you the best time to hit the pool to avoid the Scottsdale crowd (early morning or late afternoon, by the way) and which restaurant has the shortest wait. Speaking of pools, there are eight of them scattered around the property, so you’ll find your spot whether you want to be near families or prefer something quieter. The main pool gets busy during snowbird season – basically November through March when everyone’s escaping winter – but even then it’s not overwhelming.

You know what surprised me most? How quiet it actually is, especially considering you’re right in the heart of Phoenix. The grounds are massive – 39 acres – so there’s this buffer from the city noise, plus all those mature palm trees and desert landscaping create these little pockets of calm. The rooms are solid too, though I’d spring for something with a mountain view if you can swing it. Parking is valet only, which runs about $35 a night (yeah, it’s Phoenix pricing), but honestly it’s worth it since they keep your car in covered parking – trust me, your steering wheel will thank you in July. The spa is legit if you’re into that scene, and the golf course… well, let’s just say if you’re a golfer, you probably already know about this place. What I really appreciate is that they get the balance right between luxury and actually being comfortable – you can show up in nice shorts and a polo and feel perfectly at home, but it’s also the kind of place where you want to dress up for dinner just because the setting deserves it.

Mary at the concierge desk was extremely helpful and kind. I really wish we could have talked to her at the beginning of our stay to get some useful information. The facilities were very clean.

Holly from United States

8/10

The hotel is beautiful, clean, and has many options for lounging and just enjoying the atmosphere. Food options are limited, so if you want different varieties you should have a car to be able to leave. There are 7 pools, although I only saw two, and they were nice pool areas. Everyone just relaxing and no crazy loud parties.

The beautiful foliage and the historical background of the hotel are just some of the amazing features at the Arizona Biltmore. The staff is amazing top-notch service. The pools are clean, clear and crisp.
