The 39 acres of the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa oozes swank and upper-class ambiance. From the long manicured landscaped drive up to the hotel entrance, to the footman ready to meet you and help with your bag all the way though the check-in and finding your room, the staff at the Biltmore make you feel pampered and wealthy whether you are or not. This is the place movie stars and dignitaries still come to for a getaway. The lobby and the various meeting rooms are emaculately neat and clean and the fact that Frank Lloyd Wright's student, Albert Chase McArthur, designed the resort is everpresent, from Art Deco stained glass to the specially designed "Biltmore blocks" used in the construction. Fountains, statues and works of art abound inside and out at the Biltmore are express the quality around which the hotel is famous.
The Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa is operated as a part of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotels & Resorts. It is informally called "the Jewel of the Desert" and is located at 2400 E. Missouri Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85016.
