Visiting The Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix - Travel story

Located in historical downtown Phoenix, it's only minutes from The Wrigley Mansion and Scottsdale's Old Town Shops.  Just four stories tall, The Arizona Biltmore Hotel, famous as the "Jewel of the Desert", influenced by the architectural design of Frank Lloyd Wright, it is pristine throughout it's exterior and interior.  I have often experienced being in an oasis of lush gardens touting brilliant hues of the rainbow, and found peace in this traditional desert landscape.  One cannot escape the splendor of the regional furnishings and textiles throughout, as each room is complimented by a desert palette of sand, ivory and beige.  A mere half hour drive from my suburban home in the East Valley, I like to pretend that I am a tourist any time I choose, and The Biltmore is my special destination.

Upon entering the lobby, no expense has been spared in order to make me feel comfortable.  A favorite pleasure is to sit in one of the overstuffed chairs, read or just people watch.  I invented a fun game, and call it "Who are you, and what do you do?"  My suitcase is stuffed with an assortment of clothing, hoping to fool, just in case someone else is enjoying the same guessing game.  Once for fun, I dressed up as a Royal, similar to the ladies in the movies, called myself Lady Ann, and I attended the Biltmore invitation to the traditional afternoon tea.

The "Jewel" has numerous retreats including a dry sauna, steam room, Spa and Jacuzzi, with a personal locker stuffed with a plush robe and cozy slippers.  It also has eight sprawling, crystal clear swimming pools, and I especially enjoy rippling the look of gladd by taking a swim in the evenings when the skyline is clear  so that I can catch a glimpse of the magnificent Camelback Mountain by moonlight.

Magnificent luxury is at my beck and call, a luxurious room, the regal marble bathroom, feeling like I am in Europe, while in the desert.  Dining on fine cuisine, dancing under the stars, swimming in a pool that emulates the sea, relaxing or shopping, I tend to savor it all right here, at The Arizona Biltmore.
