Opened in 1929, this swanky resort at the base of Squaw Peak exudes old-timey Arizona charm and elegance. Albert Chase McArthur built it in "Mayan Revival" style, hiring his former mentor Frank Lloyd Wright as consultant. Former Columbia Pictures mogul Harry Cohn had a fatal heart attack here.

2005 | BEST WHALE WATCHING

Did you know that presidents have stayed here. If they love this place then you will too. It has a great golf course and there are always cool events going on. The pool has a great vibe and the bartenders are friendly. You don't have to go to the white house to stay where presidents have stayed, just head to the Biltmore.

Stunning architecture (I am an admitted Frank Lloyd Wright freak-o, though). Great rooms with decadent bathrooms - it's hard to choose between taking a swim in the tub or walking the gorgeous grounds.

Attended a conference there recently and hung around an extra night. Very peaceful out by the big fountain in the back and just first class all the way around. Right in the heart of everything great about Phoenix but yet tucked away as well.
