The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa

The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa welcomes groups to one of the largest and most comprehensive meeting sites in all of Arizona. Hailed as the “Jewel of the Desert” at its opening in 1929, the acclaimed architectural landmark offers unparalleled luxury in a picturesque setting. The expansions and enhancements of recent years have faithfully preserved the historic design recognized worldwide for the influence of America’s heralded architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

Thirty-nine acres hold an array of outdoor event sites, including terraces, lawns, and pool decks.Inside, more than 100,000 square feet of meeting space includes a state-of-the-art conference facility with business center, ballroom, and 17 breakout rooms. Two historically significant sites, the Aztec Room and the Gold Room, take guests’ breath away with their stunning architectural design and appointments. The same settings enchanted everyone from the Rat Pack to Clark Gable, George Clooney to Arnold Schwarzenegger, and every president since Herbert Hoover.

Outside, the eight swimming pools include the Catalina Pool—a favorite of Marilyn Monroe and the place where Irving Berlin wrote “White Christmas.” When not basking in the sun, guests at leisure play golf on 36 championship holes or visit the 22,000-square-foot spa, where therapies from around the globe provide the ultimate in post-meeting pampering.

Wright’s at the Biltmore, part of a dynamic restaurant and lounge duo at the resort, creates an ideal environment for dining, socializing, and relaxing after a long day of meetings. The expansive patio, complete with fire pits and oversized chairs, affords spectacular views of the gardens and majestic Squaw Peak Mountains. There are no packages available at this time.

conjunction with quintessential North American hospitality icons, Hilton and The Waldorf=Astoria, names which evoke
quality and substance.”
