If ever a hotel was deliciously OTT, this is it. Its 39 acres host enough pools to swim in a different one every day of the week (and still have one spare); 2 championship golf courses; and dining experiences including a Sunday Brunch that will satisfy your hunger for a week, and High Teas with dainty cakes and finger sandwiches. The setting’s pretty lavish too – near Phoenix Mountain Preserve and Biltmore Fashion Park Mall. A Frank Lloyd Wright design masterpiece, with a 1930s pool rumoured to have been Marilyn Monroe’s favourite, Arizona Biltmore’s past is so fascinating they even host history tours. That’s not to say it’s stuck in the past: modern musts here include complimentary WiFi, a fitness centre, a 92-foot waterslide, and five dining venues serving contemporary takes of classic dishes.

One of our favorite locations. The remodeled room we were in was nice and comfortable with a great view of the mountains. Wonderful staff and stay. We will be back for sure. The only thing we were disappointed in this trip was the food and drinks, at least at the outdoor bar. We definitely did not get the quality of food and drink you would expect for the top dollar price they charge.

Very nice but much more of a party vibe from when it was a Waldorf.

We stayed here in room 4331 (The Terrace building) for 5 nights from 1/7 to 1/12/25. It is our third stay here (2 when it was a Waldorf our first under the new LXR brand}
The hotel is beautiful with great architecture and landscaping. The rooms are well appointed.
The Terrace building has it's own small pool, hot tub and courtyard area.
Our room was good sized, had a nice sized balcony, big bathroom with lots of counterspace and a shower and a tub) . There was a Nespresso machine, fridge, small table area and a decent sized TV. Overall the room decor was very nice.
Note 1: the room is about a quarter mile (one way) walk from the lobby and restaurant.
Note 2: the wall between your balcony and room 4329's is very low. We had the guest in 4329 leap over it and on to our balcony to get a "better picture". We felt a bit unsafe after this happened and can't imagining this happening when the hotel was a Waldorf.
If you are with a group, I'd recommend booking both 4329 and 4331, so you'll know who shows up on your balcony.
The staff is very good to excellent (esp. housekeeping and the front desk). They provide nightly turndown service as well as standard housekeeping.
Compared to our stays here when it was a Waldorf, we found the resort much busier (lots of business meetings/events) and having a much stronger party vibe. It did not seem as relaxing or family friendly as before.
If you are looking for the Waldorf vibe you will be disappointed, if you want a luxury party spot you will love it here.

Outstanding resort for your Arizona visit.
Jan 25, 2025TamiandRickWest Palm Beach, Florida
The Arizona Biltmore is a beautiful property that is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The staff is attentive and wonderful; the group exercise - yoga, meditation, and pilates - are enjoyable; and the spa is peaceful. We enjoyed the food on property as well. We began our Arizona vacation at the Biltmore and would highly recommend this resort.

We stayed at the Arizona Biltmore during the week of Thanksgiving. The resort is one of my favorites in the area. The elegance and the history of the resort really make it special. We booked a Paradise Pool side room and loved having a patio with a fire pit and a private entrance to the Paradise Pool. This was perfect for kids that wanted to ride the slide over and over again. We spent most of our days by the pool and enjoyed the poolside food and drinks service. Everything we got was delicious. Unfortunately, there was a very tragic event that took place at the hotel while we were there, but the hotel handle everything in a professional way. You could tell they took every precaution to shield the customers from everything going on while trying to keep business as usual, but there was a somber feel in the air.
We look forward to our next trip to the Arizona Biltmore.

Fantastic Tennis and Golf

This was a great place to stay. It was one of the few places where the beds and pillows are super comfortable. Loved the architecture and landscape. The bar outside with firepits, palm trees and mountain views was absolutely wonderful.

This was a great place to stay. It was one of the few places where the beds and pillows are super comfortable. Loved the architecture and landscape. The bar outside with firepits, palm trees and mountain views was absolutely wonderful.
We were there with another couple as a birthday golf trip for my friend and my husband. They played golf three times, once at the Biltmore and had a great experience. We had a server outside at Adobe after their round, and I'm sorry to say I don't remember her name, but she was fantastic. A wonderful salesgirl for sure!
The restaurants at the resort are pricey, but the food is good.
The spa was nice. It was cold the day we got our massage so we weren't able to spend much time outdoors, but it is very pretty. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a pool for just the spa. We ended up leaving the spa as it got warmer and sitting at the adult pool, which was wonderful. My friend and I both had a fantastic hot stone massgae at the spa. I would definately recommend it.
We did a little hiking nearby, and there are some great restaurants and shopping too. The gym is good and has a lot of equipment. I didn't do any classes, only because the times didn't line up with my schedule. The hotel gift shops have good things at normal prices and the staff in those shops are very nice.
As I am not a golfer, I took a tennis lesson one day while the others were on the course. This was one of my favorite things all week. The instructor, Brendan Easterling, was better than fantastic. He gave me so many tips and helped me with various things. I wish I could have had more time with him as I truly believe he could change my game if given the chance. If I am ever back, taking another lesson with him is the one thing I know I would do again. If I ever get the chance I would take my girlfriends back there for a tennis camp type trip with him. He is patient, encouraging, knowledgable, and was excellent at picking out certain small things to work on for improvement. I really appreciated his instrustion. I greatly recommend him if you are staying here or traveling close by.
The hotel is older, but it has been renovated and it is clean and very nice. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because we did not have great service with housekeeping. I had to ask for things every day as housekeeping did not replinish some things. I did leave extra tip money, but honestly would have left them much more had they restocked my water, coffee, make up towels, and make up cotton pads without being asked more than once. That being said, the valet guys were woderful. They even recommended a local mexican restaurant to us when we asked and it did not disappoint. They were always quick and friendly.
I would definately recommend this resort and would stay here again.
