"The Biltmore" Biltmore Cloisters Tip by goingsolo

The Biltmore is a famous hotel/resort located at the base of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and overlooking Squaw Peak. Again, I got lucky with post Sept 11th rates at this hotel, which was fantastic, but not really worth the $$$ it would have cost to stay here had the rate not been discounted.

The hotel's well manicured grounds are beautiful. The Biltmore also has a series of restaurants, but I never made it past the casual coffee shop. The Sunday brunch draws a large crowd, and is well worth the extra $$.

Unique Qualities: The resort has a fantastic spa, fitness center and the usual pools, tennis and golf and restaurants. The Sunday brunch is awesome as well.
