Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort

I just finished a bleisure stay - conference for 2 days and relaxation for an additional 3 days. First a word about the food selections available for the conference (banquets department). Top notch. As I vegetarian there were ALWAYS plenty of options at meals…and as importantly, coffee break snacks had things like vegan jerky among many other items for everyone. Kudos to the banquets team! Once business was done, great relaxation was easy to obtain. At check in I asked for a quiet location, and the Terrace Wing was perfect. Decent sized pool used primary only by people in the Wing. Great views of Camelback Mountain. We absolutely did not need the family pool or even the adults only pool. We also took advantage of three programs that the Hotel offers, including meditation, the estate walk, and the history tour. The first two are included in your resort fee and highly recommended. The history tour was also fascinating, and we even got a chance to go into the Mystery Room. It’s a bargain at $30 per person. And lastly, while all the staff were attentive and patient, I’d like to recognize Carina at the front desk. She provided great advice, answered all of my questions, and truly was the embodiment of hospitality.

The Biltmore never disappoints. This is my second time staying here, and if it wasn’t for my friend being a team member, I would never be able to afford it. All staff were very nice, attentive and accommodating. We spent our time at the adults only pool, which was so nice not having to deal with kids. Staff wait on you while lounging in your thickly padded chaise with drinks and food. Speaking of drinks, yes they are expensive starting at 17 dollars each but they use top shelf alcohol which shows in taste. I tried almost every one of their signature drinks and loved each one. The food wasn’t anything to write home about but still above average hotel fare. The clothing shops offer high end clothing and have sale racks which is what I made a beeline to lol. The Biltmore has a spa on the property which I did not partake in but the offerings looked very nice. Overall great experience and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Brief stay but hotel was excellent. My reason for writing though is the wonderful coaching at the tennis centre. Josh was superb. Fun, informative and above all enthusiastic enough to participate in a hitting session with pointers that is just what I wanted and needed. Extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

Excellent hotel and stay. Even with a busy conference finishing when we arrived, and a large wedding occurring on the weekend, it never felt anything less than the luxury resort it is known to be. Its reputation is very well earned and the Arizona Biltmore remains a favorite for our family. Special kudos to the tennis facilities and the Director of Racquet Sports Brendan Easterling. Brendan provided top notch tennis lessons and is a true professional. Well done.

Very old architecture, but facilities kept current. A few low ceilings. Service is the key here. This was closer to a Four Seasons than a Hilton. One of the best resorts in Scottsdale. Spa, adult pool, outdoor bar were all exceptional. The grounds were incredible. Painstakingly manicured for every lawn and garden. Downsides: corporate events took over every other day. Finding a pool chair is challenging on the weekend. They need to be more aggressive on clearing out “held” chairs. Treadmills are dated in the gym. Peloton are ready for an upgrade. This maybe my favorite Scottsdale Resort for the price. Splurge for a suite. It includes the Citrus Club. Food and beverage all day and evening.
