This Historic Hotel in Arizona is the Ideal Spot to Embrace Spring Celebrations

Spring is a prime time for a trip to Phoenix, thanks to its pleasant weather, vibrant wildflowers, and unique seasonal festivities. Maximize your experience by staying at the Arizona Biltmore—a renowned destination that has catered to presidents, dignitaries, and Hollywood stars since 1929. When you’re not out discovering, enjoy amenities like the Citrus Club, an exclusive lounge featuring dedicated concierge services, a curated drink selection, and buffet-style dining available with select suites and club-level rooms.

This year, guests can commemorate the resort’s legacy with the Arizona Biltmore 95th Anniversary Package; stay in one of the hotel’s beautifully restored original 1929 cottages, complete with curated art, private courtyards, and landscaped native cacti.

From enjoying Spring Training to indulging in open-air spa treatments, here are some of the top activities and experiences that travelers can enjoy at and around the resort this spring.

Take a moment to enjoy the wildflowers at Piestewa Peak

Nestled amid breathtaking mountains and the expansive Sonoran Desert, the Arizona Biltmore is just a stone's throw from some of the most beautiful wildflower fields in Arizona. Visit Piestewa Peak, only five minutes from the resort, to experience stunning vistas and a variety of blooming flowers, including marigolds, poppies, brittlebush, and chuparosa along the Summit Trail. If the 1,200-foot climb isn’t for you, the Piestewa Peak recreation area offers numerous family-friendly hiking and biking trails, along with abundant natural beauty.

Catch a game or two

Located in the heart of Phoenix and within 20 miles of all the Valley’s stadiums, the Arizona Biltmore is the perfect home base during Spring Training. Whether you’re cheering for the Reds or the Rangers, enjoy a game at a nearby ballpark before heading back to the resort for a refreshing swim in the Saguaro Pool or a drink at The Spire Bar. This vibrant social spot—often hailed as the best outdoor bar in Phoenix—will feature a festive Grand Slam Game Day Menu every night this season to celebrate a day of Spring Training action.

Experience the ultimate spring getaway

The Arizona Biltmore offers a variety of thrilling and unique activities for guests of all ages, from hot air balloon adventures and family-friendly dive-in movies to stargazing and horseback riding. Escape the heat at seven refreshing pools, including the Paradise Pool, featuring an amazing triple water slide and air-conditioned cabanas, along with the adults-only Saguaro Pool. Rent custom Pashley bikes for a guided tour of the resort's lush grounds. Relax under the stars next to the cozy fire pit outside your cottage.

Sharpen your skills at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club

Set within the stunning Phoenix Mountain Preserve and adjacent to the Arizona Biltmore, the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is renowned as one of the country’s premier golf destinations. Its undulating fairways and desert ravines have welcomed heads of state, celebrities, and elite athletes since its inception in the late 1920s. Among its two championship courses, the Adobe Course is celebrated as a pioneer of modern design, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and downtown Phoenix, while the newer Links Course features challenging fairways bordered by lush pines and tranquil lakes. Golfers of all levels can enhance their game with personalized lessons available for every skill set.

Experience tranquility in nature at the spa

Immerse yourself in the beauty and unique essence of the Sonoran Desert at the Forbes Four-Star-rated Tierra Luna Spa and Sol Garden. Indulge in treatments featuring locally sourced botanicals and regional ingredients, like the Alchemy Mud & Crystal Wrap experience, which utilizes indigenous detoxifying mud, and the Orange Blossom Ylang Exfoliation, where agave (cactus) dry brushing helps remove dead skin. Before or after your treatment, connect with nature in the Sol Garden, an outdoor relaxation area perfect for reflection, where you can enjoy contrast bathing with a cold plunge and hot tub, along with plush loungers, misters, and Sol Cafe.
