Memories of The Arizona Biltmore
Tuesday August 5, 2003
No, The Arizona Biltmore isn't gone. The famous resort located in Central Phoenix at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, nicknamed the “Jewel of the Desert,” will reach a significant milestone in 2004. It will be the 75th anniversary of the hotel. In order to make the year-long celebration more special, The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa has issued a “Call for Memories” – to both locate memorabilia that can be put on display and uncover intriguing anecdotes that can be recounted.
A landmark since opening in 1929, The Arizona Biltmore was the state’s first resort and launched Arizona’s now all-important tourism industry. Conceived in grand scope and style, with a design inspired by America’s most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, from the beginning to this day it has been a haven for the rich and famous. It remains one of the world’s most recognized resorts, known for its distinctive architecture, luxurious facilities and storied history.
The Arizona Biltmore believes there are people around the country, particularly many past guests, with vintage photos taken at the resort, logoed items and hotel memorabilia from the early years, unique stories of something that happened or a star they met at the resort, and more – which can be woven into the 75th anniversary celebration.
A special email address has been set up for the Call for Memories: memories@arizonabiltmore.com. Or write to: 75th Anniversary Committee, The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa, 2400 E. Missouri, Phoenix, AZ 85016.
