Leave Your Passport Behind for These 6 American Experiences May 17, 2019 By: Conde Nast Traveler
Relive the resplendent glamour of yesteryear with a stay at the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. As the sun sets in the Phoenician sky, The Happy Hour History Tour brings the hotel’s legendary past to life. With a resort historian leading the way, you’ll embark on a 45-minute tour of the glamorous Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired property, glass of bubbly in hand. Since 1929, the Biltmore has had an alluring reputation as a desert getaway for dignitaries and Hollywood’s elite, including Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and the celebrities of today. Weaving through three of its historic floors, expect enthralling tales of the Biltmore’s 90-year history, including a chance to peek into the “Mystery Room,” a Prohibition-era speakeasy inside the hotel. When happy hour concludes at the lobby bar, guests are presented with a signature cocktail invented at the Biltmore: the Tequila Sunrise. Now that’s a taste of history.
