About the Aztec Ballroom and the Arizona Biltmore
About the Aztec Room and the Arizona Biltmore: The Arizona Biltmore Hotel is a breathtaking historic landmark located in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona. The hotel has been welcoming guests since 1929, and it has become an iconic symbol of luxury and elegance in the Southwest. The hotel was designed by Albert Chase McArthur, a former student of Frank Lloyd Wright’s, to create a unique vision of a beautiful resort hotel that would showcase Wright’s exceptional architectural style. The hotel was completed in 1929 with it’s original ballroom, the Aztec Room, covered with the original 18-karat gold-leaf ceiling and copper beams. The room is a testiment to the southwest, modern architecture, glamour, and the Jazz Age.
