News

The legendary Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, completed a major renovation to significantly enhance the guest experience. The multimillion-dollar project added modern, refined accommodations and public spaces while preserving the historic architecture. Guestrooms and suites, the spa and salon and meeting spaces — including ballrooms; pre-function rooms; and the Mystery Room, the Prohibition-era “speakeasy” used for themed events — were re-mastered with a sophisticated new look that recalls the style of the resort’s early years. Each of the 15 cabanas at the Paradise Pool were also redesigned to include new interior décor and an array of amenities, including flat-screen HDTVs and full baths.

“With the renovation we have enhanced our classic luxury with chic modern interpretations and recaptured our top-tier status in the Phoenix-Scottsdale resort marketplace,” said Sheila Foley, general manager, Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort.

Five Tips to Help Minimize Potential Travel Problems

Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History

All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
