The Holidays at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa:


Biltmore's Lobby Tree

There is no better resort in Arizona to celebrate the holidays than the historic and festive setting of the
state’s architectural masterpiece and Grande Dame, the legendary Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa. –
with its fantastic decorations and many holiday activities, dining events and parties.
The Holiday Season kicks off annually with the gala lighting (which this year will be on Nov. 29,
2007) of alofty 60-feet tall tree at the front of the  resort that is illuminated with thousands of sparkling
lights, with the Phoenix Boys Choir performing and Santa and Mrs. Claus in attendance.
 

 

As of the tree lighting, spectacular decorations have gone up that set the stage for the holiday spirit at the resort and for enjoying the many holiday events being held. Among the decorations are a number of decorated Christmas trees, a menorah, twinkle lights, swags, ribbons and more, plus a luscious 5' x 10' gingerbread house.
