Phoenix Biltmore or Scottsdale Hilton Resort

Our family has a trip planned to Phoenix in April. I have enough points to stay at either location, have you stayed at either location recently? Any input is appreciated.

We plan to hike and relax during this trip and take in local sites.

Thanks in advance!

If you're a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, then the Biltmore it is.

Do you mean the Arizona Biltmore? That' the beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright property. Enjoy.

Of the two, I don't think it's a very fair comparison. The Biltmore is in quite a different league, with the attendant costs to consider. Even if your stay is on points, all the other costs will probably be considerably more than the Hilton. So you have to keep that in mind.

And FYI: While I do love the Biltmore, it was NOT designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Although Wright consulted for a few months, the architect was Albert Chase McArthur.

But the hotel does have the look of Wright's architectural style.
