I Could Live Here

What's not to love about the Arizona Biltmore?

• Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture.
• Beautiful pools with plenty of deck chairs and a waterslide
• Lovely fire pits for when the sun goes down
• Huge rooms, astonishingly well-appointed
• 24-hour fitness center with more machinery than I've ever seen in a hotel (more than Denver, even!)

And best of all, a map with multiple running routes marked on it, You can go 20 miles in one direction along a canal and 40 miles in the other direction. But my favorite route is the two-mile loop through a neighborhood filled with gorgeous mansions sporting waterfalls, circular drives and gated entrances.

One even had a replica of Michelangelo's David ... wearing a Santa hat. Cracked me right up.
