The hotel was designed by Albert Chase McArthur,who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright.

There's not too much (if any) original furniture left in the hotel. 

A massive amount of Warren McArthur once filled this art deco wonderland.

The cottages on the resort grounds are pretty great



The garden wing
The pre-cast concrete"Biltmore Blocks" used to construct the resort were designed by Albert Chase McArthur and 
sculpted by Emry Kopta, a well-known sculptor.

No Wright/McArthur goodies in the rooms either. It's more of an "inspired by" theme.

The hotel bar/restaurant has several Soleri bells hanging around the dining areas.
Possibly, a nod to the time Paolo Soleri spent at Taliesin West . More about that connection here, here, and here.

You know, for kids.
