Clarion Hotel @ Phoenix Tech Center

Like the phoenix of ancient mythology, Arizona's capital city has risen from its own ashes -- in this case, the ruins of an ancient Indian village -- to become one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country.

Although the city has had its economic ups and downs, the Phoenix metropolitan area, often referred to as the Valley of the Sun (or just "The Valley"), is currently booming. The Camelback Corridor, which leads through north central Phoenix, has become the corporate heartland of the city, and shiny glass office towers keep pushing up toward the desert sky. This burgeoning stretch of road has also become a corridor of upscale restaurants and shopping plazas, anchored by the Biltmore Fashion Park shopping center, the city's temple of high-end consumerism. Today, Phoenicians flock to this area for both work and play.

Golf, tennis, and lounging by the pool are only the tip of the iceberg (so to speak) when it comes to winter activities. With the cooler weather comes the cultural season, and between Phoenix and the neighboring cities of Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa, there's an impressive array of music, dance, and theater. Scottsdale is also well known as a center of the visual arts, ranking behind only New York and Santa Fe in its concentration of art galleries.
