The Arizona Biltmore resort hotel in Phoenix, which dates to 1929.

Its architect of record is Albert Chase McArthur, a brother of the hotel owners, yet the design is often mistakenly attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright. This is due to Wright's on-site consulting for four months in 1928. The hotel has similarities to several Wright buildings, especially in the main lobby, owing to a strong imprint of the unit block design that Wright had utilized on four residential buildings in the Los Angeles area six years earlier.
