Arizona Biltmore - association with Frank Lloyd Wright

The Arizona Biltmore Hotel, opened in 1929, is commonly associated with architect Frank Lloyd Wright, though historians debate the extent of Wright's direct design involvement and attribute primary design credit to Albert Chase McArthur. The hotel's use of geometric “textile block” motifs and later restorations are frequently discussed in scholarship of Wrightian influence in Phoenix architecture. The Biltmore remains a prominent site when examining Wright's perceived influence on Arizona buildings.
