The Metro Phoenix area has over 26,000 hotel rooms, with none outmatching Pointe Hilton resorts Tapotio Cliffs and Squaw Peak. Squaw Peak was first all suite resort in United States. Tapotio is built reminiscent of a Tuscan, Italy hill town. Hilton also offers Hilton Suites, also close to airport, for business travelers needing a quiet, relaxing, but convenience home away from home for doing business in high tech and manufacturing, tourism and construction, top Phoenix industries.
Suburbs of Phoenix include Tempe, Carefree, Cave Creek, Chandler, El Mirage, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City, and Taliesen (cliffs or brow in Scottish). Taliesen is winter home of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
There are 190 golf courses for snowbirds in Phoenix. The annual PGA Phoenix open is held here and Standard Register Turquoise Classic LPGA and Tradition Senior PGA make it their home as well. The Tapotio Cliffs and Squaw Peak share facilities of Hilton owned Lookout Mountain Golf Club, one of top ranked courses in country.
There are seven Major League Baseball teams - part of Cactus League - offering spring training camps in area: San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers and Anaheim Angels. The Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox train in Tempe, a suburb.
And trivia question of day: Which Phoenix pitcher is only pitcher ever to hurl a perfect game in World Series? Answer - Don Larsen, in late 1950's, pitching for Phoenix Giants.

For business or pleasure, Tapotio
