The Royal Palms

For Labor Day, my parents and I went to Phoenix for the weekend. We stayed at the Royal Palms Resort, which was this really big summer vacation home back in the 30's and 40's for this family from New York. In the 60's it was turned into a hotel and now its one of the nicest resorts in Phoenix. We also met up with our friends, Alex and Xiomara for dinner and desert, and did some shopping. Here are some of the pictures that I took of the resort.

This is the entrance to the main courtyard:

This is one of the Spanish-inspired towers in the main building:This is a small tile I found in one of the walls of the main courtyard. It depicts Don Quixote of La Mancha in his fight against the windmill "monsters".
This is us standing in front of the fountain in the main courtyard:
There were these little outdoor seating areas all over the place, tucked into shady corners, or near the many fountains. We found this one near the restaurant. It's actually build into the ground with a working fireplace and comfy pillows to sit on.
