The legendary Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort has launched its new McArthur’s dining concept. The new restaurant is a reimagination of the resort’s beloved Frank & Albert’s, and the new concept is an ode to Arizona Biltmore’s leading architect, Albert Chase McArthur’s legacy. McArthur was employed by the famed Frank Lloyd Wright, who served as Arizona Biltmore’s consulting architect. Together, McArthur and Wright created a new and unheard-of style that would forever change the modern American architectural landscape.
Building upon Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to culinary excellence, the transformed restaurant celebrates McArthur’s architectural vision offering a warm, inspiring, and inviting place for all travelers complemented by New American cuisine featuring meticulously sourced ingredients. From morning coffee and brunch to late-night conversation, guests can enjoy a moment of reprieve with a mix of classic favorites, healthy dishes, and seasonal specialties. Simply put, McArthur’s is a place for good times and great food within elegant surroundings.
The menu takes cues from traditional American flavors, featuring simple yet uncommonly good food. As reflected within the design of McArthur’s, each plate is equally displayed with the same bright and inviting presentation found throughout the restaurant. While every dish is sure to please, highlights include the Biltmore Benedict with Canadian bacon and hollandaise (inspired by the original Waldorf Astoria New York recipe) for breakfast; Southwestern Crispy Chicken Chopped Salad with bell peppers, roasted corn, avocado, and tomatillo ranch dressing for lunch; and Roasted Brick Chicken with pesto verde, rosemary potato and roasted tomato for dinner. Favorites such as Lobster Mac & Cheese and Ensenada Fish Tacos remain on the menu, as well. A robust beverage menu complements the creative dishes, including an extensive selection of wines, beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. Standout libations include the McArthur’s Spritz with Tempus Fugit Italian aperitif, Vedrenne elderflower, prosecco, tonic and sliced blood orange as well as the legendary Tequila Sunrise, which was famously invented at the resort many years ago.
McArthur’s open-concept space offers guests a vibrant atmosphere, with cozy booths along with larger tables for socializing. The restaurant’s signature style has been preserved, with layered textiles pulling through a familiar sense of place felt around the resort. Shuffleboard, foosball, and other whimsical surprises can also be found throughout the restaurant.
McArthur’s is open daily from Sunday to Thursday from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. For more information or to book a reservation, please visit arizonabiltmore.com/dining/mcarthurs.
