The Mystery Room at the Arizona Biltmore is a renovation of the original speakeasy that operated in the resort when it opened in 1929. It used to be called the Men's Smoking Room. Back then, the liquor cabinet was disguised as a bookshelf, and there was a spotlight to target patrol cars. While that’s not entirely necessary today, the Mystery Room still boasts the same vibe of the Roaring '20s. The architecture is classic Flank Lloyd Wright, the bartender dresses the part, the music reflects the era, and a password is absolutely necessary. However, it's not that easy to come across. It changes weekly, and clues can be found on the resort's various social media platforms. If you think you've got it, share with the concierge in the lobby and they'll give you directions to the entrance. Don't bother knocking, either. Walk right in. Hours are 8 to 11 p.m. on Sundays.
