Easter at the Arizona Biltmore: Celebrating Tradition, Connection, and a Few New Suprises
There are some traditions that simply feel like spring in Phoenix. At the Arizona Biltmore, Easter brunch in the Gold Room is one of them. For generations, families have gathered beneath the Gold Room’s shimmering ceiling to celebrate the holiday together, returning year after year for a brunch that has become almost legendary. From the abundant buffet to the joyful Easter egg hunts on the lawn, Easter at the Arizona Biltmore is a celebration filled with familiar moments guests look forward to each season.
This year, the tradition continues with a few thoughtful new additions that bring even more energy, creativity, and connection to the holiday weekend.
The Tradition Everyone Comes Back For
Easter Brunch in the Gold Room has long been one of Phoenix’s most celebrated holiday dining experiences. The atmosphere alone feels special, an elegant historic setting filled with laughter, families, and the excitement of spring celebrations.
The buffet itself is as impressive as ever. Guests can move from carving stations to seafood displays, savor made-to-order omelets, explore the Biltmore Raw Bar, and indulge in a beautiful array of pastries and desserts. And then there’s the detail that longtime guests instantly recognize: the iconic ice sculpture seafood display, a centerpiece that has become part of the Easter tradition. It’s a brunch designed to linger over, where multiple generations gather around the table and the celebration unfolds at an easy, joyful pace

A New Way to Kick Off Easter Weekend
While brunch remains the centerpiece of the celebration, this year introduces something new to the Easter lineup: the Biltmore Bunny Hop. Taking place the day before Easter, the Bunny Hop is a festive 4K run or walk designed for everyone, from seasoned runners to families strolling with kids (and even a few dogs in tow). The event brings guests together outdoors to enjoy the beautiful spring weather while celebrating wellness, movement, and community. It’s lighthearted, playful, and the perfect way to start a weekend that’s all about connection and celebration.
Even More Fun for Families
Easter at the Arizona Biltmore has always been family-friendly, but this year’s brunch adds a few extra touches designed especially for younger guests. Children can enjoy new activities like face painting, arts and crafts, and interactive games, giving them plenty to explore between trips to the dessert table. The Easter Bunny will also be making appearances throughout the celebration for photos and special interactions, always a highlight for kids and families. These new additions make the experience feel even more festive while keeping the warm, welcoming spirit the holiday is known for.
The Egg-stravagant Moment Everyone Waits For
Of course, no Easter celebration would be complete without an egg hunt. At the Arizona Biltmore, the tradition unfolds on the resort’s beautiful Aztec Lawn, where children race across the grass in search of colorful eggs hidden throughout the grounds. Parents gather along the sidelines, cameras ready, as the excitement builds. It’s one of those moments that perfectly captures the spirit of the day, pure joy, laughter, and the unmistakable energy of spring. The resort will be offering three egg hunts on Easter Sunday.
Part of what makes Easter at the Arizona Biltmore so special is the way it blends timeless traditions with new experiences, creating meaningful moments families will remember for years to come.
