    Brochure. Zustand: Very good. This is a tourism promotional brochure. Format is 8 inches by 9 inches folded so that is appears 4 inches by 9 inches. 12 pages with color illustrations and maps. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is the visitor center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It features exhibits and displays, historic spacecraft and memorabilia, shows, two IMAX theaters, and a range of bus tours of the spaceport. "Space Shuttle Atlantis" is home to the real Space Shuttle Atlantis orbiter and the Shuttle Launch Experience, a simulated ride into space. Until recently, the center now provides astronaut training experiences, including a multi-axial chair and Mars Base simulator. The visitor complex also has daily presentations from a veteran NASA astronaut. A bus tour, included with admission, encompasses the separate Apollo/Saturn V Center. There were 1.7 million visitors to the visitor complex in 2016. Delaware North operates Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, helping NASA educate, inspire and inform guests about the country's space program. The guest experience includes tours of Kennedy Space Center, larger-than-life IMAX films, live shows, hands-on activities and Shuttle Launch Experience. What's more, in June 2013, Delaware North opened the doors to Space Shuttle Atlantis - a $100 million exhibit that not only showcases the retired shuttle as it's never been seen before, but also celebrates the rich history of the United States space program. It all began with a simple idea based on a foundation of service. In 1915, brothers Marvin, Charles and Louis Jacobs took the first step toward realizing the American dream by establishing a modest vending business in Buffalo, N.Y. Through hard work, dedication and innovative thinking, that small business has grown into one of the largest and most successful hospitality companies in the world. The legacy endures today through Chairman Jeremy Jacobs - a son of one of the founding Jacobs brothers - and his three sons, who are all company chief executive officers. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. …

    Brochure. Zustand: Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. Illustrations (color). This is a welcome brochure presumably given to guests or potential guests. After a brief statement about KSL Resorts, there is a specific welcome to the Arizona Biltmore. The brochure states that the decor showcases Wright's appreciation for the arts, and highlights the courtyard patio, the exotic spa, the event rooms, the pool with blue and yellow tiles brought over from Catalina, the desert and associated landscape, and shopping. At the end there is a list of eight memorable golf and spa resorts. The Arizona Biltmore Hotel is a resort located in Phoenix near 24th Street and Camelback Road. Designed by Albert Chase McArthur, it opened on February 23, 1929 as part of the Biltmore Hotel chain. Actors Clark Gable and Carole Lombard often stayed there and the Tequila sunrise cocktail was invented there. It later became part of Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts. Warren McArthur, Jr., and brother Charles McArthur along with John McEntee Bowman, the entrepreneur behind the Biltmore Hotel chain, opened the Arizona Biltmore on February 23, 1929. The Arizona Biltmore's architect of record is Albert Chase McArthur (brother of the hotel owners), yet the design is often mistakenly attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright. This is due to Wright's on-site consulting for four months in 1928 relating to the "Textile Block" construction used in the hotel. Albert McArthur had been a draftsman for Wright, and specifically asked Wright to assist with implementing the textile block system, which became a signature element of the hotel's appearance. The hotel has similarities to several Wright buildings, especially in the main lobby, owing to a strong imprint of the unit block design that Wright had utilized on four residential buildings in the Los Angeles area six years earlier. McArthur is indisputably the architect as original linen drawings of the hotel in the Arizona State University Library archives attest, as does a 1929 feature article in Architectural Record magazine. The two architects are a study in contrast with the famous and outspoken Wright being self-taught and never licensed as an architect in Arizona. The more soft-spoken McArthur was Harvard-trained in architecture, mathematics, engineering, and music. McArthur obtained an architect's license in Arizona, number 338, in 1925, the year he arrived in Phoenix to begin his practice. Adding to the confusion, Frank Lloyd Wright influences have been added to the property over the years. This includes a stained glass window design entitled "Saguaro Forms and Cactus Flowers" that Wright designed as a magazine cover for Liberty Magazine in 1926. It was fabricated by Taliesin students and installed during the 1973 hotel renovations and restoration. Reproductions of the geometric 'sprite' statues originally designed by Wright and sculpted by Alfonso Iannelli for the 1915 Midway Gardens project in Chicago are placed around the property. Also, the original hotel solarium was converted to a restaurant in 1973 and since the mid-1990s has been named 'Wright's'. Three onsite restaurants bear Wright's name: Wright's at the Biltmore, The Wright Bar, and Frank & Albert's. Three construction crews worked 24 hours a day to complete the hotel. S. M. Benet & Company of Beverly Hills, California was contractor with L. D. Richardson serving as project superintendent. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.…

    Booklet. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 6 inches by 9 inches. 12 pages (unpaginated), and back cover folds out. Illustrated front and back cover. Illustrations (some in color). The first part of this short booklet presents the history of the Arizona Biltmore. The second part presents the art of the Arizona Biltmore., including a full-page back-lit geometrical stainded-glass mural titled Saguaro Forms and Cactus Flowers. It is located in the foyer and was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Westin Hotels & Resorts is an American upscale hotel chain owned by Marriott International. As of June 30, 2020, the Westin Brand has 226 properties with 82,608 rooms in multiple countries in addition to 58 hotels with 15,741 rooms in the pipeline. On January 5, 1981, the company changed its name again to Westin Hotels (a contraction of the words Western International). The chain's flagship Washington Plaza Hotel in Seattle was the first property to be rebranded, becoming The Westin Hotel on September 1, 1981. That same year, Westin opened a new corporate headquarters directly across the street in the Westin Building, which shared a parking garage with the hotel.
