Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort

Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort is an all-suite resort on North 7th Street in Phoenix, Arizona, set against the Sonoran Desert mountains of the North Mountain Preserve. Its signature wedding space is Different Pointe of View, a mountaintop restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the preserve and the lights of the city.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Everything you need is in one place here: a ceremony package that pulls several services together, a reception space, suites for guests and a spa for getting ready. An on-site wedding specialist works with you and your planner, which keeps the day in one set of hands. You can take over the whole of Different Pointe of View or book the semi-private Terrace Room for something smaller.

Ceremonies

Ceremonies are held at Different Pointe of View, high above the city, where sunset and the view across the desert do most of the decorating. The resort can recommend planners, florists and photographers if you need them.

Receptions and food

Receptions at Different Pointe of View bring together dinner, drinks and dancing with the city lights below. For a smaller dinner, the Terrace Room offers a semi-private option. The resort also has several other places to eat, including Pointe In Tyme, Cascades Cafe and Cliffside Coffee, which are handy for welcome drinks or a morning-after gathering.

Staying

Every room is a suite, in three categories: Resort Suites, Ambassador Suites and Signature Suites. Upgraded suites can be booked for getting ready before the ceremony. Guests can relax by the pools, cabanas and waterfalls, play golf or book hair, makeup and spa time at Tocaloma Spa and Salon.

Getting there and the area

The resort is in north Phoenix, close to Interstate 17 and the Piestewa Freeway, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a straightforward drive. Hiking trails into the North Mountain Preserve start nearby, and central Phoenix and Scottsdale are an easy drive for guests making a trip of it.
