In the foothills of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, Arizona, Taliesin West rises from the desert as a bold experiment in architecture and living. Designed more than 80 years ago by Frank Lloyd Wright—one of the most influential architects of the 20th century—this desert laboratory was his winter home, studio, and architectural campus. Today, it is both a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Step into Wright’s world at Scottsdale’s only National Historic Landmark. Choose a Self-Guided Audio Tour and explore the site at your own pace using your smartphone and headphones, or join a Guided Tour led by an expert who will share the stories behind Wright’s groundbreaking vision. Both options offer a deep, immersive experience of one of the world’s most iconic architectural sites. Taliesin West also offers group tours for company outings and serves as a venue for corporate events. Call 888-516-0811 to book a tour, group tour or event.
