Wrigley Mansion

Awhhhhhh, Phoenix. One of the benefits of living here is if you like fancy resorts, venues, and hotels we got our fair share, right? Everyone has their favorite and this is one of mine because I am a history lover too. Newer does not necessarily mean better in my opinion of all things in life. I adore adobe homes rennovated into eateries, historic homes, mansions and older structural buildings. As I noted in another review I might have missed an alternative career calling. The WM is an absolutely gorgeous venue in town tucked behind the Biltmore hotel. This area of town is my favorite. It brings the class of NYC fancy shopping and business like offices, to the natural beauty a tad north of the peaks and desert landscape. Throw in the views of the city and it is a perfect mix of convenience close to town. The Wrigley has always been one of my favs since I first visited it for a bridal shower decades ago. It was once upon a time the summer or maybe winter home of the Wrigley's of chewing gum fame. Later purchased by the Hormel's of canned chili fame. It is now a private club venue with public access granted. Many years ago they decided they would like the general public, us lowly people that could not afford a membership, lol, to be able to come and enjoy such a local treasure too. So now we too could enjoy the gorgeous property. So they found a way to charge a small few dollar access fee to get around the mandatory members only rules and let you and I and anyone be a guest of the day kind of thing. Okay, I am probably not really explaining that very well but in simple terms it means yes you can go. You will see a few dollar fee added to your bill. It used to be 5 dollars but maybe it is more these days. A little history. The venue was a mansion so it has small private rooms you can rent for your event. It is a very popular brunch place and has Gordies a high end restaurant with 5 star drinks and food. Once upon a time they used to have pay as you go events like, "Teacher Happy Hours" and "Jazz nights." They still might. Lately, it seems they have more preplanned events like "coursed meals" and, "alcohol tastings" with set prices. I get a lot of emails invites for these types of events. Sadly, these events are usually way out of my teacher pension budget. They sound delightful though. So if you like that sort of thing sign up for email alerts. The patio is breathtaking and that grand staircase is infamous. It really is a beautiful venue. Brunch runs pricey too but more than worth it for the setup and spread They used to do tours. However, I have no idea if they still do or what the cost on that would be. You might call and ask. A relative got married here and it was one of the prettiest, fanciest, most fun local weddings I have ever attended in the valley. Her photos were breathtaking.

Today was nothing shy of spectacular, all credit due the exceptional guest service. The ambiance was amazing and the bar bites tasted great! My husband and I were celebrating our 5-year wedding anniversary when, Justin (I believe he was the manager), ensured we had a memorable evening. We are forever grateful to Justin and the entire team. 10 out of 10 recommend for any occasion! While we ended up leaving a little early due to not feeling well, we are looking forward to going back soon for a full dinner experience!

Date brunch with my love in this beautiful place, the mansion is really pretty and has amazing views of the city. The service was good but nothing exceptional just like the food, would love to see some more above and beyond. They offer a waffle and dessert bar that you can go and serve yourself and you pick one course and they bring you 3 sides to go with it. You can choose any drink or wine paring with your courses, I picked the paring and it was nice. The sommelier came and poured them for me, it was a champagne, a Cabernet and a dessert rose sparkling wine. We both had the prime rib with eggs.

Took my mom for her birthday... Incredible experience all around. Chef Christopher came out and greeted us and it really made her day!

Not much to see but such a beautiful property. Friendly staff which was nice and we felt welcomed. Bartender also made us amazing drinks to have with us while we roamed around the mansion to look around.

We had friends visiting from out of town & made reservations for jazz night. What a pleasant evening. The musicians were so good & the music just fabulous. The food and beverages were top notch. From the cocktails to the wine list, and the charcuterie, they were all amazing.An experience we will definitely return for!

10/10 experience! Beautiful views, fantastic service, delicious food and drinks! The perfect place for a celebration.

3rd time to the mansion. They have never miss the mark! I highly recommend attending brunch here for any occasion. Views, views, views! I had the privilege of attending Festivin Grand Tasting last night and aside from the amazing food and wine, the service staff was so fun and friendly! Thank you Wrigley for another great time. Cant wait to visit again soon!

A local treasure! Went here for an early dinner on a Friday. The main restaurant and house were closed for renovations, so we dined at Christopher's, which is a smaller restaurant on the front side of the building, with a beautiful view. We sat at the bar and had small plates. The trio of mini burgers were so good we ordered a second round. My dad had a special martini with a frozen olive in an ice cube that was inspired by the Chef's visit to a bar in Paris. The house was officially closed, but Chef Christopher gave us an informal tour, sharing some of the very interesting history and some personal anecdotes of his experiences at the location over the years. So pleased to see the progress in preserving and restoration of the house. Such a great experience!

Tour of the mansion is a must! Super convenient to order tickets online. Just pick your date and time.The parking was a reasonable walk to the stairs. Stairs are quite impressive with beautiful, colorful tile set against white house. Waiting area for the tour was at the wine bar.We were taken from one room to the next. Docent talked about the property and the family that resided there. You will note tables and chairs throughout the rooms. You may dine at one of the two restaurants there. The bar was great, service was good and our mocktails were very yum.
