Originally built by Wrigley as a gift for his wife, the mansion was opened to the public when it was purchased and restored by Geordie Hormel in 1992. The mansion’s residential location means that it is required by the city to operate as a private club, offering affordable “memberships” for visitors who want to stop in for a meal, wine, or afternoon tea. Area residents can choose from a variety of long term membership options.xa0 Guided tours give visitors a chance to get to learn more about the mansion’s architecture and the history of the two instrumental families that created what the mansion is today. Plus, a guide shares entertaining tidbits—such as ghost stories—that you would miss if visiting the mansion on your own. The mansion is also included on some Phoenix city tours.
Wrigley Mansion is located next door to the Arizona Biltmore resort and spa. Take Highway 51 North to East Lincoln Drive, turn right onto North 24th Street and then left onto East Arizona Biltmore Circle. The mansion is off of East Telawa Trail. Park at the bottom of the hill and walk up to the mansion or use valet parking to skip the steep walk.
The mansion is open all year round, but check the online schedule for specific events, closures, and hours.
Gordie’s Restaurant offers a fine dining experience in a historic setting with everything from romantic indoor seating to a patio with a view. You can stop in for a meal (reservations recommended) or book a private dinner, holiday brunch, wine pairing, or afternoon tea. The combination of a top-notch chef, over 800 wines, and historic charm have garnered the restaurant numerous awards.
