Camelback Inn, A JW Marriott Resort & Spa


An Arizona legend, Camelback Inn, a JW Marriott Resort & Spa occupies 125 acres at the foot of Scottsdale's Camelback Mountain, as it has since 1936. To celebrate its seventieth anniversary, the resort will complete a $40 million transformation in April 2008, encompassing a spectacular arrival area, a rebuilt main lodge, two new restaurants, and all-new, 20,000-square-foot ballroom.

Designed with functionality in mind, the ballroom divides into 14 sections to accommodate from 20 to 2,000 participants. An additional 5,000-square-foot enclosed foyer provides space for large receptions and exhibits as well as two registration desks. The entire facility has 22-foot ceilings and state-of-the-art technology, including keyless entry and security, multiple rigging points and power placements, wireless and high-speed connectivity, production lighting and sound capabilities, and electronic reader boards.

For after-hours socializing, a serene courtyard outside the main lodge comes with water features, fire pits, and views of Camelback Mountain. The restaurants, led by Chef Laurent Tourondel's acclaimed BLT Steak, feature outdoor seating among gardens and fireplaces. “Action Central” remains the Lobby Bar, ideal for guests who wish to congregate in either large or cozy groups.

The resort's authentic Southwest experience also encompasses 36 holes of championship golf, the signature Spa at Camelback Inn, and casitas with traditional decor spread throughout the property. Tours of Arizona's natural wonders along with the resort's proximity to Scottsdale and downtown Phoenix complete a true Arizona experience.

This is one of my favorite resorts in the world. Not only are the grounds immaculate, but you truly feel like you're at a Southwestern desert oasis. I'm local and I love doing staycations here as well as going to the spa. The events I've held here were wonderful (food was superb, conference services & staff were great & my group thoroughly enjoyed each moment we were there). I would have no hesitation about returning to the Camelback Inn.

I love this resort and have had 2 consecutive yearly Summits at The Camelback Inn - I even vacation here and send my parents here for their yearly trip to AZ to celebrate their anniversary. The grounds are spectacular, the food is wonderful and the staff is tremendous. You won't be disappointed!

In all the world...only one! What else can be said. Camelback is one of the finest in Scottsdale. Elegant, service quality that is unsurpassed and all that you may need from golf to spa to meeting facilities. We'll bring more groups back to Camelback.

Loved this property. There are pluses and minuses to a corporate flag and this property had all the pluses. Extremely efficient and careful back-of-the house and conference services. Terrific facilities, plenty of service staff. Greal locales for outdoor events, and meetings. Close to the airport and easy to get to. Terrific spa - huge! Pool is very dramatic as it is built to float above the resort so you don't see the casitas. It's as if you are in the surrounding mountains. Scottsdale downtown a fun place for after-dinner recreation, shopping, etc.
