Talking Stick Resort

For meeting planners looking to have it all, Talking Stick Resort presents the relaxed elegance of a leisure resort, the facilities of a first-class conference hotel, and a wide array of options for entertainment in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Many find the highlight of the $450 million resort — an enterprise of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community — to be the 21-room conference center, which includes a nearly 25,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art ballroom that seats 3,000 attendees. Along with 113,000 square feet of diverse indoor and outdoor conference and event space, the resort offers 496 deluxe guest rooms and suites in a 15-story tower that features sweeping views of Scottsdale’s magnificent mountains and vast Valley of the Sun.

Between meetings, delegates gravitate to one of the most dramatic areas of the resort: the central pool with its lineup of private cabanas. They also have access to 12 restaurants and lounges, a 650-seat showroom and after-hours nightclub, a nearly 300,000-square-foot casino floor, a 13,000-square-foot luxury spa overlooking the valley, and 36 holes of championship golf.

At the Talking Stick Golf Club, two Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore designs offer distinctive layouts, one links-style and one more traditional. Wild horses and other creatures roam free at the perimeter of the courses, adding to the atmosphere of native desert tranquility tinged with sophistication and excitement.
