Set against the Sonoran Desert and the fairways of Wildfire Golf Club, JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa spreads across a landscaped resort campus in north Phoenix. Newly transformed rooms and suites use calm natural tones, with balconies or patios opening to mountain, garden, golf or pool views. The property moves between poolside cabanas, a lazy river and waterslides, the Revive Spa, championship golf and a broad dining collection including Tia Carmen, Kembara and Meritage. Desert paths, palms and water features give the resort its sense of place.
