Camelback Inn Scottsdale Resort & Spa

The JW Marriott Camelback Inn Scottsdale Resort & Spa puts 453 pueblo-style casitas and suites across 125 acres of Sonoran Desert in Paradise Valley, just 7.5 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Every room comes with a private patio or balcony, and 27 suites include living rooms, dining rooms, and sundecks, with seven featuring their own private pools. The resort dates to 1936 and sits at the foot of Camelback and Mummy Mountains, giving it a setting that draws both leisure travelers and large group programs. On-site dining includes Lincoln Steakhouse and Rita’s Cantina, a Mexican restaurant and bar whose design channels the resort’s original 1930s-era casita aesthetic.

The Paradise Ballroom covers 15,000 square feet and accommodates up to 1,500 guests for a reception or 950 for a seated dinner.
