The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa

With 735 rooms spread across 250 acres in North Scottsdale’s Kierland district, the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa is one of the largest resort hotels in the greater Phoenix area. The property is built around a Sonoran Desert backdrop and draws a wide mix of guests, from corporate retreats and multi-day conferences to destination weddings and family group travel. On-site, guests have access to the Westin Kierland Golf Club, a 27-hole Troon-managed course designed by Scott Miller, along with Agave, The Arizona Spa, and an Adventure Water Park featuring a 110-foot waterslide, a 900-foot lazy river, and a FlowRider surfing simulator. The resort is currently undergoing a multi-phase renovation that modernizes the lobby bar, Scotch Library, pool areas, and all meeting spaces.

The resort offers more than 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space across 3 ballrooms and 45 meeting rooms. The Kierland Grand Ballroom is the flagship space at 25,000 square feet, with 25-foot ceilings and capacity for up to 3,600 guests in theatre-style seating. The Herberger Ballroom adds another 15,000 square feet, and the Trailblazer Ballroom brings an additional 11,000 square feet of flexible event space.
