. . . New Ownership and Management Revitalize Legendary Meeting & Incentive Resort With $8 Million Renovation
The legendary Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa in the greater Phoenix area (Litchfield Park, Arizona), has been accepted as the newest member of Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI). As a new member, the resort now receives dedicated National Sales services and support by ALHI’s National Sales team throughout North America. The Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa is now owned by JDM Partners, and managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts, which has several of its leading hotels in the ALHI membership.
“We’re truly pleased to have the renowned Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa back in the national picture as an incredible meeting and incentive option, and again as part of the ALHI membership,” said David Gabri, president and CEO of ALHI. “Wigwam’s beautiful setting and timeless appeal in the popular Phoenix area will be even further enhanced when the resort completes an extensive $8 million makeover this fall, making it a truly outstanding meeting and incentive resort. The resort offers extensive meeting space, beautiful outdoor venues, incredible golf, a world-class spa, and wonderful dining experiences and event culinary expertise.”
Gabri added, “Wigwam complements the already star-studded ALHI portfolio options in the Arizona desert regions, which includes the exquisite new InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, the popular and newly-renovated Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix, the luxurious and sophisticated Royal Palms Resort and Spa, and the famed AAA Five-Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. All are served by the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Add to this the award-winning Loews Ventana Canyon in Tucson, and planners have outstanding options from which to choose. Our ALHI National Sales team is ready and eager to help planners identify the best Arizona solution to suit their programs’ needs.”
The Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa, which recently celebrated its 80th anniversary, is located in the West Valley of Phoenix. Combining casual elegance with the charm of authentic Arizona, Wigwam offers 331 guest rooms (including 72 spacious suites) with beautiful Southwestern décor, 43,000 square feet of indoor meeting space (including the 10,800-square-foot Wigwam Ballroom), 54 holes of championship golf, the luxurious Red Door Spa by Elizabeth Arden, three pools, nine tennis courts, a fitness center, three restaurants (including the AAA Four-Diamond Red’s Steakhouse and the legendary Arizona Kitchen), and three lounges.
The $8 million renovation, slated for completion by October 2010, includes major enhancements to the lobby and main entrance; a new lobby lounge area; a brand new modern pool complex; refurbishment of the restaurant at the golf clubhouse; a new outdoor lawn area for events and functions; and new carpet and soft goods in all guest rooms, that were just remodeled within the past two years. In addition, the project includes an updated makeover of Red’s Steakhouse, slated for completion in December 2010.
