Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes Completes Multi-Million Dollar Renovation
When choosing a resort near the airport, compromises often come with the territory - but not here. At Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes, you can have it all - convenience, comfort, and unforgettable views.
Originally built in the 1980s, this resort was ahead of its time - seamlessly built into the mountainside, offering some of the most stunning panoramic views Phoenix has to offer. Tucked away on a quiet stretch of Tempe, this hidden gem provides easy access to the city while feeling like a true escape. Step out onto the patio at the resort’s signature restaurant, Top of the Rock, and take in breathtaking sights of Downtown Phoenix, the iconic Biltmore area, Downtown Tempe, and landmarks like Camelback Mountain, Piestewa Peak, and the Superstition Mountains shimmering in the distance. Simply put - it doesn’t get better than this.
In a city like Phoenix, location matters. Here, you’re just 10 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport and close to top attractions like the Desert Botanical Garden. But once you arrive, it’s easy to forget the world outside — this resort feels like a tranquil desert oasis.
From the moment you enter, you’ll be greeted by the calming sound of water cascading down the mountainside, framed by panoramic desert views — confirming you’ve made the right choice.
The resort recently completed a multi-million-dollar renovation, elevating everything from the guestrooms and suites to the fitness center, outdoor meeting spaces, and the expanded lobby bar and outdoor dining areas. The redesigned accommodations pay homage to the resort’s harmony with its desert surroundings. A soothing, natural palette reflects the hues of the Tempe Buttes, while subtle textures and tactile materials — like weathered oak, woven raffias, and modern metals — create a look that feels both timeless and effortlessly sophisticated.
The new design exudes understated elegance, blending rustic charm with modern convenience, complete with ambient lighting, enhanced electronic connectivity, and comfortable workspaces designed for both relaxation and productivity. Now guests can enjoy tech-upgrades such as convenient wall outlets, lamp outlets and nightstands outfitted with USB and USB-C ports for multiple electronic devices. As well as other room necessities such as:
• Luxurious bedding with cotton-rich linens, fluffy pillows and embroidered robes
• High-speed Wi-Fi and a large desk with a well-lit workspace, comfortable chair and plug-in panels
• 55-inch flat-panel TVs with the Marriott Entertainment Package, including premium cable and movie channels to keep guests well-entertained
• In-room coffee bar
• Strategically placed mirrors, including back-lit vanity mirror and full-length mirrors.
Simply put, the rooms are spacious and well-curated to be your home away from home. “Our resort is the perfect location for motivating business meetings and relaxing and rejuvenating leisure stays,” Rebecca Wuppermann, general manager, shared. “ We are blessed with nearly year-round perfect weather and pleased to share the renovation with our many repeat guests, as well as those who may not have discovered our gem in the desert. We welcome everyone with our signature Marriott service.”
Need a little extra unwind time, head down to the discreet Narande Spa! Here, you can expect an array of services such as massages, facials, and body wraps to take that stress away. By booking a service, you can even extend the wellness and let the soothing aromatherapy soak even deeper in the finnish dry sauna. Be sure to check for any promotions offered ahead of booking your service.
Dining options on-site include Market Café, perfect for quick bites, hearty breakfasts, and fresh coffee, and The Lobby Bar which offers elevated bar bites such as Huevos Ranchero Deviled Eggs, Fish Tacos, and more. The standout dining option on-site is Top of the Rock, where elevated cuisine meets equally impressive views.
Whether you’re here for business, leisure, or a little of both — you’ll find everything you need (and plenty you didn’t expect) at Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes.
