Camelback Inn, a JW Marriott Resort & Spa
Unveiling a treasure

Every couple wants to offer something fresh to their wedding guests—ideas and plans that no one has ever seen before. Beginning this spring, couples who host their weddings at the Camelback Inn can truly present something new.

An ambitious renovation at the Camelback Inn is turning this venue into something completely new: Enter the property via a welcoming grand entrance, linger in the soothing experiential courtyard among the water and fire elements, or relax in one of two new restaurants with beautiful outdoor seating and enjoy the spectacular view. What a perfect place to start a new life together.

The “something old” here is the unparalleled service and attention to detail that you have come to expect from Marriott properties. With its historic charm and Southwest elegance, the Camelback Inn harkens back to a time when the West was a new frontier, full of expansive views and natural beauty. Since 1936, this Arizona landmark, with its lush, grassy courtyards, distinctive Southwestern architecture and panoramic mountain views, has been recognized as an ideal wedding venue.

You may have to rely on your relatives for that “something borrowed,” since virtually everything for your celebration here will be unveiled for the first time this March—right down to the ballroom where you’ll share your first meal as husband and wife. Bed linens, room décor, new restaurants—all for you!

The culinary team at the Camelback Inn goes above and beyond your expectations by providing delicious brunches, luncheons and dinners to delight even the most discriminating guests.

Imagine a beautifully catered summer brunch including an omelet station and a carving station with everyone’s favorite Prime Rib, in addition to French pastries, bagels and smoked salmon, a selection of cheeses and green salads. Naturally, the Inn serves exquisite luncheons and dinners as well—and every selection includes a made-to-order wedding cake baked by JW Marriott’s own pastry chefs.

If you choose to exchange vows outdoors, you might select the lovely North Garden, complete with blooming flowers and views of Camelback Mountain and the Lakeview Inn, which features flowing waterfalls and lush fairway views. (Of course, there’s golf here!) With the Arizona sky as a canopy and desert mountains as a backdrop, every view is breathtaking.

The accommodations at the Camelback Inn have always been among the most welcoming in the Southwest. The casitas are oh-so-spacious and the plush robes could make you reconsider that gown! When the parties are done, you’ll slip into the luxury you deserve, and so will your guests. It’s time to enjoy the sweet pampering of this time of your life.

If you’re looking for “something blue,” spend some time at the spectacular pool oasis—complete with private cabanas for a midday embrace. This is where time truly stands still.
