JW Marriott's Camelback Inn Completes Renovations
Carried out over 18 months, changes include creating a more dramatic arrival leading to a new lobby, debuting chef Laurent Tourondel's BLT Steak, and reclaiming the resort's original adobe bricks for use throughout the project. A new tree-lined passageway with water and fire elements leads to a hacienda-style grand lobby with floor-to-ceiling doors that open onto the resort's courtyard and the postcard views of Camelback Mountain beyond. Additionally, this month also marked the debut of BLT Steak. The renovation also includes the inn's 300 casita-style guestrooms, which now feature new flat-screen TVs, beds and carpeting, as well as new artwork and bathroom fixtures. A new 20,000-square-foot grand ballroom features soaring 24-foot ceilings and keyless entry and security, full wireless connectivity and production quality lighting and sound capabilities.
