Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes has completed a multimillion-dollar renovation, enhancing its guestrooms, suites, and fitness center and expanding outdoor meeting and dining spaces. Located among the Tempe Buttes, the resort offers breathtaking 180-degree views, and this transformation further solidifies the resort’s reputation as a premier destination for business and leisure travelers.
Since its debut in the 1980s, Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes has been known for its cascading waterfalls indoors and outdoors, expansive pools, first-class dining, and exceptional meeting facilities. Its prime location, just three miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and minutes from Arizona State University, makes it a sought-after resort for locals and visitors. From the Tempe resort’s public spaces, guests can take in sweeping views that stretch from Downtown Phoenix to the Superstition Mountains in Mesa.
The extensive renovation of Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes, led by Columbia Sussex, includes a refresh of all 353 guestrooms and suites, including the presidential suite, chairman suite, and seven studio rooms. The redesign incorporates contemporary luxury with a refined, modern aesthetic featuring new furnishings and decor, enhanced lounging and workspace areas, luxury bedding, and updated bathrooms. Each room is designed for relaxation and productivity, offering high-speed Wi-Fi, 55-in. TVs with premium entertainment options, in-room coffee bars, and full-length and backlit vanity mirrors. Nightstands and lamps are equipped with USB and USB-C ports for added convenience. The bathrooms are updated with glass shower doors, white quartz countertops, and new floor tile, as well as upgraded amenities like Aveda shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Plus, Matrix Fitness has completely redesigned the fitness center, offering cutting-edge cardio equipment that connects seamlessly with guests’ mobile devices, allowing them to stream content or follow guided workouts.
With unmatched views of Camelback Mountain, Twin Peaks, and Downtown Phoenix, the resort’s alfresco dining options have been expanded to offer even more opportunities for guests to enjoy Arizona’s stunning landscapes. On the Rocks, the newly expanded lobby bar patio, now offers an array of craft cocktails set against the backdrop of Twin Peaks and Downtown Tempe. Kachina Patio now accommodates up to 250 guests, providing the perfect setting for luncheons, cocktail receptions, and elegant dinner events with mountain views.
Top of the Rock, the resort’s signature restaurant, is a top dining destination that offers panoramic views of the Phoenix and Tempe skyline. Whether staying at the hotel or simply looking for an unforgettable meal, Top of the Rock is a must-visit. By day, soak in the stunning desert landscape, and by night, watch the city light shimmer in the distance. Top of the Rock has an impressive craft cocktail menu, offering a mix of classic and seasonal creations. A standout is the lychee martini, offering a refreshing sip alongside house favorites designed to complement the menu. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with warm, house-baked bread, setting the tone for the meal.
Top of the Rock’s bread service features two options: a sweet cornbread and a fluffy rosemary-infused bread topped with melted cheese. Served fresh and warm, each bite simply melts in your mouth. A show-stopping appetizer is the Tombo Tuna Cigars; not just for their flavor but for their dynamic presentation. Served in a wooden cigar box, smoke escapes upon opening it, enhancing the dish with a rich, smokey essence. Each crispy rice paper “cigar” is packed with a flavorful ahi tuna filling, offering a crunch from macadamia nuts and a creamy balance from avocado, all finished with black sesame seeds and a side of fresh lime. Top of the Rock delivers an array of expertly crafted entrees, from steaks to seafood specialties like miso-glazed sea bass and Ora King salmon. Pasta lovers will appreciate the seasonal ravioli, while those craving comfort food can savor the roasted half chicken, served with broccolini and grilled peaches for a balance of sweet and savory flavors.
With these enhancements and first-class dining, Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes continues to elevate its status as a premier destination in the Valley, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, modern luxury, and world-class service.
