The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa

The hotel has an Adventure Water Park with a 274-metre lazy river and a 33.5-metre water slide that ends in a pool. Guests can book lessons on a surfing simulator, a feature most hotels cannot offer outside of coastal locations. The property also offers an award-winning golf course designed by Scott Miller and an Agave Spa that provides therapies from multiple cultural traditions, including body wraps, steam rooms, and a full range of hair and beauty services.

All rooms come with the Westin signature Heavenly Bed and a balcony or patio that overlooks the golf course or desert landscape. The rooms are stocked with multiple bottled waters daily and have empty mini-fridges that guests can fill with their own groceries. Room service is available daily, and guests can request a late checkout through the front desk if needed.

On-site dining includes Faro & Brag, which serves a breakfast buffet with an omelet station, and Brittlebush Bar & Grill for poolside meals. The Scotch Library offers a selection of over 300 whiskey labels, making it one of the largest collections in the state. The hotel also has a coffee house on site for quick breakfast items and coffee.

The Adventure Water Park has a shallow, 3.5-foot-deep river and a short water slide that is safe for young children. The hotel offers complimentary yoga classes for all ages, though the class schedule is not widely advertised and requires guests to ask at check-in. Kids can also use the games room with billiards, darts, and table tennis, plus a children's playground on the property.

The resort is across the street from Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter, two outdoor shopping and dining complexes. A complimentary on-demand shuttle runs between the hotel and these shopping centers. Valet parking is $25 per night, and self-parking is available as a paid alternative, with 24-hour security and CCTV throughout the property.
