JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa

JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa is a mountainside escape just on the outskirts of Tucson, overlooking the saguaro cacti-dotted Sonoran landscape from every angle.

A renovation completed in 2026 brings the iconic, adobe-inspired resort to new life, creating compelling reasons for golfers, wellness, family, and business travelers alike to return. The 575 re-imagined guest rooms and suites and 100,000 square feet of updated meeting space now all reflect a desert-modern aesthetic that’s as light-filled as Arizona, while the revamped 27-hole golf course is back to championship-level play (alongside a new clubhouse restaurant and pro shop).

Moments from Saguaro National Park, the resort expands its own desert offerings with an award-winning spa, seven diverse dining options, and a sprawling pool complex featuring southern Arizona’s largest lazy river and waterslide. Guests enjoy included amenities like guided hikes, Native American-led rituals, and nightly tequila toasts, often flavored with ingredients from the resort’s garden.
