SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - (April 14, 2026) - The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, the cornerstone of Scottsdale’s vibrant Kierland district, has announced a multi-phase renovation designed to further elevate its position as a premier destination for meetings, conferences, and group experiences.

This comprehensive transformation includes a full modernization of the resort’s three ballrooms and 45 meeting spaces, enhanced arrival and networking environments, and thoughtfully- designed social venues that foster connection, ensuring an elevated, seamless experience for planners and attendees alike.

A Premier Destination for High-Performing Meetings

The renovation introduces contemporary design, upgraded finishes, and state-of-the-art technology across all meeting environments, creating dynamic spaces that support productivity, engagement, and memorable experiences.

Equally important, the resort continues to deliver exceptional service scores and guest satisfaction ratings, consistently recognized as the top in its category providing planners with confidence in execution and an elevated level of personalized service.

“At its core, this resort has always been about connection,” said Derek Ellis, General Manager. “This next evolution enhances not only our physical spaces, but the way meetings and events are experienced by bringing people together in ways that feel both impactful and effortless, supported by the intuitive service our team is known for.”

Designed for Connection Beyond the Meeting Room
The renovation extends beyond traditional meeting space to create a fully integrated experience:

• A reimagined lobby and arrival experience designed for informal networking.
• An expanded Scotch Library offering curated group tastings and buyouts.
• A new, hidden speakeasy ideal for VIP receptions and exclusive gatherings.
• Enhanced outdoor venues, including Antidote, Scottsdale’s largest patio bar.
