Resorts, tourism and golf are crucial to the Arizona economy. They provide lots of jobs, as people from all over the country, and internationally, come here in the fall, winter and spring to enjoy our sunshine, warmth, hundreds of golf courses, desert activities, and the hospitality of our resorts.This is the entrance drive leading to the J. W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort. This is Arizona's largest hotel, with 950 rooms, including 81 suites.
The landscaping of this entry drive is rather unusual, as there is tall pampas grass, rather than desert or tropical plants as you see at most resorts.
I will give you a little tour of the resort during the coming week.
This week we are showing photos of the Italian village of Cernobbi on the shores of Lake Como on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

Oh good, looking forward to the tour as this is one resort I haven't had an opportunity to visit yet.
This is indeed a grand entrance. Visitors arriving here would have their expectations uplifted just be driving in the driveway.
Nice occasion for visiting resorts close to home.
We stayed at the villas there twice last summer. I really enjoyed being able to take a nice, leisurely walk every morning. This was in August, the monsoon season. We saw incredible sunsets from our room.
I haven't seen this one yet...looking forward to your posts this week.
Great resort. I have friends who come from out of state each year and stay here. I have joined them for meals etc.
