This Week's New (or Improved) Hotels

It was already a top choice for luxury stays in Phoenix, but the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa is even nicer after completing a $16 million renovation.  The decor of the newly redesigned 950 guest rooms now reflects the desert area with textured carpets and wall coverings. Beds have been upgraded with new padded headboards, adjustable nightlamps and "Marriott's Revive Bed" accessories.  And every room now has wireless internet access.

 

The largest JW Marriott in the world (1,005 guest rooms), the JW Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, opened February 4th in downtown Indy.  It's the last piece of "Marriot Place", where you'll find over 2,200 hotel rooms spread around the JW, the Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, a SpringHill Suites, a Fairfield Inn and the Marriott Indianapolis Downtown.  The new JW is also the tallest hotel in Indiana (34 stories, 375 feet) and is all connected to the Indiana Convention Center via skywalks.
