The property is located among Tucson Mountain and Saguaro National Park.

The renovation is part of a broader property-wide update. The meeting and event spaces now include 38 venues, including the 20,000-square-foot Arizona Ballroom, the largest ballroom in Tucson, and 26 flexible breakout rooms. The resort can accommodate up to 3,300 attendees for meetings and events.

The redesign was led by Ellis Adams Group. The updated spaces feature native woods, woven textiles, handcrafted details, aged leather, patinated metals, and canvas textures. The renovation also introduced a seamless flow between meeting spaces and open-air gathering areas.

Additional enhancements across the resort include refurbishments to the golf course and clubhouse, as well as updates to the Reflection Pools and Salud Terrace, which now offer modern cabanas and seating arranged around fire features.

The property is owned by Southwest Value Partners. The resort offers a total of 575 guest accommodations, including both rooms and suites. The meeting and event facilities are designed to support a range of group sizes and event types.
