DEBUT OF NEW BALLROOM AND ENHANCED MEETING SPACE AT THE SHERATON WILD HORSE PASS RESORT & SPA

Jan 13, 2010

One of North America'ss best resorts is now even better, introducing the new ballroom and enhanced meeting space at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa. The expansion project debuted on June 3, 2009. The process has added 25,884 square feet of additional meeting space to the Resort offering limitless new business opportunities and ensuring that the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa has the competitive edge amongst any comparable luxury resort.

Designed by Jacobs Carter Burgess the new ballroom alone is 15,000 sq. ft, divisible into 7 sections, the two additional meeting rooms at nearly 1,000 sq. ft each and a foyer offering 8,884 sq. ft of pre-function space now bring the resort's total meeting space square footage to 70,000. "In light of the current economy and in a time where many resort additions and enhancements have been halted we consider ourselves very fortunate to be sharing this good news," said Director of Sales and Marketing, Patrick Connors. "We realize that it is an uncommon privilege this year to wield a pair of oversized scissors at ceremonial ribbon cuttings."

This added space will offer a new opportunity for many large groups to book the Resort's 500 rooms and comfortably feed and house meetings of up to 900 people. In addition, this new space will appeal to national trade shows needing ample exhibit space, national associations, social catering events and large pharmaceuticals. Jacobs Carter Burgess designed the space to reflect the culture and authenticity represented throughout the Resort's existing architecture and decor. The round design of the foyer is reminiscent of the traditional Pima roundhouse and honors the customs of the Pima and Maricopa Tribes.

The Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, located on the Gila River Indian Community, is a total destination resort showcasing the heritage, culture, art and legends of the Pima and Maricopa Tribes. The resort offerings include: 500 culturally themed rooms, AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star Dining at Kai, the 17,500 square-foot and Forbes Four-Diamond Native American Aji Spa; 36-holes of Troon-managed golf at Whirlwind Golf Club; the 1,000-acre Koli Equestrian Center, and a boat cruise Rawhide Western Theme Town and Steakhouse. The Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa goes beyond Green and promotes both Cultural Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility. Having led the industry for the last five years in Geotourism, the Resort is now looking to be the leader in Eco-stewardship with the new GeoGreen initiative that combines recycling and conservation efforts with cultural preservation while offering guests a unique experience and a sense-of-place. The Resort has received several honors for our GeoGreen efforts including: The Travel Industry Association of America Odyssey Award for "Sustaining an Indigenous Culture or Community, The Stay List, 150 Hotels You'll Love based on Eco-Stewardship and Sense-of-Place, National Geographic Traveler; and The Arizona Governor's Cultural Preservation Award.
