The Wigwam

Designated as a "Historic Hotel of America," The Wigwam is an iconic Arizona landmark and AAA Four-Diamond resort for over a decade that is located in the upscale community of Litchfield Park, just 15 miles west of downtown Phoenix. The Wigwam's beginnings date back to 1918 when the resort was first built as a quaint gathering place for the Ohio-based executives of Goodyear Tire & Rubber who discovered the West Valley of Phoenix as a prime location to grow cotton for rubber production. On Thanksgiving Day in 1929, The Wigwam opened as a full-service resort with accommodations for 24 guests who received a horse and room key upon check-in. The resort celebrated 85 years on Nov. 28, 2014. Today, The Wigwam spans over 440 acres on an estate-like setting and features 331 casita-style guest rooms, including 72 suites, crafted from distinctive adobe architecture. The resort offers 54 holes of championship golf, the 26,000-square-foot Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa, four pools with two twisting water slides, and five restaurants and bars. The Wigwam invites guests to create new traditions and lasting memories by participating in a variety of activities from morning nature walks to cooking classes, wine tasting events and more.
