Redesigning Your Experience at JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort

Everything is changing except our magnificent views! We have embarked on a journey that
will transform the JW Marriott Desert Springs utilizing unexpected Desert oasis motifs while
stringing the story of Desert riches from one space to the next.

Every well-crafted detail is being re-designed in our common spaces, guestrooms, suites and
meeting space. The sense of carefree whimsy that visitors desire will be transformed in playful,
sophisticated moments.

Frank Sinatra, an icon in Palm Desert, is featured in the
largest Ballrooms where he held his last performance.
In honor of “Old Blue Eyes,” the mid century style of
the Sinatra era and shades of blue are incorporated into
the palate. The ballroom entry doors pull architectural
elements from the lobby area and are re-designed to
provide a sophisticated grand entrance.
