About us

Continuously inhabited for almost 12,000 years, Tucson’s roots run deep. Native American, Spanish and Mexican cultures along with the lore of the Wild West come together to form the region's rich and fascinating history. Surrounded on all sides by five picturesque mountain ranges and nestled between Saguaro National Park. Tucson is a place that beckons you to explore without boundaries. The JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa lies within a setting that ignites the imagination and luxurious accommodations that rejuvenate the soul. This majestic landscape dotted with towering Saguaros provides the ideal backdrop for the largest and most extensive meeting space in Southern Arizona. Rich colors inspired by the Sonoran Desert landscape enhance the warm Southwestern interior designs. Ceilings are crafted from Saguaro cactus spines. Subtle landscaping both preserves and complements the natural environment. With the very highest levels of style and service Starr Pass is not simply a gathering destination, it is an inspiration. Meeting facilities at Starr Pass provide a relaxed yet stimulating setting. A total of 88,000 sq. ft. of function / meeting space with 41,000 sq. ft. of indoor and 47,000 sq. ft. of outdoor meeting, exhibit and banquet space is available for your special event. Lavish ballrooms with 22-foot ceilings, spacious foyers offering spectacular views of the rugged desert terrain, and the unrivaled hospitality afforded by only JW Marriott resorts ensure every gathering here is a memorable occasion. Only minutes from Tucson International Airport, Starr Pass is as convenient as it is breathtaking. Golfers will be challenged by the 27 holes of championship golf at Starr Pass Golf Club. And for the relaxation seeker, find bliss in a host of nature inspired treatments at the luxurious, 20,000 sq. ft. Hashani Spa.
