25th Anniversary Scientific Meeting Destination: Phoenix Is fine dining your thing? Or maybe world class spa services are what you need to leave your worries behind? Some of the best golf and other recreational offerings? No matter what you need to escape your day-to-day routines back home, the JW Marriott offers it. When not taking in the educational offerings, we invite you to explore the resort and outlaying Phoenix. JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa promises luxury, unparalleled service, endless recreation and exquisite dining. The resort was named one of the top 75 resorts in North America by Conde Nast Traveler. Their golf course was hailed as one of Travel & Leisure Golf's '2006 World's Best Golf Resorts' and they have a full service spa on site. Over ten dining options range from casual eateries and fine Italian to an outpost of the acclaimed Roy's restaurants. Or you can just lounge by one of the pools or float around the lazy river. Feel free to leave the luxurious property and explore the Phoenix area, known as the Valley of the Sun. You can enjoy hiking, hot air ballooning or exploring art galleries and other shopping in Scottsdale. This growing area has excellent dining, exciting nightlife, museums and much more. All this in over 300 days of sunshine each year! Frommer's Phoenix Guide Convention and Visitors Bureau
