The Cornerstone Collective is renovating the Courtyard by Marriott Salt River in Arizona.
The renovation includes all guestrooms and public spaces, including lobby, bistro, breakfast area, bar, ballrooms and meeting space and fitness center.
“While respecting the original design intent, our vision is to further elevate the property with design elements that honor the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community,” said Suzie Hall, founder and CEO, The Cornerstone Collective. “Sleek, shimmering materials will represent water, while textured, woven elements will represent the tribes’ history of basket-weaving. Like the two tribes coming together to create one community, two color palettes—warm earth and cool water—will be used in harmony to create one cohesive design.”
The hotel is part of the Talking Stick Entertainment District.
The project is slated for completion in the fall. Owned by Ba’ag ceksan (Eagle Mark), the Courtyard is the first Marriott hotel built on tribal land in the United States.
