Established in 1936 by Jack Stewart and John C. Lincoln, the resort's popularity among Hollywood celebrities and political leaders made it a significant contributor to the region's growth.[1] In 2012, Camelback Inn was one of three North American hotels which had maintained a AAA 5-Diamond rating since the award's inception in 1975.[2] In 2013, AAA reduced the hotel's status to four diamonds.[3] HistoryIn the 1930s, Jack Stewart, a sportswriter and publicist from Fargo, North Dakota, wanted to build a pueblo-style hotel which could reflect Southwestern and Native American culture rather than the more commonplace dude ranch-style resort. Stewart's project was funded by John C. Lincoln, an industrialist and founder of Lincoln Electric, who provided $200,000 and the land which Lincoln owned between the slopes of Mummy and Camelback Mountains. The property was remote desert scrub land located {{convert|12|mi|km}} outside Phoenix and had no water, electricity or telephone access. The resort was constructed of adobe bricks which were made on the site.[4] The rooms were housed in small adobe casitas (Spanish for "small houses"), each named after local cacti and decorated with Native American art.[5] Camelback Inn opened on December 15, 1936 with the slogan "Where Time Stands Still". There were accommodations for 77 guests.[4] Despite the poor economy of the Great Depression, the resort became an immediate success by catering to a wealthy clientele.[5] Stewart operated Camelback Inn as a part-owner until 1968. The resort was acquired in 1968 by Bill Marriott of Marriott International who had first stayed at the resort with his parents as a 16-year-old in 1948. At the time of Marriott's purchase, Camelback Inn was still a seasonal winter resort with 170 rooms and no air conditioning.[8] In March 2003, the hotel was officially rebranded by its parent corporation as Camelback Inn, a JW Marriott Resort & Spa.[6] Camelback Inn underwent a $45 million expansion and renovation in 2008 which included the addition of a new ballroom and two restaurants.[7] AccommodationsCamelback Inn provides 453 casitas (Spanish for "small houses") including 18 larger suites, some with private swimming pools, across a {{convert|125|acre|km2|adj=on}} property.[8] There is a spa with a fitness room, aerobics room, six tennis courts, volleyball court, basketball court and pitch-and-putt golf. There are two heated pools: the spa lap pool and the "JackRabbit" pool with food and beverage service. The resort incorporates the Camelback Golf Club with two 18-hole golf courses.[9] References1. ^{{cite news | first=Susan | last=Felt | url=http://www.azcentral.com/travel/arizona/features/articles/0416tra-camelback0416.html | title=Camelback Inn Endures | publisher=Arizona Republic |date=April 16, 2006}} 2. ^{{cite news | first=Barbara | last=De Lollis | url=http://travel.usatoday.com/hotels/post/2012/01/aaa-unveils-five-diamond-hotel-awards-2012/607154/1 | title=113 hotels get AAA's top award | publisher=USA Today | date= November 5, 2009}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/hotelcheckin/2013/01/17/sneak-peek-aaas-2013-five-diamond-awards-9-new-hotels-added/1843161/|title=Sneak peek: AAA's Five Diamond hotels for 2013|last=De Lollis|first=Barbara|date=January 21, 2013|work=USA Today|accessdate=20 February 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite book | first=Gary |last=Driggs |title=Images of America: Camelback Mountain | publisher=Arcadia Publishing | year=2008 | pages=73–79 | ISBN=978-0-7385-4840-1}} 5. ^1 {{cite book | first=Michael | last=Logan | title=Desert cities: the environmental history of Phoenix and Tucson | publisher=University of Pittsburgh Press |date=October 2006 | pages=128–129 | ISBN=0-8229-4294-1}} 6. ^{{cite news |author=Staff | url=http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/article_8ef9a00f-8ac9-5ad3-ac4b-5d97b17a2179.html | title=Camelback Inn getting prestigious name change | publisher=East Valley Tribune | date=December 13, 2003}} 7. ^1 {{cite news | first=Donna | last=Hogan | url=http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/article_8cdbfcce-a0b8-5800-af3d-d60a001ff55b.html |title=Camelback Inn in middle of $45M makeover | publisher=East Valley Tribune | date=March 27, 2008}} 8. ^Michelle Grimm, "The West's Hottest Desert Resorts", Orange Coast Magazine, September 1992, p.74 9. ^Lesley King, Karl Samson, Shane Christensen, Don Laine, Barbara Laine, Frommer's American Southwest, Volume 21, Frommers (2003), p.399 External links{{commonscat}}
