The Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass feels like a true escape--an intimate, upscale resort tucked away from the noise of Phoenix. Surrounded by desert beauty, it's an oasis where thoughtful design meets five-star service.
I visited for an accounting industry conference, and the resort's massive conference center handled our large group with ease. But what really stood out? The personalized service from the moment we checked in.
At the front desk, Max, one of the managers, greeted me warmly and thanked me for my Bonvoy status. Not only did he upgrade us to a better-located room, but he also included complimentary breakfasts--a much-appreciated perk.
What truly elevated our stay was the staff. They don't just smile--they remember your name. Whether it was Carol the restaurant hostess, Frank who served us at breakfast twice, or Max again at the front desk, the team made us feel like welcome guests, not just room numbers.
Each morning, we indulged in the Ko'Sin Restaurant's buffet, a highlight of the stay. Thanks to Bonvoy benefits, the full buffet was comped--or we had a $25 credit toward à la carte items. Either way, breakfast was a win.
Our king room was spacious, spotless, and filled with gorgeous local artwork. The modern glass shower was especially refreshing after a hot desert day, and daily housekeeping kept everything perfect.
The resort features two large pools, plus a tucked-away spa pool that's exclusive to spa guests. My wife raved about her facial, and the spa's serene atmosphere felt miles away from the conference bustle.
Despite the business crowd, the resort also attracts plenty of families--drawn to the pools, the walking trails, and the equine center, where guests can learn about horse care. One surreal moment? After exiting I-10, we saw what looked like a dust tornado--but it was actually a herd of wild horses kicking up the desert floor as they passed. Magical.
Evenings were made for cocktails at the lobby bar, followed by stargazing and watching the sunset from the outdoor patio. It's hard to beat the stillness and colors of the desert sky.
We came for a conference, but we left feeling like we'd been on vacation. If you're looking for luxury, nature, and standout service, Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass delivers all three in style.
