We love finding hidden gems. Although this one is not so hidden because the Marriott Phoenix Chandler is not only the largest legacy brand full service Marriott in the state (128,000 square feet total), the 264-room property features the greatest amount of hotel conference space in the area at 28,000 feet. Located in the bustling Price Corridor, it is managed by Cincinnati-based Winegardner & Hammons Hotel Group, LLC., an affiliate company of the Pyramid Hotel Group, which is one of the predominant hotel management companies in the United States.
With easy access to Loop 101 and Loop 202, we thought it would be a perfect place to invite a group of blogger babes to experience all Chandler, Arizona has to offer with this fabulous hotel being our home base. Our medley of mavens we invited to join in on the fun included local Arizona bloggers SheMovesPhx, JasmineVenturesAZ and AllthePrettys rotating as available throughout the long weekend right before Christmas.
Want to book for the best rates? Do it directly through Marriott and make sure you sign up as a Marriott Bonvoy member too for extra perks and sweet treats!
Located off of the lobby to the right is a small gift shop where you can purchase snacks and things you forgot to pack. We were happy to see multiple filtered water dispensers located throughout the hotel as well as encouraging green practices. And bonus for your fur babies, Marriott Phoenix Chandler is a pet-friendly hotel!
Spearheaded by Executive Chef, Juan Vasquez-Santos, Café MeSo serves a la carte breakfast and a breakfast buffet, as well as lunch and dinner. Café MeSo features a true taste of Arizona by working with local farmers and artisans to boot!
Since we had worked with Visit Chandler on a press trip back in 2017, we reached out and looped them in on the plans to stay at the Marriott Phoenix Chandler. They arranged a whole day of fun for us downtown and to experience what it is like to stay and play for a day… starting with free yoga in the park!
The Downtown Chandler Sipping Santas Pub Crawl takes over Downtown Chandler in December and features drink specials at 20 of the hottest destinations in the downtown area. People are all decked out in their craziest Christmas and holiday attire!
One of my favorite stops on the Sipping Santas tour was The Perch Brewery and Pub. It’s a one of a kind place with a collection of over 50 brightly colored, tropical rescue birds with 40 craft beers on tap!
We ventured along to a few other places too which you can check out on Explore’s Instagram page until we were all starving! Those tacos were long gone and we were getting hangry by this point.
Soon it was time for bed and I crashed hard! All that fun had me too pooped to party although we did try to have some cocktails at the bar, we were all fading fast.
Overlooking the pool area with South Mountain views is a state-of-the-art fitness center featuring an expansive selection of Matrix dumbbells, kettle bells, medicine balls, cardio equipment and a multi-station strength-training machine. You can also work up a sweat on a Peloton Bike or with the Fitness on Demand virtual fitness experience. But it was too beautiful to stay inside!
Remember Marriott Phoenix Chandler is only 20 minutes from the Sky Harbor International airport so it’s not that far from downtown. And it is less than 10 minutes from Chandler Municipal Airport, a general aviation airport ideal for corporate and self-piloted business flights, sport/hobby aviation, and charter and sightseeing excursions. For shopping, a quick Uber away is the Chandler Fashion Center and Phoenix Premium Outlets as well as downtown Ocotillo and Wildhorse Pass Casino. For the golfers, it is close to 7 courses including Ocotillo Golf Club and the San Marcos Golf Course. Stay for yourself and find out what all the fuss is about! And don’t forget to rack up your Marriott Bonvoy points in the process.
