SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Sept. 15, 2021—Officials of The Cornerstone Collective today announced the multi-million-dollar renovation of the 158-room Courtyard by Marriott Salt River in Arizona. 

With a targeted completion date of Fall 2021, the renovation includes many custom elements and enhances brand standards by focusing on the hotel’s location on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. 

Owned by Ba’ag ceksan (Eagle Mark), LLC, the Courtyard is the first Marriott hotel built on tribal land in the United States. 

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 renovation includes all guest rooms and public spaces, including lobby, bistro, breakfast area, bar, ballrooms and meeting space and fitness center.
