The Wigwam

What The Wigwam does

The Wigwam is a privately held, historic luxury resort located on a 440-acre property at 300 E Wigwam Blvd, Litchfield Park, Arizona, in the West Valley of Phoenix. Originally built in 1918 as executive housing for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, it opened to the public on Thanksgiving Day 1929 and is managed under Pyramid Hotel Group. The property operates 331 guestrooms ranging from Garden, Oasis, and Fairway Rooms through multiple suite categories and accessible rooms, supported by four food and beverage outlets (Litchfield's, Red Allen's Bar & Grill, Wigwam Bar, and In-Room Dining), a 26,000 sq ft LeMonds Aveda Salon-Spa, three outdoor pools, tennis and fitness facilities, and over 100,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor event space. The Wigwam's signature amenity is its 54-hole championship golf operation across the Gold, Patriot, and Heritage courses — including two designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. — making it the only Arizona resort with 54 holes on a single site, supported by the Warren Schutte Players Academy and full-service pro shop.

The business model is multi-vertical hospitality revenue: nightly room and suite revenue across multiple rate tiers, F&B and catering, golf green fees/memberships/lessons, spa services and memberships, and event/wedding bookings. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the resort's Synxis-powered booking engine and a centralized phone reservation line (844-239-1641), augmented by third-party OTAs, travel advisors, AAA and affinity partnerships, and a preferred BTS Transportation airport-transfer partner. Targeted customer segments include couples and romance seekers, families, golf enthusiasts, wedding parties, corporate and meeting planners, and Arizona residents, with promotional programs such as AZ Resident Rate, Salute to Heroes, Educator's Escape, and AAA Member Rate providing price discrimination across segments. The property charges a $42 daily resort fee and a $150 pet fee, and is a Historic Hotels of America member with AAA Four Diamond designation continuously held from 2004 to 2025 and Green Key Global sustainability certification obtained in 2024.
