The resort has multiple restaurants to choose from, but for a sophisticated dining experience, indulge your palate at Deseo, the resort's premier eatery.

Travel + Leisure "The Sonoran Desert is a geographical wonder, dotted with mighty saguaro cacti, but if you’re here in the hotter months, you might need the lazy river (and gigantic waterslide) at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa to you cool down after a desert excursion"
