The Wigwam Included in '1000 Places to See Before You Die'

After researching the USA and Canada high and low, travel writer Patricia Shultz’s new book – 1000 Places to See In the USA & Canada Before You Die – has just been published, and The Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa has been named one of the must-visit recommendations!

The Wigwam joins experiences such as Windjammer Cruises in Maine, gold-mining trails in Alaska, barbecue tours of Kansas City, the ice hotel in Quebec, and dozens of other unexpected suggestions and essential destinations.

The honor comes on the heels of USA Today and Travel + Leisure Golf recognizing The Wigwam as one of ’10 Great Places to Link Up with Your Family.’ The June 8 issue of USA Today touted the resort as one of the top golf destinations in North America for families.

In 2004, Patricia Schultz wrote 1000 Places to See Before You Die. An instant phenomenon, it is one of the best selling travel books ever published with 2.4 million copies in print. The book has spent more than 160 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, is the basis of the television show of the same name currently airing on The Travel Channel, and also attracts a community of online travelers at www.1000beforeyoudie.com.

Originally built in 1918 as a retreat for visiting executives from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, The Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa opened to the public in 1929 and retains its historic charm. Guests today will experience the Rebirth of a Legend with more than $20 million in additions and renovations throughout the resort in the last three years. The Wigwam is owned by Kabuto Arizona Properties, Inc., and is operated by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide as part of The Luxury Collection. The casita-style resort features 331 elegantly appointed guestrooms, 54 holes of championship golf, the luxurious Red Door Spa, Authentic Arizona™ cuisine and award-winning service. The Wigwam is located 25 minutes west of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix’s burgeoning West Valley.
