Who's Who at SWCP Meet Kim Gartner...
Kim grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Advertising. She
moved to Arizona in 1992 after too many long Chicago winters (she misses her Cubs and the pizza...not the snow!). Kim has been with the SWCP family for 10 years, aside from a two year adventure to San Diego. She is an active board member of the Arizona Chapter of SITE. Kim enjoys spending time with family, travel, cooking/wine, hiking Pinnacle Peak and running (four marathons under her belt, and the recent 4.2 mile Pat's Run in memoriam of Arizona's own American Hero and ASU Alumnus, Pat Tillman-#42). She is the proud "mother" of two dogs, 4 year old Tucker (German Shepherd) and 2 year old Lila (black lab Mix).
Kim is an Account Executive handling sales for accounts based in the Midwest and Eastern Canada. You can contact her at 480-609-5302 or kgartner@swcp.net

Arizona Grand Resort unveils new lobby
$52 million rennovation complete
Designed as the heartbeat of the Resort, a new 25,000-square-foot lobby features the Resort's newest dining venues, The Lobby Grill and The Lobby Bar. The Resort also introduces the Marketplace, a focal point in the new lobby which is home to the Marketplace Café, the Golf Pro Shop and the Resort Shops.
As the center of Resort activity, the lobby incorporates a residential feel into the design. In addition to restaurants and shops, the space offers guests an intimate lounge area, a convenient concierge desk, and beautiful patio complete with couches and fire-pits overlooking the golf course's first tee.
The Arizona Grand Resort's renovation process began in 2007 with exterior and landscaping improvements, a new property lighting concept as well as guest suite enhancements. In 2008, renovations on all 640 guest suites were completed, enhancements to multiple restaurant options were added, and additions to the spa and athletic club and a golf course redesign were finalized. Earlier this year, this well-known meeting resort opened the new Arizona Grand Villas, adding 100 luxury residential-style accommodations to the Resort's room inventory. |
