About the Venue

Click on the pictures from the hotel to visit the Westin La Paloma web site.  To register at the hotel (and to get the special pricing - $159/night.  This rate is significantly lower than the normal for this time of year) click here.

The hotel is set in a very beautiful setting on 260 acres of Sonoran Desert landscape overlooking the Catalina mountains.  It is close to restaurants and a wide array of other activities (rumor has it that Tiger stays here when playing golf in town).  The hotel also has 5 different food choices on property.
Our Meeting location is very large and at breaks it is a very short walk to beautiful outdoor terraces and of course our Plant show, Art show, Plant and book sales.
The property is beautifully landscaped with desert plants many of which will be in bloom during our stay.

The Westin La Paloma is nestled in the beautiful Catalina mountain foothills. Surrounded by Saguaro's and the rest of the amazing Sonoran desert.  Nearby are several excellent restaurants and shopping (all a short shuttle ride away).

  • Only 30 minutes from the airport - Shuttles are available at reasonable cost (click here for information on options)
  • 27 hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf course
  • Plenty of meeting space that can be used in a number of ways - We have reserved extra smaller meeting rooms to allow attendees to get together for unscheduled activities.  Simply request a room and time from the Meeting chairman.  If you would like to promote a special meeting prior to the conference we will be happy to assist with this via this web site.  Send email to kevin@rainbowgardensbookshop.com
