Please note: If you are contacting the hotel reservation agents to reserve your sleeping room, note that as a general procedure, Marriott reservation agents are instructed to let everyone know about the resort fee -- this is a Marriott policy. Reservation agents are not privy to the negotiated arrangement that ASHS has in place with the hotel, therefore, they are unaware that the resort fee is optional for our group. You will have the option to opt out of the resort fee once you arrive at our front desk. It is noted in the reservation system for our attendees.

The Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort & Spa is located in Palm Desert, California, in the heart of the Coachella Valley, which is also home to nearby Palm Springs and other resort communities. Three majestic mountain ranges provide a dramatic backdrop to the spectacular property. Palm Desert is a two-hour drive from both Los Angeles and San Diego. Joshua Tree National Park is located nearby.
 The Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort & Spa is a sprawling oasis - a remarkable contrast to the stark beauty of the desert.
The 450-acre property opened in February 1987 and is one of the largest resort and convention complexes in the southwestern United States.
The resort is famous for its Venetian-like waterways, which literally begin in the lobby.
Gondolas await to transport guests to dinner and on afternoon tours, slowly drifting past cascading waterfalls. This lush resort oasis can boast of 210,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting, exhibit, and banquet space—and will provide a comfortable backdrop for the 2010 ASHS Annual Conference
The spacious guest rooms include: a patio or balcony overlooking the resort; luxurious beds; great lighting; high speed internet access.
ASHS Conference attendees can enjoy a variety of fine dining options on the resort property, including:
 Tuscany Palm Desert Italian Restaurant—Offering an incredible array of antipastas, soups, salads and side dishes.
Mikado Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar—East meets west at the ultimate sushi bar, where you can relax and enjoy the freshest foods and Japanese garden views.
Lake View Restaurant—Classic American dishes featuring hearty choices from house-made soups, salads, sandwiches and steaks.
The Sushi Bar—The Sushi Bar is located on the lobby level, discreetly tucked in the atrium lobby near the Lobby Bar.
Oasis Bar and Grille—Enjoy a healthy “wrap” or traditional burger poolside at the Oasis Bar & Grille.
With so many activities at the resort you may want to spend a day or two extra after the Conference to enjoy some of these features:
