Quick Direct Routes: Phoenix Airport (PHX) to The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa
Whether you’re landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and heading straight to the award‑winning Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, the journey is surprisingly short. The straight‑line distance between the airport and the resort is about 35 km (≈ 22 mi), while the road distance clocks in at roughly 28 km (≈ 17 mi) (Source: fromto.travel). In normal traffic, the drive takes around 27–28 minutes, making it one of the most convenient airport‑to‑resort routes in the Valley of the Sun.
Travelers who prefer not to drive have several viable alternatives. A taxi can get you there in about the same time, with an estimated fare of $50–$59.78 (Source: fromto.travel). If you’re looking to keep costs low, the cheapest way is to drive yourself; fuel costs hover around $3.15–$4.67 for the trip (Source: fromto.travel). Those who rely on rideshare apps can request a ride any time, 24/7, and even schedule it up to 90 days in advance using Uber Reserve (Source: Uber.com).
Driving Directions: I‑10 West to AZ‑101 North
If you’re renting a car or using a personal vehicle, the most common route follows the Interstate‑10 (I‑10) westbound corridor and then the Loop 101 (AZ‑101) northbound. Here’s a step‑by‑step guide:
- Exit PHX: After collecting your luggage, follow signs for “Rental Car Return” and then “I‑10 West – Tucson.” You’ll merge onto I‑10 West within minutes of exiting the terminal.
- Transition to AZ‑101: Stay on I‑10 West for approximately 12 km (7 mi) until you reach Exit 147, which feeds directly onto northbound AZ‑101 (the Pima/Loop 101).
- Travel North on AZ‑101: Continue on AZ‑101 North for about 15 km (9 mi). You’ll pass the Desert Ridge Marketplace on your right (a handy landmark for shopping or a quick bite).
- Take Princess Drive Exit: Use Exit 34 (Princess Drive) and head east. The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa is located at 7575 E Princess Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85255, on the left side just past the Kierland Commons shopping district.
Key landmarks along the drive include the McCormick‑Stillman Railroad Park (visible from the highway) and the towering Desert Ridge development. Traffic tends to be lightest early morning or late evening; during rush hour (7–9 am and 4–6 pm) expect a modest 5–10‑minute delay.
Rideshare & Taxi Services: Uber, Lyft, and Local Taxis
Rideshare apps have transformed the airport‑to‑hotel transfer experience. At PHX, Uber and Lyft pickups are available on the Ground Transportation Level of each terminal. You can request a ride on demand, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For those who like to plan ahead, Uber Reserve lets you lock in a vehicle anywhere from 2 hours up to 90 days before your flight (Source: Uber.com).
The average travel time for an Uber or Lyft from PHX to the Westin Kierland is roughly 28 minutes, though this can fluctuate with traffic (Source: Uber.com). Fares are dynamic, meaning the price you see in the app at the moment of booking is the one you’ll pay; the app will provide an exact estimate before you confirm.
If you prefer a traditional taxi, several metered cab companies operate at the airport. A taxi will also take about 27 minutes in normal conditions, with an estimated fare of $50–$59.78 (Source: fromto.travel). All taxis are required to display their meter rates, and tip is customary (generally 15–20 %).
Pro tip: During major events at the Westin Kierland (think golf tournaments or conferences), demand for rides can surge, so consider booking a ride 30–45 minutes ahead to secure a driver.
Public Transportation: Valley Metro Bus Line 72 and Connecting Services
For budget‑conscious travelers, the Valley Metro bus system offers a viable, if slower, option. The Line 72 runs directly between Sky Harbor and the Scottsdale area, with a stop near the Westin Kierland (the nearest bus stop is at the intersection of Greenway Road & 75th Street, a short walk from the resort).

- Cost: One‑way fare is $3.91–$5.43 (Source: fromto.travel).
- Frequency: Buses operate every 30 minutes on weekdays and every 60 minutes on weekends.
Because the bus route includes multiple stops, it’s a good choice if you’re not in a hurry and want to experience the local scenery. If you’re arriving late at night, note that the last Line 72 departure from the airport is around 11:30 pm; plan accordingly.
For a seamless connection to other parts of the Valley, you can transfer at the 44th Street & Washington light‑rail station to the Valley Metro Rail, which runs north‑south through Phoenix and Tempe.
Shuttle Services and Private Transfers: ShuttleFare.com & Other Providers

Our Pickup LocationsYour Casa Grande shuttle picks up where it says Prearranged. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged. The signs are easy to see and they are always at the outer curb. Sometimes security will send people to the wrong place, so it's better to follow the directions below. PHX also won't allow drivers to walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle or wait, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off of airplane mode, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver. Terminal 3 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 6 and to the right, south side of the building. Terminal 4 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 3, north side of the building, first floor. The sign says "Prearranged Vehicles 3 NORTH".
