Resort-Wide Renovation Honors the Hotel’s Timeless Heritage With Modern Enhancements.

La Quinta Resort & Club, a desert icon and famed Hollywood retreat, is thrilled to announce the completion of its transformative resort-wide renovation. As the resort nears its centennial year, this renovation celebrates its storied past while ushering in a new era of luxury for future generations.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the rugged Santa Rosa Mountains, the legendary La Quinta Resort & Club is the longest-running resort in the Palm Springs area and one of only two resorts in the country for which a city has been named. Spanning 45 vibrant acres, its grounds are accentuated by beds of colorful flowers; fragrant orange, lemon, tangerine, tangelo, and grapefruit trees; cypress trees and cacti; 42 sparkling pools and picturesque courtyards, all framed by towering palms.

The extensive renovation led by renowned architecture firm, Leo A Daly, honors the hotel’s Spanish Colonial Revival architecture while introducing modern enhancements that elevate the guest experience. Key highlights include:

Renewed Lobby – The revitalized lobby sets the stage for a warm and elegant welcome. Hand-painted tiles, travertine-bordered fireplaces, and lush greenery complement carefully curated vintage photographs that honor the resort’s storied past. At its heart, a striking hand-carved desk, inspired by the resort’s iconic wooden doors in The Plaza, seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with inviting sophistication.

Brightened Guestrooms – Thoughtfully refreshed with contemporary furnishings and modernized bathrooms, each guestroom embodies an elevated sense of comfort and style. Updated tiling, sleek vanities, and recessed lighting enhance the space, effortlessly merging the resort’s signature charm with refined luxury.

Outdoor Enhancements – The Grove, an enchanting outdoor venue framed by towering palms and the breathtaking Santa Rosa Mountains, provides an idyllic setting for unforgettable events and weddings. With on-site restrooms and a dedicated banquet service area, this picturesque location is designed to host everything from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, offering a naturally stunning backdrop as timeless as the resort itself.

PLUNGE at Renker Pool – The reimagined PLUNGE at the Renker Pool beckons as a 21+ adults-only retreat, designed for pure relaxation. Featuring vibrant tile work, a sleek bar with seating, a convenient grab-and-go café, two adjacent pools with infinity-style overflow edges, a hot spa, and climate-controlled cabanas, this serene oasis invites guests to unwind in effortless style.

In Spring 2025, the resort will also unveil a renovation of its signature steakhouse, Morgan’s in the desert. An intentional re-envisioning of the interior layout and the bar will honor the beloved Coachella Valley restaurant’s commitment to creating an extraordinary dining experience for guests and locals alike. Featuring regionally inspired cuisine crafted with ingredients from local purveyors, the redesign pays homage to the resort’s founder, Walter H. Morgan, and also the plentiful bounty it calls home.

A time-honored tradition for travelers near and far, this beloved desert escape remains the singular destination for relaxation, luxury, glamour, and iconic California charm.
