‘With the Santa Rosa Mountains as its backdrop, La Quinta Resort & Club has been a desert getaway for the Hollywood elite since opening in the 1920s. Stars such as Greta Garbo and Clark Gable used to seek refuge within the resort's whitewashed casitas, located around 127 miles from Los Angeles. Guest rooms maintain a relaxed, yet luxurious ambiance with soothing design accents, leather furniture and fireplaces (in most rooms).
Summer temperatures in the Coachella Valley can enter the triple digits, but La Quinta boasts 41 outdoor swimming pools to keep guests cool and comfortable. If it's not too hot, take advantage of this Waldorf Astoria-affiliated resort's five golf courses or the on-site tennis center, complete with 23 courts and private instruction.”
