La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton, Palm Springs

Cradled by the rugged Santa Rosa Mountains, La Quinta Resort & Club has defined California desert luxury since 1926. 

With 796 casitas, suites, and villas, this historic resort unfolds across palm-lined pathways, citrus groves, and 45 acres of gardens scented with jasmine and orange blossom. 

Adobe walls glow in the desert sun, fountains murmur in hidden courtyards, and evenings bring starlit quiet under a vast, indigo sky—a true California classic reborn.
