Why You'll Love It

It was director Frank Capra’s “Shangri-La of screenwriting.” Clark Gable’s party pick. Greta Garbo’s refuge from the limelight. La Quinta Resort & Club has a legendary past—but an even more impressive present.

For the active types: professional-grade courts that Tennis Magazine counts among the top in the country. And a golf spread (including PGA West courses) that would bring Tiger to his knees. Or you could always get closer to nature at The Living Desert—just make sure not to feed the mountain lions.

For the work-on-my-tan types: everything you need is at the doorstep of your roomy casita. Relax at the on-site spa with a Swedish massage or hydrafacial. Treat yourself to a little something in the renowned El Paseo Shopping District. After, post up at the main pool, cocktail in hand–there’s no rush at this desert hideaway.
