Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
**COVID-19 Update: In response to COVID-19, this hotel has temporarily suspended operations. Sales team members remain available to support meeting inquires and respond to RFPs for future business. We appreciate your patience during this time and look forward to welcoming your business to the hotel in the future.**
Fresh from a multimillion-dollar milestone renovation, La Quinta Resort & Club, A Waldorf Astoria Resort offers a comprehensive meeting experience in greater Palm Springs, California. Along with 200,000 square feet of newly enhanced indoor and outdoor event space, the resort features 776 California hacienda-style casitas, suites, and villas clustered around 41 pools and 53 hot spas. Recently renovated, the casitas and suites enjoy refreshed environments for tranquil rest or focused work. Outside, the resort’s 45 acres of colorful gardens and pathways create relaxed settings for alfresco networking and group gatherings. Indoors, the resort hosts up to 2,000 guests for meetings and events within beautiful, centralized meeting spaces.
In addition to 41 swimming pools, 23 tennis courts, seven restaurants, shopping, and Spa La Quinta, the resort is home to five championship golf courses that specialize in serving groups of varying sizes. The resort’s PGA West Golf Academy offers further recreational options for meetings and events.
Since its opening in 1926 as paradise-found for the Hollywood elite, La Quinta Resort has become a prized location for planners seeking a premier destination in the desert sun. Resort guests follow in the footsteps of Frank Capra, Marilyn Monroe, the Rat Pack, and others—all inspired and rejuvenated by life in Palm Springs.
Numerous accolades underscore the resort’s tremendous allure. They include being named North America’s Best Golf Resort by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators; the Meetings & Conventions Gold Tee Award; and a Best Desert Resort ranking by Southern California Meetings + Events.

Brigitta E. Yardi Systems Corporate Planner
This resort is AWESOME because of the citrus landscaping and many other factors. The team loved being there during Christmas. It provided an experience 2nd to none.
Overall Rating: 4.9/5
Romy R. R.W. Lyall and Co. Other
A gorgeous historical property. Desperately needs to update their meeting space. We use the Eisenhower Suite for Board meetings but beyond that is geared toward leisure market.
Overall Rating: 4.1/5
Karin T. ViaSat, Inc. Corporate Planner
This is a beautiful, historic resort in Palm Springs. I like how they set it up with those little villas. It's almost like renting a condo instead of staying at a typical hotel room in a large building. If you want to bring your group to Palm Springs and they're the type who prefer a secluded/private setting, this is the place to go.
Overall Rating: 4.3/5
Tala B. Laserfiche Corporate Planner
One of the great old places. I liked the lay-out, little neighborhoods of smaller buildings and each cluster has their own pool. The new condo development on the outskirts of the property is luxurious and definitely the preferred accommodations. Rooms in the original part of the hotel were big but under-furnished. On-site restos very good with excellent innovative cuisine. Beautiful tennis garden - all services. Golf courses everywhere. It\'s a very large resort with lots of rooms spread out over a big area. You just have to make sure that is the right physical lay-out for your group. Palm Springs and Coachella Valley are bustling areas with lots to do.
Overall Rating: 3.7/5
Nancy R. Time Equities, Inc Corporate Planner
Excellent property, much to do and see at this historical location. Golfer's paradise and spouse-friendly.
Overall Rating: 4.8/5

La Quinta is a beautiful property. There is however an issue with the a/c in the large ballrooms. It seems they never really cooled down. The food in the restaurants is great. The banquet food is so so.
Overall Rating: 3.8/5
Corporate Planner
I went there on a FAM, the hotel has great rates in the off season. It is about 15-20min from Palm Springs airport. The meeting space is close to the foyer and main entrance into the hotel. The rooms are spread out amongst the hotel. There is a large outdoor space that is great for evening events under the stars.
Overall Rating: 4.9/5
Daniele S. REDC and LandAuction.com Corporate Planner
Our partners still talk about "the year we went to La Quinta" as being one of the *best* meetings we've ever had. In my 15 years with the firm, I often refer to that meeting as my most successful event. Awesome property!
Overall Rating: 4.6/5

It is not always easy accommodating the requests of 150 advertising executives from 75 countries, but La Quinta Resort & Club met the task.
