La Quinta Resort & Club, part of the Waldorf Astoria collection, has announced a multi‑million dollar restoration to refresh the property while honoring its historic character and desert setting. The comprehensive renovation will modernize guestrooms, villas, the main lobby and public spaces, blending contemporary comforts with designs inspired by the resort’s Southwestern roots.
The first phase focuses on guestrooms, with completion targeted for fall 2014. Guest rooms will be reimagined in an earthen palette of ivory, terracotta and chocolate, and will feature custom tile work and wrought iron accents. New furnishings and carpeting will enhance comfort, while updated bathroom lighting and fixtures aim to improve both function and ambiance. Casita patios will receive upgraded patio furniture and new fire features to expand outdoor living and create cozy evening gathering spots.
Nestled at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, La Quinta has welcomed guests since 1926. The resort’s renovation plan seeks to preserve its storied heritage while introducing contemporary touches that complement the surrounding desert landscape. By combining traditional materials and artisanal details with modern finishes and amenities, the redesign aims to provide a timeless yet refreshed guest experience.
The renovation extends beyond guestrooms to encompass villas, the main lobby and key public spaces. These updates are intended to create a cohesive design language throughout the property, ensuring that interiors, outdoor areas and communal venues reflect the resort’s history and regional character. Attention to materials, textures and lighting will be used throughout the project to achieve warmth and a sense of place.
As part of the resort’s broader vision, updated outdoor features—such as enhanced casita patios with fire elements and comfortable seating—are designed to encourage guests to spend more time enjoying the mild desert climate and mountain views. Interior updates will emphasize comfort and functionality, including upgraded furniture, flooring and bathroom lighting, while preserving signature architectural details that reflect the resort’s legacy.
La Quinta Resort & Club’s restoration aims to balance respect for its origins with thoughtful modernization. The refreshed guestrooms, villas and public spaces are planned to offer increased comfort and refined design that honors the resort’s nearly century-long history. Guests can expect an inviting atmosphere that highlights handcrafted details, natural tones and the dramatic backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
