La Quinta Resort & Club, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
Hollywood heyday glam in the desert
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended

Recoup like a Tinseltown legend at La Quinta Resort & Club, A
Waldorf Astoria Resort, a desert hideaway wedged at the edge of the Santa Rosa
Mountains, just two hours from Los
Angeles. Opened in 1926 by entrepreneur Walter H. Morgan as a health
retreat for Hollywood stars in need of a respite, La Quinta quickly became the
place for glitterati to gather away from the pesky paparazzi.
Stretching across 45 immaculate acres enlivened by citrus trees
and cacti, the red-roofed mission-revival-style resort holds 796 suite-like guest
rooms — most of which are set up like private houses (or casitas) — and is
dotted with 41 sparkling pools.
Though quiet and restorative in mood, the luxurious complex
offers abundant athletic options (23 tennis courts, a state-of-the-art gym) for
the active set to enjoy. With highly touted restaurants and garden space
galore, La Quinta Resort & Club caters to all — solo travelers, couples,
families and even group getaways.
