99 Years of Timeless Charm: Celebrate La Quinta Resort
Nestled at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains, La Quinta Resort & Club marks 99 years as a cherished desert retreat. Since its opening in 1926, the resort has offered a unique blend of relaxation, adventure, and timeless charm, making it a favorite destination for generations of visitors.
A Vision Turned Iconic
Founded by Walter H. Morgan, La Quinta Resort began as a tranquil escape for those seeking serenity in the beauty of the Colorado Desert. Over time, it became a favored hideaway for Hollywood’s elite, with guests like Greta Garbo and Frank Capra, who found inspiration here while crafting his iconic films.
Architectural Heritage
The resort’s signature Spanish Colonial Revival style, with white adobe walls, red-tiled roofs, and lush gardens, has been thoughtfully preserved and enhanced over the years. Today, guests can choose from casitas, suites, and private villas, each designed to reflect the resort’s rich history while offering modern comfort.
Adventures & Relaxation
For nearly a century, La Quinta Resort has been a gateway to unforgettable desert experiences. From world-class golf at PGA WEST, featuring five championship courses, to rejuvenating treatments at Spa La Quinta, the resort offers something for everyone. Adventurous guests can explore nearby hiking trails or take part in tennis and pickleball matches on the resort’s well-maintained courts.
Culinary Experiences
Dining at La Quinta Resort is as memorable as the scenery. With a variety of options, every meal celebrates fresh, local ingredients and bold flavors. Enjoy the iconic Morgan’s in the Desert, named after the resort’s founder, for contemporary American cuisine. Experience the vibrant Adobe Grill, where authentic regional Mexican dishes transport you to the heart of Mexico. For a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, visit Twenty6, a modern California bistro that reimagines classic comfort food with a fresh twist. Each dining venue offers its own unique flavor, making every meal an unforgettable part of your stay.
