Let’s get a closer peek.

“It is a thrill to celebrate a new U.S. opening, and to bring The Ritz-Carlton brand to the amazing Coachella Valley,” said Chris Gabaldon of The Ritz-Carlton. Designed in homage to the Southern California desert region’s open-air lifestyle, the resort boasts serene hilltop location and unparalleled panoramic views. Its 244 contemporary guest rooms featuring large patios and terraces, some with their own fire pits and views of the dramatic San Jacinto Mountains make it the best place in the vicinity, whether you’re down for The Palm Springs International Film Festival and Modernism Week, the Humana Challenge Golf Tournament, the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, the BNP Paribas Open, or the Stagecoach Country Music Festival. “We look forward to creating fabulous Ritz-Carlton memories at this fascinating, modern, dynamic destination,” Gabaldon continued.”

But even when the neighborhood isn’t teeming with global events, the resort’s 25,000-square-foot Ritz-Carlton Spa, Rancho Mirage gives one ample reason to swing by, with 15 opulent treatment rooms.
