The Spotlight on Indian Wells Resort

Vintage Vibes and Desert Nights

Modern concert convenience meets Old Hollywood charm at the Indian Wells Resort. Originally founded by entertainment legends Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in 1957, this resort-style hotel offers a laid-back yet stylish stay in the heart of the Coachella Valley. With mountain views, palm-lined fairways, and Mediterranean flair, it's a peaceful oasis just a short drive from big-name music venues in Indio and Palm Desert.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the action—Indian Wells Resort is just minutes from top festival grounds and performance halls, yet tucked away enough to give you a break from the crowds. After a night out, unwind on your private balcony or patio, or cool off in the outdoor pool. Night owls will appreciate the on-site bar with live entertainment from September to May, and free Wi-Fi makes it easy to post your concert highlights. While check-in starts at 4 PM, the relaxing atmosphere makes any wait time feel like part of the getaway.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to split a room with scenic views
Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage with a touch of retro glam
Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert night
Fans who want a quieter place to recover without leaving the area
Budget-conscious music lovers who still want resort-style perks

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up before or after the show with the daily continental breakfast at the Mediterranean-style Indian Wells Live restaurant. For casual bites and cocktails, Palm Terrace serves up sandwiches and drinks by the pool with a view of the 11th green. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site dining and nearby eateries off Highway 111 make it easy to grab a late-night meal.

Nightlife Options

From September through May, the hotel hosts live entertainment several nights a week—perfect for keeping the music going after the headliners finish. You’ll also find bars and lounges just a short ride away in Palm Desert or La Quinta, making it easy to bar-hop or chill depending on your mood.

What People Say

Guests love the historic charm and cozy atmosphere, often highlighting the friendly staff, golf course views, and laid-back vibe. Reviewers often mention the clean, spacious rooms and the bonus of live music on-site. It's a hit for those who want to experience the desert without the party-all-night scene.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor feels a bit dated, which is part of the hotel’s vintage appeal—but might not be for everyone. Breakfast is continental rather than full-service, and while it's enough to get you going, those looking for a big morning meal might head elsewhere.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a relaxing, retro-inspired stay near the desert’s biggest music venues, the Indian Wells Resort hits the right note.

Very horrible stay - would...

Disliked: Everything could have been better. Shower did not work, ceiling leaked on my head using the commode - had to switch rooms at 11:30 pm and the second room had cockroaches - beds in second room were too small for us as a couple so we ea had our own bed - sad when it was a celebration for us to be going there. Will never go back
