Residence Inn by Marriott Palm Desert

Suite Life Near the Stage in Palm Desert

Modern, spacious, and surrounded by mountain views, the Residence Inn by Marriott Palm Desert offers a laid-back, resort-style stay just a short drive from some of the Coachella Valley’s biggest music events. Whether you're here for a weekend of live shows or a chill post-concert recovery, this all-suite hotel with full kitchens and an outdoor pool provides the perfect base.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel places you within easy reach of popular venues without the chaos of the crowd. It’s about a 15-minute drive to the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens and just five miles from Agua Caliente Casino—both of which host events year-round. The quiet location and suite-style rooms make it a great spot to unwind after a loud night. With check-in starting at 4 PM and check-out at 11 AM, you get a little time to sleep in after a late show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want space to hang out and cook together
• Solo travelers catching a dream concert
• Couples making a weekend of it with a mountain-view suite
• Fans who want peace and quiet after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a rich breakfast buffet—perfect if you're recovering from a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite has a fully equipped kitchen and the hotel offers a grocery shopping service to keep your fridge stocked. There’s also a barbecue area for outdoor dining. Late-night dining options are a short drive away in central Palm Desert.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s a quick ride to nearby casinos, bars, and venues where the desert nightlife comes alive. After-hours, relax by the outdoor pool or enjoy drinks in your suite with mountain views.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the clean, spacious suites, friendly staff, and the relaxing atmosphere. Guests love the mountain views, quiet surroundings, and the convenience of having a kitchen for late-night snacks or pre-show meals. Many say it’s a great value for the location and amenities.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel feels a bit dated in places, and the Wi-Fi could be stronger. You’ll need a car to get to most nightlife and concert venues—but that’s pretty standard for Palm Desert.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for space, comfort, and a quiet retreat after the show, Residence Inn by Marriott Palm Desert hits all the right notes for concert-goers.
