Coachella isn’t just about the music – it’s a full-blown sensory experience. From the ethereal sounds of Lana Del Rey to the electrifying energy of Tyler, the Creator and Doja Cat, the festival pulsates with a unique creative energy. This energy extends beyond the music to the art installations, the fashion, and of course, the design of your temporary desert dwelling. But where do you rest your weary head (and aching feet) after a long day of dancing under the desert sun? If you are still wondering where to stay for Coachella, we’ve curated a selection of staycation options that cater to your design desires, all within reach of the festival action.
Modern Oasis at the La Quinta Resort & Club
Step back in time – with a contemporary twist – at La Quinta Resort & Club. This iconic desert hideaway boasts a rich Hollywood history, having hosted stars like Greta Garbo and Clark Gable. Its meticulously maintained grounds are a feast for the eyes, with vibrant gardens and colourful pathways creating a whimsical escape. The hacienda-style architecture offers a timeless elegance, perfectly complemented by warmly decorated rooms that provide a welcome respite after a day of dancing to J Balvin or catching Ice Spice’s latest tracks.
Luxury Escape to the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa
For those seeking a modern haven, the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa offers a sleek design and unparalleled amenities. The resort has a variety of stylishly appointed rooms, perfect for unwinding after a day immersed in Coachella’s vibrant atmosphere. But the real showstopper is the newly opened water park – a playful paradise featuring a lazy river, splash pad, and water slides, offering the ultimate cool-down experience.
Desert Chic of Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel
Those seeking a more playful and contemporary vibe will find their happy place at the Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel. Nestled against the majestic San Jacinto Mountains, the hotel’s design blends indigenous elements with a touch of sophistication. Take a dip in the largest pool in Palm Springs, a centrepiece surrounded by blue umbrellas and private cabanas. Unwind by the fire pits under the star-studded desert sky – the perfect end to a day of discovering rising stars like Peso Pluma.
Design Bonus: Proximity to the Festival
While all three options offer unique design experiences, consider proximity to the festival when making your choice. La Quinta and Hyatt Regency offer a closer commute, allowing you to maximize your festival time and catch all your favourite performers. For those seeking a more secluded escape, the Renaissance provides a luxurious retreat further out, perfect for those who prioritize relaxation after the desert beats have faded.
No matter your design preference, Coachella offers a world beyond the music. Choose your perfect staycation and let the desert vibes infuse your Coachella experience, from the fashion to the art installations, and all the way to your temporary desert home.
