In September, La Quinta Resort & Club unveiled its greatly-anticipated lobby renovation to the delight of guests, staff and curious onlookers. On bold display is a fresh, bright, and airy open-concept design that embraces the history of the iconic resort while providing all the modern amenities and accoutrements one would expect of a Waldorf Astoria property. Guests now enjoy easy access and an organic flow to the registration area for that perfect welcome. Historic touches remain throughout with original Saltillo tile floors, and the vintage photos and relics that adorn the lobby’s History Hallway walls and the adjacent anteroom – the Santa Rosa — where guests can relax, chat, mingle and enjoy cocktails in cool comfort in the summer and in front of a roaring fireplace in the winter. And in a clear nod to the aesthetic of “past meets present,” the dedicated Concierge Services area boasts the resort’s Discovery Center, an assemblage of massive high-definition monitors and touch-screen displays that invite guests to browse amenities, activities, and explore information of interest in the Greater Palm Springs area.
