Cradled by the Santa Rosa Mountains, The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, a Rock resort epitomizes the privileged lifestyle and natural splendor of the California desert, in keeping with Laurence Rockefeller's founding vision for Rock Resorts. Rated the top resort in the Palm Springs area by the Zagat Survey, the perennial Mobil Four Star and AAA Four Diamond Award-winner rests 650 feet above the Coachella Valley on a plateau shared by a preserve for native bighorn sheep. Guest frequently spot the magnificent animals visiting the resort's Croquet Lawn. Yet a few minutes drive leads to all the trappings of civilization, among them are the posh shops and golf courses of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and Palm Springs. Panoramic mountain or valley views front the french doors and private terraces or balconies of all 240 accommodations. Inside, the rooms and suites feature sumptuous marble baths, luxurious bathrobes, towels, and bed linens. . Ask us about our NEW Lanai Rooms and Suites in vibrant desert colors of beige and gold with expanded patios and ultra contemporary amenities . More than 30 spa treatments at the Avanyu Spa, including the much-requested outdoor cabana massage, further personalize the high-desert serenity. While parents indulge at the spa or pursue their other interests, babysitting services are available upon request through the guest service department. Some guests like to start the day with an invigorating workout in our fitness center. Golfers claim preferred tee times at nearby Mission Hills Country Club. Meanwhile, the sound of wooden mallets striking wooden balls emanates from the Croquet Lawn. This sweeping expanse of green, surrounded by flowers and lush foliage, also provides a regal setting for special events, from weddings to jazz nights under the stars. More than 14,000 additional square feet of space that hosts corporate gatherings and meetings for groups of up to 200. Taking maximum advantage of the high-desert climate, many function rooms-including the 8,400-square-foot ballroom-open directly to the outdoors. Delegates may arrange breakfast on the Croquet Lawn; cocktails poolside or in the Lobby Lounge. The lounge opens to a terrace with gas-lit fire pits and a breathtaking valley view.

They pretty much waited on me hand and foot. There were beautiful robes in the room. The rooms were decorated nicely with good color schemes. It was just a wonderful experience overall.
