Experience the Glamour of Old Hollywood at Indian Wells Resort Hotel
At Indian Wells Resort Hotel, we're more than just a boutique hotel - we're a living, breathing part of Hollywood history. Founded by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in 1957, our boutique desert oasis has been a labor of love, paying homage to Palm Springs' golden age of stars and style. While we've undergone renovations to bring modern luxuries to our guests, we've carefully preserved the retro charm and glamour that made us a beloved retreat for A-list celebrities.
Our Rich History
