La Quinta Resort & Club

Originally built as a series of adobe bungalows on 45 acres (180,000 m2) of fruit trees at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains in an area originally named "Marshall's Cove" and now referred to simply as "La Quinta Cove," the La Quinta Resort & Club now has 796 casitas, suites, and villas, 41 swimming pools, 53 whirlpool spas, 23,000-square-foot (2,100 m2) Spa La Quinta, over 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) of meeting facilities, 23 tennis courts, 11 retail outlets, 7 restaurants, and 90 holes of golf, both on-property and at nearby PGA WEST, designed by Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman.

The courses regularly play host to the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic charity golf tournament.

A hangout for star celebrities since its inception, La Quinta Resort's greatest claim to fame is as the site at which film director and frequent guest Frank Capra wrote the screenplay for Lost Horizon, poolside in 1937.

in 2013, the owners reached a deal to sell the La Quinta and three other properties to the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation.

In July 2020, ABC reality dating show The Bachelorette began filming its sixteenth season in La Quinta, as all hotels were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in California.
