The La Quinta Resort And Club Is Still A Celebrity Hideaway

Touted as the "original hideaway," the La Quinta Resort & Club has been a celebrity retreat since the 1920s. It was then that some of the earliest "stars" of the Hollywood galaxy began heading away from the bustling city and into the gorgeous Southern California hills.

La Quinta California was "discovered" by a businessman named Walter H. Morgan who located the property upon which the La Quinta Resort & Club was built (all 1,400 acres of it!) and set to work designing a structure that worked with the gorgeous landscape. He named his estate La Quinta after the nickname given to the region in the 1700s, and was soon inviting the likes of Greta Garbo, Frank Capra and Clark Gable to stay at his property.

Soon, there were too many Hollywood "escapees" for the one property and they began to convert La Quinta California into their own private paradise, or playground according to many. They began having world-class golf courses developed in the area, installing tennis courts and swimming pools, and establishing the same fine dining and cultural institutions that sprang up around them back in Los Angeles.

The History Continues

The old saying that "the more things change, the more they stay the same," really does apply to La Quinta Resort & Club. Because the property was originally chosen by the Hollywood elite for its fine amenities and convenient location, there are still many who head to the site specifically because it is so handy. Naturally, none would come if they didn't also get the top-notch services and amenities required by modern movie stars, but many also come because the site offers so many different things to do and see, and all in privacy and total security.

In addition to the upscale suites and accommodations (ranging from rooms to entire private residences) that the rich and famous can use, there is a huge array of dining, golfing, shopping, and fitness facilities. Just consider that there are 41 pools and 53 hot spas at La Quinta Resort alone. That means that today's biggest names are not going to be stuck splashing around with strangers, but can do so if they feel like it!

World-Class Pampering

Of course, most celebrities seem to be fond of their pampering and special treatment, and the award-winning Spa at La Quinta is likely to be a major attraction for them too. It has been selected as one of the "World's 10 Most Exotic Wellness Retreats" by CNN Travel and received three category awards from "Spafinders Readers Choice Awards" as well.

Those visiting the spa can enjoy everything from hydra-facials to guided personal styling, and there are even spa services for celebrity pets as well!

Dining is also part of the pampering at the La Quinta Resort & Club and guests can enjoy seven different gourmet dining establishments on the property as well.

The "Up Side"

So, you can see why celebrities still pour into this resort, but you have to also note that all of the fine services and options listed here are not limited to those with Oscars at home. They are for every single visitor to the area, and this is why it is a property that attracts a much larger audience than today's biggest celebrities.
