La Quinta Resort and Club
- La Quinta Resort and Club
The La Quinta Resort and Club is an historic resort which opened in 1926 in present-day La Quinta, California.
Originally built as a series of adobe bungalows on 45 acres (182,000 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 and Club now boasts 42 swimming pools, 52 whirlpool spas, full spa and meeting facilities, 23 tennis courts and 90 holes of golf both on-property and at the nearby PGA West course, one of the host courses of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic charity golf tournament designed by Pete & Alice Dye. La Quinta was expanded to its current size by Landmark Land Company in 1989.
A "hangout" for Hollywood celebrities since its inception, the La Quinta's greatest claim to fame is as the site which film director and frequent guest Frank Capra wrote the screenplay for "Lost Horizon" poolside in 1937.
Both La Quinta Resort and Spa and PGA West continue to be owned by CNL Hotels and Resorts, a private lodging REIT based in Orlando, Florida. The resort has no affiliation with the national, mid-scale hotel chain La Quinta Inns, although they share the name. The properties were acquired as part of CNL's corporate acquisition of KSL Recreation, Inc. Hilton Hotels Corporation, based in Beverly Hills, California, manages the hotel as a member of the Waldorf-Astoria Collection.
