The Chateau at Lake La Quinta
With a beautiful lakefront at your feet, a stay at The Chateau at Lake La Quinta truly lets guests slip into a state of relaxation. This French chateau along Lake La Quinta offers all the charm of a boutique hotel experience, plus a secluded location that makes this an oasis to call your very own. Every suite features its own unique décor, blending classic designer furnishings with vibrant pops of color and hints of mid-century modern style. Settle into the outdoor lounge to soak up the sunshine and lakeside views with a fine glass of wine, and don’t miss the contemporary French cuisine at the onsite restaurant, Mélange.
Embassy Suites La Quinta Hotel & Spa
The two-room suites here at this familiar hotel brand put you just a stone’s throw from the shopping and dining of charming Old Town La Quinta. Not only are you close to Old Town, but you’ll be just a short drive from the many hiking trails of the La Quinta Cove and the golf courses of both SilverRock Resort and PGA West. Of course, with an onsite spa and cocktails during the evening receptions, you might find it hard to leave at all.
Boutique Shopping at Old Town La Quinta
Locally owned boutiques are a treasure trove for shoppers, and you’ll find an incredible collection along the streets of Old Town La Quinta.

Don’t forget to accessorize with a dazzling new necklace or the perfect piece of vintage jewelry from one of Old Town’s jewelry shops. Speaking of vintage, don’t forget to pop across the street into Vintage Flavor or Angel View for great vintage finds.
Local Goods at the Certified Farmer’s Market
Old Town La Quinta offers extra allure on Sundays, when the main street blooms with fresh produce and local goods during the Certified Farmers Market. Held between October and May, the Certified Farmers Market offers a lot more than fresh fruits and veggies – though who can resist freshly picked berries, citrus and dates? Beyond the produce, you’ll discover locally sourced and produced cheeses, meats, honey, salsa and more. Don’t forget to pick up great finds like artisan olive oils and soaps, too.
