The Renaissance Esmerelda Resort & Spa Debuts New Look

Recognized as the host of tennis’s Fifth Grand Slam, Indian Wells houses exclusive resorts and golf courses. It’s also home to the BNP Paribas Open where every March tennis lovers flock to the Coachella Valley city to soak up the sun and watch matches while dining on dishes from Nobu and Spago.

Whether visiting in Spring for the largest tennis tournament outside of the Four Grand Slams or heading out of town for a weekend getaway, tourists can rest, relax and rejuvenate at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa.

The resort recently underwent a multimillion-dollar redesign including new guestrooms and suites, a new multi-story lobby, an olive tree grove and new food and beverage areas and menus.

The 560 guest rooms including 103 suites have been reconfigured offering guests more spacious accommodations. The luxurious Ambassador Suite includes dedicated areas for sleeping, lounging, working and relaxing. A huge living room with neutral tones, teal sofa and chair accents and a hardwood floor open to the large carpeted bedroom with a spacious closet, comfy bed, flat screen televisions and patios with beautiful mountain vistas.

The lobby is equally impressive with an entry grand stairway and fountain under dozens of pretty pendant lights. The main lobby floor pairs communal dining spots with lounge and work spaces. The new The Place lobby bar offers a variety of special desert inspired cocktails.

Food options include the tapas inspired Cava where diners can view the sprawling swimming pool and sandy beach to fresh sushi and sashimi specialties at the intimate Glo Sushi bar. Families will enjoy SPC Sirocco Pizza Company offering wood fired pizzas and cheese and charcuterie boards.

Kids will enjoy s’mores by the outdoor fire pits and Camp Oasis programs while adults can relax at the upscale Spa Esmerelda. Sunrises and sunsets can be spent walking around the 23 acres of Mediterranean inspired grounds featuring waterfalls, lakes, gardens and newly planted olive trees. For those who want to stay active there are free fitness classes at the 24-hour gym, access to two 18-hole golf course and lighted tennis courts.

Whether visiting for top-level tennis tournaments, endless sunshine, family friendly activities, mid-century modern architecture or a romantic getaway, Indian Wells is a perfect escape.
