 thrive team hotel recommendations

There are many great options for your stay during Thrive SoCal, here are some of our teams favorites:

Homewood Suites by Hilton
45-200 Washington St., La Quinta

This is the closest hotel to the conference.  They offer a full breakfast, afternoon refreshment hour, and offer two room suitess. This is a great option if you are coming with your team.

Miramonte Indian Wells Resort by Hilton
45000 Indian Wells Ln., Indian Wells

The Miramonte has great options for everyone, whether you are coming by yourself or with your whole team.  They offer dining, poolside service, and outdoor activities.

Renaissance Esmerelda Resort by Marriott
44400 Indian Wells Ln., Indian Wells

If you are coming for the marriage track, this hotel makes for a great second honeymoon.  This resort has several restaurants, a large pool, spa and shopping, movie theater, and offers room service.

Hotel Paseo by Marriott
44-400 Larkspur Ln., Palm Desert

If you are looking for a true taste of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, we recommend the Hotel Paseo.  Located in the heart of Palm Desert, this hotel has the unique style that makes this area a world wide destination.  The Thrive Team recommends a handmade pop tart for breakfast from Wilma and Freidas before you leave.
