About the Hotel

Just outside Palm Springs, atop a 650-foot high plateau overlooking the Coachella Valley, The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage truly rises above the area's other luxury lodgings. With the stunning Santa Rosa Mountains serving as its backdrop, this RockResorts flagship property sets a magisterial tone of quietude. Bedrooms and suites are elegantly appointed with fine art, antiques, Frette linens and French doors that lead to private patios or balconies. You'll be doubly indulged at Mirada, the area's only cliffside restaurant, and at the Avanyu Spa, uniting the tranquility of the high desert with customized rejuvenation.

Reviews for The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

Another excellent Ritz Carlton experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We spent 4 nights at the Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage. We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are spectacular. Service in every aspect is top notch and just what you would expect from Ritz Carlton. Our room was very comfortable and immaculately clean. Linens and bedding were luxurious and very comfortable. We had club lounge access and found the service at all times to be attentive and food/snack offerings across all day parts plentiful and excellent. The fitness center was modern, very clean, and well equipped. We would definitely recommend Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage and we look forward to a return visit.

Four day family Palm Springs Hotel in August

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

An excellent hotel in a lovely location and we hope to go back in the future. Food for all meals was extremely good. There are some local rambling walks which we enjoyed prior to breakfast each day before the temperatures became excessive. Disappointed I was only offered Valet parking which came a high cost, I couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed to park the car myself like we do in the UK. Note: the gym was a pathetic attempt at one as it was in a temporary location due to refurbishment works, not sure when the new gym will be in action. Swimming pool was open until 10pm and we went in with the kids late in the afternoon / early evening each day and it was lovely. Note: This hotel whilst excellent it does charge these American Mandatory "Junk" Fees on checkout which needs to be banned. In our experience the better quality hotels like the four seasons don't charge these fees. However, as we had two interconnecting rooms they only charged one set of Mandatory "Junk" Fees instead of two sets of fees and this was appreciated.

Perfect, again

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

The beauty of visiting in the summer is less crowded, and the staff are excellent in that they have time to take extra care of the guests. Joni checked us in and overheard our birthday plans. She made such a huge effort to recognize this, it was above and beyond. It’s a very relaxed and calm experience in the off season. The spa is excellent, Jackie gets an extra mention, she is gifted as a therapist. We’ve stayed also during the holidays, more guests but the beautiful decor was worth it, very festive

Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage: Beautiful Stay Marred by Pool Issues and Restaurant Policy

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Kudos to Ruben, He Made Our Ritz Experience Truly Unforgettable! But Some Things Need Immediate Attention. The Ritz has always been one of my favorite places to stay, whether it’s in California, Istanbul, Spain, or anywhere else, the name comes with an expectation of luxury and world-class service. But this stay at Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage went above and beyond, all thanks to Ruben at reception. We were celebrating an anniversary, and Ruben made it incredibly special from the start. He welcomed us with wine and chocolate-covered strawberries Here’s your full, polished review, ready to share, it balances warm praise with clear, respectful critique: Kudos to Ruben, He Made Our Ritz Experience Truly Unforgettable! The Ritz has always been one of my favorite places to stay, whether it’s in California, Istanbul, Spain, or anywhere else. The name carries the promise of luxury and world-class service. But this stay at Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage went above and beyond, all thanks to Ruben at reception. We were celebrating our anniversary, and Ruben truly elevated the experience. He greeted us warmly with a bottle of wine, chocolate-covered strawberries, and even a complimentary room upgrade! His hospitality set the tone for a beautiful, relaxing getaway. Our room was gorgeous, with a breathtaking panoramic view of the desert and Coachella Valley. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved every detail. The drinks by the pool were excellent, refreshing, perfectly mixed, and served by friendly staff who made sure we were well taken care of. The food throughout our stay was top quality, and breakfast was a highlight: delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Ritz also has a lovely boutique store with premium products. I didn’t plan on shopping but couldn’t resist and ended up with some amazing finds. BUT NOW TO THE BIG NEGATIVE: THE ADULT POOL AREA AT NIGHT WAS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. We were hoping to enjoy a calm and classy evening by the pool, but instead, we were surrounded by a group of intoxicated guests whose behavior was completely inappropriate for a luxury property like the Ritz. One man aggressively shoved a woman into the pool, and she screamed loudly in a way that made everyone uncomfortable. It was disturbing, not playful, absolutely not the vibe of a 5-star resort. Even worse, in the morning we noticed multiple cigarette butts left behind near the pool. It was disgusting, and no one had cleaned it up. The smell was strange and unpleasant, and for a place that emphasizes elegance, this kind of mess is unacceptable. Let’s be clear: just because it’s an “adult pool” doesn’t mean it stops being a public space. There should be strong supervision, especially at night. Drunk behavior, physical roughness, loud yelling, public intimacy, and smoking by the pool, none of this fits the Ritz standard. It ruins the ambiance and turns what should be a peaceful retreat into a noisy and uncomfortable space. There needs to be better control, stricter policies, and staff presence at the pool in the evenings. It’s a shame because everything else, the room, the food, the view, and especially Ruben’s service, was flawless. But this pool experience really disrupted our stay. If that issue gets fixed, this property would be perfection. I still give high praise to Ruben and the day staff, but please, management: tighten your oversight on the pool area. It matters. Another disappointing aspect of our stay was the experience with the on-site steakhouse. We had planned a special dinner there but were told it was fully booked, with no exceptions, not even for hotel guests. Honestly, that was a turn-off. It felt unprofessional and poorly managed, especially for a luxury resort. If your restaurant is small and

Underwhelmed Customer Service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

As a loyal Ritz Carlton guests, we were underwhelmed by the front desk staff @ Ritz Carlton Mirage Palm Spring, paticularly Ruben who showed arrogance & overlooked our Marriott's Loyalty. During our 3rd day, while we are in the lobby we saw Joe greet guests but not us. Thankfully Irene provided us assistance on our 2nd day. Our room was clean & it's amenities are refilled as expected. We are perplexed as why Platinum Club member must pay $200 for a club access. The State Fare's excellent cuisine & Jasmin's friendly service were the trip's highlight. The hotel location is picturesque offering beautiful evening view from the mountain top. It is also close to popular attractions & airport. Unfortunately we will not be returning
