The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage Unveils a Reimagined Hillside Oasis

The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage unveiled its reimagined hillside oasis in April 2025 after a two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation that set a new standard of contemporary luxury across the property. To mark the occasion, the resort partnered with the champagne house Veuve Clicquot on a limited-time poolside experience.

Perched on a plateau in the Santa Rosa Mountains above the Coachella Valley, the resort commands sweeping views over Palm Springs and the desert floor. Its multiple pools, spa, and dining venues are designed around that dramatic elevated setting, a rarity among the valley's largely flat resorts.

The greater Palm Springs area remains one of Southern California's most beloved desert escapes, and the Ritz-Carlton's clifftop position sets it apart. The renovation modernizes the resort while playing to its singular views.
