Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Indian Wells
Tommy Bahama MiramonteFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in Indian Wells: two of them, from 160 euros a night.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
Two luxury hotels in Indian Wells – and how to choose
The two luxury hotels in Indian Wells cost 160 € and 185 € a night. At both the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
Renaissance Esmeralda Indian WellsSo the price tells you almost nothing here – the rooms all the more.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
25 euros of difference is about 16 per cent. By that measure the two hotels cost almost the same.
Look at the number of room categories and a completely different ratio appears:
• At the Tommy Bahama Miramonte from 160 €: 11 categories.
• At the Renaissance Esmeralda Indian Wells from 185 €: 67 categories.
That is six times the range – for 16 per cent more money.
What that means in practice: at the smaller hotel the choice is taken in in five minutes. At the larger one there is something for almost any requirement – but you will not want to go through the choice on your own.
Our advice: decide first whether you want to choose or to arrive. If you want to book quickly, take the smaller hotel; if you have particular requirements – connecting doors, a specific position, several rooms side by side – the larger one is right, and we will go through the 67 categories for you.
Where to stay in Indian Wells: small or large
The two best hotels in Indian Wells stand in the same desert valley east of Los Angeles.
The Renaissance Esmeralda Indian Wells from 185 € offers 67 categories. Two of them look out on two things at once: mountains and golf course – which is exactly what this valley is known for. Our recommendation for anyone who needs choice.
The Tommy Bahama Miramonte from 160 € offers 11 categories, from 30 to 100 square metres. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to decide quickly.
Our travel advisors know the routes between the two addresses and work them out for your particular occasion.
78 categories: the best hotels in Indian Wells from the inside
Together the best hotels in Indian Wells offer 78 categories – and 67 of them sit at a single hotel.
At the Tommy Bahama Miramonte the eleven categories break down like this: twice 30.66, four times 37.16, twice 51.1, twice 67.35 – and once 100.15 square metres.
So the ladder is densely occupied at the bottom and has exactly one unit that stands clearly above it.
For the Renaissance Esmeralda Indian Wells our travel advisors have the square metres confirmed before you book – with 67 categories that is not a formality but the real advisory step.

What a night at a luxury hotel in Indian Wells costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in Indian Wells costs 160 € or 185 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Tommy Bahama Miramonte | 160 € | 1st night |
| Renaissance Esmeralda Indian Wells | 185 € | 1st night |
How long to stay: four nights. Indian Wells lies in the Coachella Valley, and the desert sets the rhythm of the day: mornings and late afternoons outdoors, the middle indoors. Go through that once and you have lost a day; stay four nights and you have adjusted to it.
At both hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
When it is at its best: from November to April, when the days are warm and the nights cool. Our recommendation for a first visit.
In March the valley comes alive for the tennis tournament. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to plan around those weeks – but then, early.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
Breakfast, hotel credit and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
At both hotels an upgrade subject to availability, a late check-out and a welcome gift are included.
