USASBE 2005 - Hotel Information

The Renaissance Esmeralda Resort is inspired by the beauty of classic resorts in the Mediterranean. This award-winning resort, with its surrounding golf courses, lush foliage and angular architecture, evokes the image of an emerald gemstone. Just 13 miles east of the Palm Springs Regional Airport, in affluent Indian Wells, California, this luxury resort might appear to be a mirage amid the desert landscape. The resort embodies the luxury, quality and superior service that are the Renaissance style. Each guest room and suite has a private balcony, with a view of mountains, pools, lakes or golf courses.
