A total reset—with eucalyptus steam, desert stone massages, and peace that lasts longer than your holiday tan. Hungry? The Edge Steakhouse plates up juicy perfection with a side of sunset. Whether you're here to reconnect, unwind, or just disappear from your inbox, this is the kind of place that says “relax” — but makes it stylish, sensory, and unforgettable.

“Simply the Best Hotel in the Desert – Exceptional as Always!”

Oct 15, 2026Magnus C

Another amazing stay at what we consider THE best hotel in the desert! The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage, continues to impress in every possible way. The ambience is simply perfect with amazing grounds, sleek rooms with just the right Ritz luxury feel , but what truly sets this hotel apart is its exceptional staff. From the moment you arrive, you feel genuinely welcomed and in the most capable hands. The warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by everyone make the entire experience feel effortless and special. From the valet team greeting you upon arrival, to the reception and bell staff ensuring a seamless check-in, and the concierge thoughtfully reaching out to make sure everything is just right – every interaction reflects the highest standards of hospitality. What makes it particularly special is that the service never feels excessive or intrusive. It’s attentive, personal, and perfectly balanced – exactly what you would expect from a true five-star-plus luxury hotel. A very special thank you to Andrew and the entire team for such a warm and caring welcome. You really do make your guests feel special. Our previous visit was back in 2019, and returning after all these years, we were delighted to discover that the magic hasn’t faded one bit. Everything is just as wonderful as we remembered. Views, pools, food and drink - all 110% perfect. The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage, remains a truly exceptional place, and we can’t wait to return, next time we visit California.

“Very average Ritz lacing customer service.”

My stay was odd. First of all the location is a bit out of the way but the reward is the view is nice. You are on a little mountain overlooking town but you are about 30 minutes to Palm Springs (no matter what anyone says). Check in was chaotic. For a Ritz this shouldn't be the case. There was a bit of a wait and everyone seemed confused. I didn't' find the check in staff to be friendly or accommodating. Very robotic and all seemed annoyed. I was also annoyed at their lack of knowledge of the rooms and the location. The rooms are weird and beige. Some have this odd bathroom that opens up over looking the main room and felt very 90s. They are also small. I moved rooms a few times to get a more updated room. I booked the patio room. Overall it was okay. The property was loud and overall not that special. It felt like they all catered to weddings, corporate events and children (think candy stand in lobby), areas off limits to private parties and weddings. The club lounge was pleasant because it was quiet. Otherwise the place was loud. Not the best Ritz.

“Relaxing upscale desert vibes”

From the moment we checked in, from the valet, to the front desk, to the bellman, the service here was excellent. Even at the restaurants, the hostesses and servers were all helpful and friendly. Same goes for the poolside service. Everyone was hard working and helpful. The grounds and hotel are beautiful and picturesque. The room was comfortable and the small touches like the mirror and hook in the shower were appreciated. And as someone who loves to take baths, the bathtub was the largest I've ever seen in any hotel and it filled up so quickly. They provide Diptyque toiletries also. There are a handful of restaurants that are close by. The restaurants on site had great food also, which isn't always the case for hotel food. But in this case, all the food we ate turned out to be delicious. We couldn't go on the trails nearby due to the heat, but I imagine if you are an early riser, it would be nice to walk the grounds or up the small hills. Overall, a very relaxing stay. I would definitely come back!
