Travelogue: Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, Part 1
Going to the desert usually isn’t my idea of a good time. I don’t like long drives, and heat doesn’t sit well with me. So I hesitated at first when the opportunity to spend a weekend in Indian Wells, Calif., presented itself because that’s, like, past Palm Springs.
You see, I was invited by the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, a Marriott property, to stay a night and experience its restaurants, Sirocco and CAVA. I wasn’t sure about the desert location as I knew very little about Indian Wells other than a big tennis tournament happens there every year, but then I saw this on the hotel’s website
and immediately changed my mind. Indian Wells, here I come!
In this post I’ll discuss the hotel property, and in a subsequent post I’ll feature the resort’s food, so stay tuned.
