Westin Mission Hills

Just 15 miles away from where Coachella takes places, this well-groomed spa resort is generic in all the right ways. The 500-plus rooms and jacuzzi suites are predictably warm and muted, all with desks, coffeemakers and private patios. Heads up: you’ll probably be sharing the facilities with families who have children, but peace and quiet is easy enough to come by either with a morning jog along the resort’s running path or by flopping onto one of the enticing, lipstick-red daybed loungers perched next to the adults-only pool. Keep in mind there’s a $32 resort fee, which covers gym use and wifi, though sadly not breakfast (if you do feel like splurging, there’s no shortage of restaurants, some with fancy outdoor terraces and roaring fire pits). Even if you’re not a golfer, the property’s two pristine courses—set among glassy lakes and rippling mountains—mean there’s not a bad view to speak of.
