The Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage rises like a desert mirage, an oasis of luxury, elegance and cultural depth nestled along iconic Bob Hope Drive, just 10 miles southeast of Palm Springs. More than a high-end getaway, the resort is a living tribute to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, who have inhabited this land for centuries.

The Agua Caliente people are Indigenous to inland Southern California. For thousands of years, they thrived in the harsh desert landscape, developing complex irrigation systems and living in harmony with their environment. The name “Agua Caliente,” meaning “hot water” in Spanish, refers to the region’s natural hot springs, long revered for their healing properties and still flowing beneath the desert floor.

Opened in 2008, the resort is one of the tribe’s premier enterprises, reflecting their legacy of resilience and innovation. It features a striking 16-story tower with 340 guest rooms and suites, all offering views of the surrounding mountains and desert. It has earned accolades, including a AAA Four Diamond rating and the Forbes Four-Star Award. Guests can indulge in a full menu of treatments at the Forbes Five-Star Sunstone Spa, dine at venues like the upscale Steakhouse or vibrant 360 Sports Bar, and enjoy world-class live entertainment at The Show, a state-of-the-art performance venue. The 45,000-square-foot casino is alive with energy, boasting over 2,000 slot machines, poker tables, blackjack, and more.

Whether you're seeking serenity or excitement, the resort offers a complete escape while honoring the land and culture of the Agua Caliente people, who continue to shape the future of this remarkable desert region.
