Coachella 2023: Still looking for a place to stay during the Coachella? Here are some options
Looking for a place to stay during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival? You still have options, albeit limited.
Hotels in the Coachella Valley often sell out months in advance before the festival, and the increased demand means rooms are sold at a premium. However, at least one Palm Springs hotel is offering a discount for Weekend 2 Coachella festivalgoers, which is the weekend of the event that isn't sold out yet.
For those looking for an average room or looking to splurge, here are four local hotels showing availability during Coachella.
Ace Hotel & Swim Club
Availability: Weekend 1 and Weekend 2
Location: 701 East Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs.
Distance to festival: 25 miles
Price: $449 to $974 a night as of publication
More information: acehotel.com/palmsprings
This international boutique hotel chain is known for its stylish interiors and packed event calendars, and its Coachella Valley location is no different. The Ace Hotel Palm Springs has its own mini fest, Desert Gold, taking place the same two weekends as Coachella, so interested festivalgoers can come for the all-day, EDM-soaked pool parties and stay for the craft brews in the attached Amigo Room bar. And now until April 3, Weekend 2 festivalgoers can get 25% off their stay with code STAYGOLD — a limited, A-list Festival rate that's prepaid and nonrefundable.
Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa
Availability: Weekend 1 and Weekend 2
Location: 41-000 Bob Hope Drive, Rancho Mirage.
Distance to festival: 14 miles
Price: $1,156 to $2,062 a night as of publication

This high-end hotel is a good option for anyone looking for mid-valley stay (therefore a quicker ride to Indio than the Palm Springs hotels) that also offers other activities. Guests of this resort have a spa, a water park, three golf courses, three pools, eight pickleball courts and 18 tennis courts on-site to keep them busy.
Motel 6 Palm Desert
Availability: Weekend 1 and Weekend 2
Location: 78-100 Varner Road, Palm Desert
Distance to festival: 9 miles
Price: $699 to $719 a night as of publication
More information: motel6.com
It may not be the most glamorous of options, but the Motel 6 is a slightly more affordable place to stay than some of the hotels with a higher star rating on this list. Its special features include free coffeee, pet-friendly rooms and the perk of several acclaimed Palm Springs restaurants within walking distance.
Avalon Hotel
Availability: Weekend 1 and Weekend 2
Location: 415 S. Belardo Road, Palm Springs
Distance to festival: 23 miles
Price: $789 to $1,649 a night as of publication
More information: avalon-hotel.com/palm-springs/
If you're looking for a boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Palm Springs, the Avalon fits the bill. And for now, when you book a three-night (or longer) stay durings the festivals (so any of the last three weekends of April), you'll get a $200 dining credit to use at poolside restaurant Chi Chi or next door at Melvyn’s Restaurant.
