Welcome to the City of Rancho Mirage, California—the ruggedly beautiful realm of the Desert Bighorn and the home of the world’s most sumptuous desert resorts and hotels!
More than the Playground of Presidents, Rancho Mirage is an extraordinary destination for vacationers and a year-round haven for residents. Ours is a decidedly user-friendly city offering warm hospitality, interesting cultural events, a variety of athletic activities, amenity-packed accommodations, exceptional medical facilities and meticulously maintained parks and public areas.
Rancho Mirage takes considerable pride in our business and shopping sectors and our world-renowned convention and tourism opportunities. More than three million tourists each year enjoy our world-class resorts, championship golf courses, spectacular hiking trails, first-class restaurants, gaming opportunities at the Agua Caliente Casino and, of course, endless scenic vistas. During your visit you will appreciate why our residents are quick to extol this unique oasis in the desert.
Our city is located in the literal middle of the Palm Springs Valley string of vibrant cities. Palm Springs is five minutes to the west and Palm Desert and Indian Wells are five minutes to the east. When you stay in Rancho Mirage you are in the heart of the very experiences you came to the valley to enjoy.
Visit our new public library—one of the true wonders of the Palm Springs Valley and, indeed, the entire state. Spend a few hours shopping at The River and the Monterey Marketplace and top off the day with creative cuisine at one of the dozens of fine restaurants throughout the city.
Whether you are here for a few days of golfing, a romantic interlude, much-needed R&R or a combination of reasons, we believe you will be seduced by the charm and elegance of this vibrant city.
Sincerely,
G. Dana Hobart
Mayor
