A new hotel described as “upscale” is being proposed for a location near Old Town La Quinta, according to recent planning documents submitted to the city.
Project Details and Location
The proposed hotel would be constructed on a vacant 2.1-acre site at the intersection of Avenida Bermudas and Calle Tampico. The location is situated just south of Old Town La Quinta, which is known for its shops, restaurants, and events.
Development Plans
According to the application, the hotel would feature 131 rooms and include amenities such as a pool, fitness center, and meeting spaces. The plans also indicate that the property would offer a restaurant and bar accessible to both guests and the public.
City Review Process
The project is currently in the early stages of the city’s review process. City officials have stated that the proposal will undergo a series of public hearings and design evaluations before any final approvals are granted.
Potential Impact on the Area
City planners noted that the proposed hotel could bring additional visitors to the area and support local businesses in Old Town La Quinta. However, some residents have raised concerns about potential traffic increases and the impact on neighborhood character.
Next Steps
The city’s planning commission is expected to review the project at an upcoming meeting, though a specific date has not yet been scheduled. Further details about the hotel’s brand and timeline for construction have not been disclosed.
