WHG owns and develops brand name hotels throughout the United States. WMS is Windsor Hospitality Group�s division dedicated to third-party management contracts. Several of the properties in Windsor�s portfolio are in the Hilton Family of Brands, but this is their and the area�s first Homewood Suites by Hilton and Windsor�s first property in the Coachella Valley. 

WMS has overseen this property�s development from its genesis and has made the area�s unique visitor composite one of its top priorities. �We will do small groups, but about 50-percent of our business is extended-stay, meaning five nights or more,� says General Manager Brad Poncher. The other 50-percent of our business will be normal transient hotel traffic. WMS has already secured agreements with a few major accounts and wants them to see all that the hotel has to offer, Poncher explains. 

�At this property, we have one board room set with a beautiful table for executive meetings up to 12 people. We also have a 1,400 square-foot meeting room that we can divide into two rooms � Any connections people would want for audio-visual equipment, we can provide or arrange to bring in for the occasion.� 

While the Homewood Suites La Quinta is prepared to handle its corporate and other group business� technological needs, the property is not hard on the eyes. 

�The property looks like a little, three-story Riviera resort on the corner of Miles Washington, almost directly across from the famed Indian Wells Tennis Gardens,� Poncher says. �Our landscaping is beautiful � It is very floral, however the designers created it with our unique desert environmental concerns in mind. Jose Estrada is our very talented landscape artist with Herman & Associates out of Riverside, Calif. WMS contracted with him to design our outdoor lighting scheme as well.� 

The exterior design scheme flows smoothly inside the property, where the colors are based on a soft yellow and the rooms are filled with distinct pieces. Poncher illustrates, �All of our furniture in the suites, from our beds and nightstands and hand-painted mirrors in the bathrooms are custom-made pieces. They were designed by a Southern Californian artisan whose work has the homey, special touches people find delightful when they stay for longer periods.� 

Those guests are welcome to help themselves to the Homewood Suites La Quinta complimentary breakfast seven days each week. Eggs, fresh fruit, waffles, sausage, a cereal variety, pastries, juice and coffee are theirs to enjoy. Monday through Thursday, guests are welcome a complimentary supper buffet that includes a salad bar, one or two entrées and a fresh dessert. 

If you are not too distracted by being hungry, Poncher insists the pool is the property�s main attraction. �The pool is probably the most incredible spot in the hotel. Ours is a large, resort-sized pool with a lush rock waterfall feature, which unusual for the area.� 

The Homewood Suites La Quinta is near the area polo fields, is surrounded by prestigious golf courses and very near all of the top-flight restaurants in town. As Poncher says, �La Quinta is called �the gem of the Desert.� With this hotel�s beauty, its décor and all of the best local attractions next door, we are the gem of La Quinta.� Poncher, Windsor Management Services and Windsor Hospitality Group as a whole, are proud to welcome their newest guests.
