Where to stay for Coachella 2024: Last Minute Tips

If you are headed to the desert for Coachella music festival, you may be looking for the best places to stay. Perhaps you are looking for an affordable option, or maybe you’re looking to splurge on luxury accommodations.

Keep in mind that some people book their Coachella hotel room a year in advance, so accommodation options for April book up fast. If you wait until the last minute to book Coachella weekend, popular hotels and resorts in the Palm Springs area and near Joshua Tree National Park can get extra pricey.

We’ve put together a map of some of the best hotel and vacation rental options available closest to the Coachella festival grounds. (You can Zoom in or out to see how close the hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals are to Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Coachella Valley where the festival is held.
