Get Your Coachella Hotel Rooms Now
If you're planning a trip to Coachella and don't want to go the camping route, you'd best reserve that overpriced hotel room soon. Rooms around the festival book up fast before the eventual disaster ensues, in which fans desperate to avoid the campsite heat scramble for alternatives. Coachella recommends Southwestrooms.com for booking, and we pulled up a $179-a-night motel rate there for the "Deluxe Inn." Coachella also recommends calling Desert Hotel Reservations. Competition is fiercest for cheap hotels in Indio. You might have better luck 25 miles away in Palm Springs, where a still-open room at the Ramada is going for $260 a night, and bars for partying in are more plentiful.
A complimentary internet cafe is planned for the camping area this year, so perhaps that could draw you in. At $45 for a three-day permit, the camping fee with included internet access is just about equal to the highest of reported European hotel WiFi charges. But there's no air conditioning in camping.
As far as airports at which to spot celebrities, Palm Springs International Airport is your best bet--it's the closest to the festival. Ontario Airport is further away, but also has the benefit of JetBlue service, and those new flights from ExpressJet Airlines, which will be starting in early April, just in time for the party.
