Luxury Resort Closes in SoCal

A luxury resort in southern California will today close it’s doors for business. For the third time in the last few years, as the economy continues to worsen, despite assurances from the Government Inc. The Borrego Ranch Resort & Spa, previously known as “La Casa del Zorro,” in Borrego Springs was purchased by GH Capital in 2007 for the sum of $4.5 million.

The 42-acre resort included 44 poolside rooms and 19 one-to-four-bedroom casitas, and was long billed as a quieter getaway than Palm Springs. But the timing was bad and the resort has finally shuttered after 50 years in the business. The resort was the second-largest employer in Borrego Springs, employing 65-70 permanent staff. But, no more, and the likelihood of replacing those jobs any time soon is slim.

The resort is not taking any more bookings, and should you be unfortunate enough to have an existing booking, there is a new telephone number where you are assured of a full refund. 800.824.1884
