About Us
A Rancho Mirage icon since 1978, Wally’s Desert Turtle was founded by Wally Botello, creator of the famed Velvet Turtle chain, and is now proudly owned and operated by his son Michael and granddaughter Maddy. Designed by celebrated architect Steven Chase, the dining room remains a timeless showcase of elegance with mirrored ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, hand-painted murals, and global art pieces. Guests enjoy contemporary California cuisine crafted by classically trained chefs, an award-winning wine list, and nightly live music in the Sahara Lounge — all rooted in a family tradition spanning three generations and a commitment to sustainability and farm-to-table sourcing.
