Hotel Details

Location

Set in the quiet Historic Tennis Club neighbourhood, the hotel is a short walk from downtown Palm Springs, with no need for a car once parked.
The property is located at the foot of the desert hills, providing mountain views and a serene setting. Palm Springs International Airport is 4 km away. O'Donnell Golf Course is a 15-minute walk, Palm Springs Convention Center is 2 km, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is 5 km. The location is also walkable to the Arenas District, Palm Canyon Drive dining and shopping, and the Palm Springs Art Museum. The enclosed, gated site ensures privacy while remaining close to town, and free parking on site means the car can stay put for the entire stay.

Accommodation

Spacious, air-conditioned rooms with mid-century modern design, kitchenettes, private patios or terraces and garden or pool views.
Each room features a private bathroom with bath and shower, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. Kitchenettes are equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, cookware and a Keurig coffeemaker (traditional coffeemakers available on request). Rooms include a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee maker, wardrobe, desk, private entrance, and either a patio or terrace with garden views. Some units offer a spa bath or a separate living area. Heating, allergy-free options and non-smoking throughout are confirmed. The property is designed in the mid-century modern style with original details, and the rooms are larger than typical Palm Springs hotel rooms, with comfortable beds and ample closet space.

Dining

No on-site restaurant or bar, but the fully equipped kitchenettes and complimentary snacks allow for easy self-catering in the room.
For dining out, Persimmon Bistro is 1 km away, and the surrounding Historic Tennis Club and downtown areas offer numerous restaurants within a short walk. The hotel provides a helpful starting point for self-catering with each room's kitchenette and complimentary snacks, coffee and bottled water.

Wellness and Leisure

A heated pool with mountain views is available 24 hours, complemented by a hot tub and a quiet garden with outdoor seating.
The pool area is the social heart of the property, with cushioned loungers in both sun and shade, and a 24-hour access rule (quiet time after 9 pm). The hot tub is available for all registered guests, though its operational status should be confirmed ahead as it may occasionally be out of service. The well-maintained garden and fountain attract birds and add to the peaceful atmosphere. The property is also within walking distance to hiking trails at the base of the mountains.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room away from the pool area if you prioritise absolute quiet, as the courtyard and pool filter are the most audible sounds on site.

  • 02

    Use the free on-site parking - the car is unnecessary once you arrive, as downtown shops and restaurants are within a short walk.

  • 03

    Plan to self-check-in via email or messaging; the property is contactless but staff are responsive and can assist with luggage storage or early access when possible.
