My Favorite Palm Springs Hotels and Resorts
If you are reading this blog post you must be planning a trip to Palm Springs and let me be the first to tell you that this will be one of the best trips of your life! As a born and raised desert dweller I’m still in love with all the desert has to offer and that includes the cutest and most unique boutique hotels and resorts.
There are so many options to consider and it’s hard to choose just one favorite hotel to stay at so we’ve made a list of our all time favorites to share with you. Good luck making a decision though because each of these properties are truly incredible!
Ace Hotel & Swim Club
This is the ultimate Palm Springs fun getaway for anyone who wants an exciting atmosphere and plans to spend a lot of time sunbathing by the pool. There are always DJ’s live by the pool on the weekend during season and we love the coffee and food at King’s Highway or you can grab a drink at The Amigo Room.
During Coachella and festival season ARRIVE is the place to be.
ARRIVE palm springs
At ARRIVE you’ll find another fun pool party type of property with good music and lots of people by the pool. This is central to Palm Springs but is a little farther up norther on Palm Canyon Drive.

colony palms hotel
We love Colony Palms because it has a chic vibe and feels like you’re in a hidden garden and oasis. They also have a yummy restaurant The Purple Palm which you should dine at even if you don’t stay at the hotel.
villa royale
This is a fun spot and is new to the Palm Springs scene! Villa Royale is one of the trendiest boutique hotels in Palm Springs and the design of the property is so cute. You’ll snap lots of photos for the ‘gram while you’re here.
the parker
Our favorite luxury hotel in Palm Springs is the beloved Parker. This is the perfect resort to splurge for an all inclusive experience and to feel like a total celebrity. The Parker has everything from a world class spa to amazing dining - you won’t regret your time spent here.
les cactus
If you are looking for an Instagrammable hotel this is the newest property to Palm Springs and it is splashed with lots of pink accents, cute interior decor and cactus everywhere. At such affordable introductory rates you’ll love your stay at Les Cactus.

korakia pensione
The Korakia Pensione is hands down our favorite boutique hotel because it is a Moroccan getaway that truly feels like paradise. It is centrally located to Palm Springs but once you step on-site you’ll forget you are still in California and you’ll never want to leave the property.
The cute rooftop patio for dinner or events at La Serena Villas and their restaurant Azucar

ingleside inn
We love Ingleside Inn because it is one of the most peaceful properties that is tucked away by the mountains. You’ll love your stay in their cozy bungalows and you can have a formal dinner at their exquisite restaurant Melvynn’s.
the kimpton rowan
It’s no secret that Palm Springs has some of the best boutique resorts and The Kimpton Rowan made it on our list because they have the best view of the desert from their rooftop pool + bar. This view alone is worth a weekend stay and you’ll their dining experience at 4 Saints.
The courtyard at Avalon Hotel & Bungalows
avalon hotel and bungalows
This is another all time favorite because of the chic bungalows and aesthetic of the property! It’s centrally located to downtown and includes all of the amenities you would need for a perfect stay.
the amado
For a truly unique mid-century experience you’ll fall in love with The Amado. Their units are tucked away in a residential complex for a peaceful ambience and they’ve paid attention to every little detail. You’ll truly feel at home at The Amado.
