Palm Springs is famous for its late-night pool parties, yet some visit the desert to rest. Here are the seven best hotels in Palm Springs, offering a unique blend of luxury, charm, and relaxation.
1. Sparrows Lodge
If you’re looking to unplug and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Sparrows Lodge is the perfect retreat. This adults-only oasis offers a serene atmosphere with just hummingbirds for company. It’s no wonder that movie stars of the past may have come here to escape the spotlight.
2. L’Horizon Resort And Spa, Hermann Bungalows
Hermann Bungalows is one of Palm Springs’ most delightfully low-key addresses. With pine ceilings and Frette linens, this charming resort offers the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Plus, with the addition of the Hermann Bungalows, guests can enjoy even more space and privacy.
