6 Must-Visit Hotels in Palm Springs

Style and hospitality go hand in hand at new and forthcoming Southern California retreats

Words by: Caitlin St John

hermann bungalows palm springs california
The Hermann Bungalows

Palm Springs has been popular a resort destination for decades. Since the 1930s, for instance, many Los Angeles residents have been retreating to the Southern California locale. But it’s not just a landing place for locals—people come from near and far to enjoy the warm temperatures, golf courses, midcentury modern architecture (hello, Modernism Week!), and more.

In preparation for HD Summit—the industry’s only networking conference focused on ideas outside hospitality—held next week at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, we’ve rounded up some of the area’s most exciting new hotel launches (three of which will be included in a hospitality tour on March 9th).

Azure Sky Hotel

An upscale adults-only boutique hotel joined the hospitality landscape in Palm Springs late last spring. Comprising 14 guestrooms, Azure Sky occupies a midcentury structure originally built in 1965 that was expertly transformed over the course of two years by a creative team made up of Cioffi Architect, Anne L’Esperance, and John Janulis.

Casa Cody

Palm Springs’ longest operating hotel in Palm Springs, Casa Cody, reemerged from a thorough restoration, led by hospitality group Casetta, in April 2021. The revitalized 1.5-acre property, which boasts 30 accommodations, pays homage to its Spanish Colonial Revival heritage and adobe hacienda architecture, while embracing a modern aesthetic and amenities. The Marketplace at Casa Cody, for example, is a curated lifestyle space designed akin to a Spanish home kitchen that was added last summer.

Hermann Bungalows

With mountain vistas as their backdrop, the Hermann Bungalows take cues from the surrounding environment, notable in the midcentury-inspired design elements that appear throughout. Indeed, every room has floor-to-ceiling glass windows to capture uninterrupted views, while the outdoor bar and seating area overlooks the 85-foot-long zero-edge pool. Built from the ground up by Santa Barbara-based Steve Hermann Design, the 24-key property takes inspiration from the earth tones of the landscape surrounding it, with architecture reminiscent of Nuetra’s midcentury modern houses, featuring flying buttress post and beams.

Lifehouse, Palm Springs

Debuting soon, lifestyle brand Lifehouse’s first West Coast property is a celebration of its 1965-era building’s past while layering in Japanese minimalism, midcentury modernism, and botanical influences—brought together with a color palette reminiscent of the Coachella Valley. Joining the 66 guestrooms that overlook the mountains will be an outdoor pool and lounge area featuring a green-wrapped bar, intimate firepit lounge, and garden dining gazebos.
