So, we’re not going to lie. This place is quirky. But quirky in a really awesome Desert-meets-New-Age-Ranch kind of way. You aren’t going to find anywhere else in Palm Springs like Ace Hotel and Swim Club. And you won’t forget it, either.
Rising from the wreckage of an old 1960s Howard Johnson motel, the hotel’s five acres are surrounded by rolling green mountains and sand. You might even imagine a tumbleweed blowing by. What makes this place so unique is, well, everything. The chief designers wanted the hotel to have “elements of camping, communal living and nature.” And they delivered. The various guestrooms and suites’ walls are draped with white canvases and decorated with vintage National Geographic photos. There are even vinyl album collections in the rooms. And you’ll find all the amenities of a five-star hotel during your stay, too.
The spa is unpretentious yet completely indulgent. Get a massage in a Mongolian yurt or let off some steam in the sauna. And the dining? Excellent. King’s Highway is stationed in an old roadside diner and features fresh, organic and local ingredients. And ice cold (and affordable!) beer is served in the Amigo Room. We know you’ll like this place!
