This newest boutique hotel is a desert oasis, tucked between three mountain ranges and downtown Palm Springs. The spare Modernist vocabulary of angular white stucco is paired with rich tones and textures of natural materials and lush desert botanical planting. Open air garden pathways link 168 bungalow-inspired rooms, creating moments of privacy and intimacy with the landscape. The unexpected beauty of the desert landscape is part of the guest experience. The sustainable desert garden connects to and expands the restorative and tranquil power of the surrounding natural landscape. The gardens predominantly feature native plants and those adapted to arid conditions, including various species of cactus, agaves, aloes and desert botanicals. The planting design reflects the use of color, texture and sculptural form throughout the courts. They are arranged in trays of single species to make a greater impact as visitors move through the courts. These gardens are sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and reflect the natural surroundings.
Outdoor amenities are seamlessly experienced with the restaurant and spa, with a spacious pool deck and private cabanas that spill out into the landscape and offer sweeping views of the mountains. Guests are also invited to outdoor activities including a bocce lawn, oversize outdoor games, and plenty of fire pits for nighttime conversation. This memorable sensory garden experience contributes to a sanctuary-like immersion in the desert environment.
