Limon Palm Springs
Hotel Backstory
Limón Palm Springs is as fresh and effervescent as its name suggests. Built in 1956, this mid-century modern property makes a statement, with cheerful pops of yellow everywhere, from the doors to the kitchen backsplash. The colorful wallpaper, eclectic art, and patterned tile and rugs add to the vibrant feel. It’s very Palm Springs, but there’s also an international touch. “Picture white Vespas in front, a little bit of Italian flair,” co-owner Amy Brinkman said. “That’s what we went for with this structure. It’s a little more elevated, more luxurious, and more private.” When Amy and her husband, Tim Brinkman,...
Limón Palm Springs is as fresh and effervescent as its name suggests. Built in 1956, this mid-century modern property makes a statement, with cheerful pops of yellow everywhere, from the doors to the kitchen backsplash. The colorful wallpaper, eclectic art, and patterned tile and rugs add to the vibrant feel. It’s very Palm Springs, but there’s also an international touch. “Picture white Vespas in front, a little bit of Italian flair,” co-owner Amy Brinkman said. “That’s what we went for with this structure. It’s a little more elevated, more luxurious, and more private.” When Amy and her husband, Tim Brinkman, first heard about the property, they weren’t in the market to buy anything — they own the LIT Property Group, and were working on other hospitality projects. That changed once they saw it in person. “We were blown away by the glass and steel architecture,” Tim said. “We saw the amazing bones and what we could do with it all. We were on the same page, right off the bat, and what actually transpired even exceeded our expectations.” Limón has six large guest suites with private patios, the interior design by local firm H3K. There are two different ways to stay here: guests can reserve individual rooms, or the entire property can be rented out by one group, accommodating up to 14 people. Limón works well for bachelorette parties, family reunions, and retreats because there’s space for everyone to spread out, especially outside, where there’s a sparkling pool, spa, barbecue area, fire pits, a television, and outstanding mountain views. With a buyout, guests are welcomed with champagne and charcuterie, and can arrange to have private chefs cook meals in the state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen and bartenders come over for a private happy hour. “If you want it, you ask us and we’ll do it,” Amy said. Visitors to Limón not only appreciate the style and design, but also the care Amy and Tim put into ensuring that the amenities are top notch and guests have everything they need for a relaxing stay. “It feels like the coolest spot in Palm Springs,” Tim said.
About this property
Limón Palm Springs knows how to impress. It starts even before guests arrive at this luxury boutique hotel. Limón is reserved by just one group at a time, and the property’s “celebration specialists” will help with everything from reserving transportation and golf tee-times to hiring a gourmet chef to make a delicious meal onsite. Once at the property, guests are greeted with a charcuterie board, featuring locally-sourced ingredients, plus chilled bottles of prosecco and sparkling rosé. The hotel accommodates up to 14 people and with six large guest suites, there’s room for everyone to spread out. The linens are by Frette and the bath products by L’Occitane, and each suite has its own flatscreen television and patio area. The communal spaces include a fully-equipped kitchen with an oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, and ice machine and a living room with an oversized wet bar, foosball table, and television. Limón is an all-steel, mid-century modern building dating back to 1956, when it was an apartment house. While walking around the property guests can’t help but smile — there are cheerful pops of color everywhere, from the yellow front door to the funky wallpaper and eclectic artwork hanging on the walls. Limón was designed by Palm Springs’ H3K Home + Design, and the hotel’s website says the firm took their inspiration for Limón “from the optimistic era and continental graphics and style of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.” That’s just the inside. Outside, there’s a large pool, spa, television, and barbecue area with a built-in counter for dining. It’s the perfect place for groups to start their day, enjoying breakfast under the sun, or wind down at night, catching up under the stars in the spa.
