When the West Coast is socked in with fog and damp and the work grind calls for a creative recharge, smart Southern Californians head to Palm Springs to soak up its warm sun and creative laid-back energy. With exceptional restaurants and shops, miles of hiking and bike trails, and an extensive display of public art, Palm Springs encourages you to create an escape that is all your own. 

And to set the tone for your perfect mind-week escape or long weekend adventure, find a boutique hotel that perfectly delivers the vibe you crave. 

Find the right Palm Springs boutique hotel for your needs

While some hotels are perfect for partying (bachelorette bash, anyone?) others are better suited for quiet escapes and romantic getaways. There are even boutique hotels that cater to the LGBTQ+ and clothing optional communities. And if you want to take Brutus or Fifi with you, many small hotels welcome small dogs.

Palm Springs boutique hotels are known for their exceptional architectural and cultural diversity. From historic inns and quietly secluded bungalows to hip and modern hangouts, they cater to the spectrum of Palm Springs travelers’ tastes. And for mid-century modern design aficionados, there’s no better place to stay than in one of Palm Springs authentically vintage or reimagined small hotels.

Here’s just a taste of what’s waiting for you in town:
