About this property

The Monkey Tree Hotel is a private 16-room boutique hotel nestled against the backdrop of the gorgeous San Jacinto Mountains on a large one-acre property in north Palm Springs. Originally designed and built in 1960 by renowned modernist architect Albert Frey, the hotel re-opened in 2016 after a loving restoration. Inside the expansive private courtyard are a large, heated saltwater swimming pool and lush lawn area spacious enough to find a secluded area to relax in peace. The hotel also boasts the area’s first Scandinavian spa, which includes a newly built sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge. Use the spa to rejuvenate, re-energize, or recover from a workout.
