Casa Cody is the oldest operating hotel in Palm Springs, founded in the 1920s by Hollywood pioneer Harriet Cody, cousin of the illustrious Buffalo Bill. Under the management of Casetta Group, Casa Cody reemerges following a historic preservation and revitalization project, ushering the property into the present day with a modernist aesthetic and lifestyle amenities and services while honoring its Spanish Colonial Revival heritage, adobe hacienda architecture, and timeless soul. The designated Class 1 historic site is composed of historic structures and four freestanding homes: Olympic Cottage, which formerly housed athletes during the Los Angeles 1932 Summer Olympics; Winter’s House, an original 1930s California Ranch House; Adobe House, a true adobe built in the early 1900s and one of a handful of remaining adobes documented in Palm Springs; and the quaint and cozy Harriet’s Cottage, one of Casa Cody’s most requested homes. Additional accommodations are available in the 1950s Apache Lodge built by actress Polly Bergen and units transplanted from the estate of Francis Crocker, the “Father of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.” Guided by the old world charm and opulence of Palm Springs, along with the vibrant colors of coastal Spain and a modernist mindset, architecture and interior design firm Electric Bowery instilled the interiors of Casa Cody with a rich palette of color and texture that strikes a delicate balance of sophistication with a sense of playfulness to achieve harmony between the property’s historic façade and its contemporary interiors. Casa Cody’s next chapter is a symphony of classic elegance where style, quality and experience are unsurpassed. Casa Cody is where visionary voyagers come to create and stay to remain inspired.
