The Modernism Week Fall Preview in Palm Springs is around the corner and over the next few days we will share with you best places to stay, where to eat and what to do when you had enough of pool parties (if that’s possible). First, let’s get you covered with a hotel room.
Since first silent movies played on screen, Palm Springs has been an escape for Hollywood’s celebrities. Resorts and hotels have started popping up in the 20s, and little has changed over the time. Maybe the stars don’t flock as much as in the past, but Palm Springs is still mushrooming with amazing hotels, from super posh to minimally simplistic. Seemingly, a new hotel is opening almost every week, and our list of hotels-to-stay-at-in-Palm-Springs is growing. To help you choose your stay we rounded up six hotels you definitely need to put on your Palm Springs list. best palm springs hotels
Yes, we are aware you know about it, and maybe you have been to this one, but no round up is complete without Ace Hotel Pool & Spa. Already more of an institution with pool parties, game nights, live music and just super chill vibes, the Ace is the place to spend (at least) one night. The army-inspired, with bohemian touches, design welcomes young and young at heart, and everyone who loves a hip, cool atmosphere.
3 reasons to stay here:
★ Lively pool atmosphere with a DJ if that’s your jam.
★ Ace has several, secluded outdoor fireplaces with sofas and chairs, where you can sit and sip on your drink and enjoy the hot Palm Spring nights. We highly recommend ordering food from the room service and enjoying it in front. It’s one of the best “restaurant” seats in Palm Springs.
