Hotels in Desert Hot Springs, CA

“We had such a wonderful stay at The Getaway in Desert Hot Springs! My husband, our two boys, and I were instantly charmed by the catchy 1950s–60s retro vibe of the rooms—so fun and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like a step back in time, in the best way possible.

The area felt super safe, which made it easy to fully relax and enjoy. The pool was absolutely perfect for cooling off during the day, and our favorite part might have been soaking in the hot tub under the stars in the evening—it was peaceful and just what we needed.

This was such a special family getaway, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, relaxing desert escape near Palm Springs!”

“Spent a few days at this cool boutique hotel on a trip through the area. A small hotel, private, secure, comfortable and quiet mostly location, thats close to town but not in the busy noisy area. Only eight rooms. The innkeeper is kind and professional, he went above and beyond to make me feel welcome the couple days I was there. All digital checkin and access, controlled entry point gates and privacy walls at front, with fencing around the perimeter. A few parking places right at the front of the hotel. The rooms modern, comfortable and nicely furnished. Comfortable beds and decent hot water for a shower. All the standards one expects to find while traveling. Fridge with coffee station, a flat screen, table and chairs, etc. The grounds of the property are very private and nicely maintained. A hot mineral water pool (90 degrees) and hot tub (104) fill the interior courtyard that is concrete walkways all around. The backyard is very comfortable with several seating areas, a firepit, a fenced dog recreation and relief area and bbq grill. The property is also truly dog friendly (no fees charged) and as well is a cannabis friendly hotel with open outdoor consumption encouraged. 4 Stars a solid very hip little hotel with a great innkeeper that provides a great escape for a day or longer. 00959”

“We enjoyed our stay at Hope Springs! The rooms were fresh, the pools were clean, and the facility was very serene. We enjoyed the vintage mid-century modern architecture and furnishings which gave the resort a personal touch and complimented the excellently maintained grounds. The continental breakfast was well stocked with wonderful food and many options. The coffee is great too, as they use Joshua Tree organic coffee. The environment around the pools is very relaxing and a great place to get away from screens with the facilities posted policy about cell phone usage. The rooms were clean and the platform bed and floor mat made the room comfortable. The hosts were very wonderful people and made it easy to check in and out. We will certainly return!”

“I planned a wedding at The Lautner Compound last weekend and it was a wonderful day! Tracy and her team were very efficient and on top on everything. They were present all day offering help and making sure things ran smoothly alongside my planning team. The venue is truly SO BEAUTIFUL with so many tiny perfect details. Thanks Tracy! :)”

“Such a beautiful place with all sorts of wellness inspired things to do...salt room, ice room, sauna, hot springs tubs, big pool and garden space. This was our second time with my ladies (friends for over 40 years), got the rooms with the big tub. Decor, thoughtful touches, incense, candles, robes, etc. Such a relaxing place that you really don't need to leave the property. Cafe food is good, not great, but good. All staff we interacted with were wonderful! Didn't get massages this time, but the last time we did and were fantastic.”

“Stayed one night and it was nice, The New Manager deeply cares about his new position and the success of the hotel. Just make sure you ask for the Door codes and wi-fi so you dont get locked out of the resort. It’s quiet and you have three pool options”

“The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Spent the day at the pools and spa so I can’t say anything about the rooms.
First the Ugly. The decor could use some updating. It kitschy 1980s and it makes the place feel dated and not so clean. The Bad - well I can’t really say anything bad about it. But the GOOD! I’ll save the best for last— the receptionists (both in the lobby and inside the spa) were very nice and dealt with a few logistical issues we encountered. At the spa Hiram the masseuse was great. His hands must have eyes because he knew exactly how to find the knots. Afterward we had lunch at the restaurant and while the food was okay the service was FIVE ⭐️ STAR!! Maddie was our server and I would recommend and return just for the outstanding and professional customer service that she brought to the table. She could give lessons on exemplary customer service and it’s this that really makes this place shine. Go there, it’s a fun day trip.”

“Our first time here. Mark is an amazing Bartender/Host he made us feel like family. Sergio (security) friendly helpful and just an all around good guy. We come to the valley twice a year, from this day forward we will only stay at this place. Wonder experience”
