Alcazar Palm Springs

In Palm Springs’ super-hip Uptown Design District, a boutique stay steps out onto tree-lined streets and San Jacinto–framed skylines. Walk to Ruth Hardy Park, O'Donnell Golf Club and the Palm Springs Art Museum, and reach Palm Springs International Airport in about 4 miles.

This modern 34-room boutique hotel mixes sleek redesign with cozy touches. Rooms show off imported Italian linens, pillowtop beds with down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets, refrigerators, flat-screen LEDs and some with fireplaces, poolside patios and mountain views. Bathrobes and thoughtful in-room basics round out the vibe.

Dive into an outdoor pool and unwind in the hot tub/spa tub, then pedal around town on complimentary Townie bikes. There’s a cafe serving coffee, espresso and pastries, concierge service, free self-parking, ironing/press services and sun-drenched poolside patios for mountain-view mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout keeps you connected. A business center, luggage storage and multilingual staff make work-or-play logistics easy.

Two on-site restaurants and a bar/lounge serve satisfying meals and cocktails, plus an on-property cafe for morning coffee and pastries. An adjoining dining property offers breakfast, lunch and dinner options if you want to roam.
