The Rosalie by AvantStay
A relaxed midcentury retreat in Tahquitz River Estates
The Rosalie offers a boutique desert experience in Palm Springs’ Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood, where nine accommodations surround a landscaped courtyard designed for relaxation. Its midcentury-inspired setting, palm trees, and mountain views create a welcoming atmosphere just minutes from downtown.
The property’s central courtyard is the heart of the experience, featuring a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sun loungers, fire pit, poolside grill, and putting green. An outdoor lounge provides another place to gather between excursions around town.
Accommodations range from studios to larger apartments, with select units offering kitchenettes and private patios. Soft colors, contemporary furnishings, and indoor-outdoor living spaces complement the relaxed desert setting.
With its mix of private accommodations and shared resort-style amenities, The Rosalie is a good option for couples, families, and travelers who appreciate a smaller-scale boutique property. Groups can also book the hotel as a full-property buyout for a shared setting with individual accommodations.
The Weekend by AvantStay
A midcentury-inspired escape near the Uptown Design District
The Weekend combines the character of Palm Springs’ midcentury modern era with the comforts of a contemporary boutique stay. Near the Uptown Design District, the property offers a quiet retreat close to the city’s design shops, galleries, restaurants, and downtown attractions.
The hotel’s suites feature clean architectural lines, retro-inspired details, and thoughtfully selected furnishings. Spacious layouts offer room to unwind, while kitchenettes in select accommodations make it easy to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or a light meal before heading out. Private patios extend the living space outdoors.
A central swimming pool surrounded by palms and comfortable loungers creates an inviting place to spend a sunny afternoon. With its intimate atmosphere and suite-style accommodations, The Weekend suits couples, small groups, and visitors who want a design-forward home base for exploring Palm Springs.
The Blackhaus Hotel by AvantStay
A contemporary, adults-only desert retreat
For travelers drawn to contemporary architecture and modern design, The Blackhaus Hotel offers a different take on the Palm Springs boutique hotel experience. Designed by architect Chris Pardo, the property features modern accommodations arranged around shared outdoor spaces.
The atmosphere is sleek and distinctive, with individually styled interiors and a balance of private retreats and communal gathering areas. Guests can relax by the central pool, dine on an outdoor terrace, gather around the fireplace, or challenge companions to a game of bocce ball.
Accommodation options range from individual suites to larger configurations suited to groups traveling together. Full-property buyouts offer extra space for shared meals and socializing while letting guests keep their own private sleeping quarters.
The Blackhaus is particularly well suited to adults seeking a contemporary Palm Springs getaway, whether for a couples’ escape, a weekend with friends, or a larger group trip.
The Marley Hotel by AvantStay
A private desert retreat for adults and groups
The Marley Hotel offers a more private boutique hotel experience. Designed for adults, the property can be reserved for exclusive group stays, letting friends and other travelers enjoy shared accommodations and outdoor amenities together.
The property features a swimming pool and spa, a fire pit, private patios, and generous indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. A well-equipped communal kitchen with high-end Viking appliances makes it easy to prepare meals, while spacious lounges provide room to relax between outings.
Guests can also arrange additional services to personalize their stay, including private yoga instruction, massage therapy, guided meditation, catering, bartending, and pre-arrival pantry stocking.
With its combination of privacy, comfortable shared spaces, and optional personalized services, The Marley is a compelling choice for friends’ getaways and group retreats. The entire property is reserved for one group at a time, creating a more secluded experience than a conventional hotel stay.
Hotel El Cid by AvantStay
A Cal-Boho bungalow retreat for private group stays
Hotel El Cid offers a relaxed, California-inspired setting for groups who want to experience Palm Springs together. The adults-only property features five bungalow-style accommodations within enclosed grounds, creating an intimate retreat centered on outdoor living and shared experiences.
The property’s communal spaces include a large swimming pool, cabanas, a fire pit, an outdoor dining tent, a barbecue area, and an outdoor shower. Each bungalow includes a kitchenette and refrigerator, while a fully equipped communal kitchen gives groups room to prepare meals and gather around the table.

Available exclusively as a private group buyout, Hotel El Cid is particularly suited to friends’ trips, reunions, retreats, and celebrations where having the entire property to yourselves is part of the appeal.
The Monkey Tree Hotel by AvantStay
A historic midcentury modern hideaway
The Monkey Tree Hotel brings together Palm Springs’ architectural heritage, colorful retro style, and relaxed desert living. Originally built in 1960, the property has a distinctive history and a design character that reflects the enduring appeal of midcentury modern architecture.
The hotel's architectural history is especially notable. Although the property was long attributed to celebrated architect Albert Frey, subsequent historical research identified Colleen Carol Crist as its designer. Crist was among the relatively few women working in architecture during Palm Springs’ midcentury era and also collaborated with prominent local architects William Cody and E. Stewart Williams.
Today, the hotel’s colorful interiors and vintage-inspired details complement contemporary comforts. Its outdoor spaces are equally appealing, with a palm-lined pool, comfortable loungers, a fire pit, and views of the San Jacinto Mountains.
Guest accommodations feature retro-inspired furnishings and modern bathrooms, with select suites offering kitchenettes and private patios. The property’s distinctive personality makes it a natural choice for architecture enthusiasts, design lovers, couples, and groups looking for a memorable Palm Springs stay.
Mahala Hotel by AvantStay
A design-forward boutique retreat at the gateway to the Uptown Design District
Mahala Hotel by AvantStay offers a distinctive boutique stay. The 14-room property takes its name from an old word for neighborhood, reflecting its intimate scale and the sense of community created by its shared outdoor spaces.
Guest rooms gather around a sun-soaked courtyard with a swimming pool, spa, and lounge seating, while cactus gardens and views of the San Jacinto Mountains reinforce the hotel's desert setting. A fire pit provides a welcoming gathering spot as the sun sets and the evening air cools.
Barcelona-based Colorola Studios designed the interiors, custom furnishings, and evolving supergraphics, giving the property a distinctive visual identity. No two rooms feel alike, and accommodations include king and queen options, plus a wheelchair-accessible queen room with a roll-in shower.
Room amenities include spacious waterfall showers, large 4K televisions with direct HDMI input, Keurig coffee makers, in-room safes, ice buckets, and refrigerators stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks. Each room includes one uncovered parking space.
Mahala also accommodates full-property buyouts for weddings and retreats, with concierge services available to arrange experiences such as private chefs, massages, and transportation.
