The Colony Palms

Iconic Hollywood history in the heart of Palm Springs! First established in 1936, Colony Palms Hotel is a luxury, boutique property located one block off the city’s main design district, just steps from shopping, dining and nightlife. Featuring 57 elegant guest rooms tucked among luscious gardens, some of the hotel’s rooms pay homage to its colorful past, including the “Winner’s Circle Suite” in honor of legendary racehorse Seabiscuit (whose owner previously owned the hotel) and the the “Palme D’Or Suite” which was once the private residence of Frank Sinatra.

The hotel is home to “Colony Club Restaurant”, a tip of the hat to reputed mobster Al Wetherimer, another previous owner who was a member of the infamous Purple Gang. Today, Colony Club serves creative libations and seasonally-inspired American cuisine in a chic, poolside setting. A variety of healing massages and customized facials can be enjoyed at the hotel’s on-site spa. The signature saltwater pool is the centerpiece of the Colony Palms Hotel, around which guests gather in luxe cabanas and lounge on daybeds — the ultimate Palm Springs experience.
