The Skylark: A Midcentury Classic Hotel, Reimagined

The Skylark, a charming hotel of Palm Springs midcentury heyday, invites you to experience a fresh take on an iconic 1950s landmark.

Outside, The Skylark’s pool sparkles under the desert sun, with lush courtyards and intimate seating areas that offer perfect spots to unwind or gather with friends. Whether you’re in town for a relaxing weekend, a special celebration, or even a wedding, this boutique hotel provides an ideal setting.

Options are available for partial or full-property buyouts for that private and personalized experience, with special group rates.

The Skylark Name

George Simon originally built Skylark, which continues to hold its original name. George was a prominent music producer who worked with a variety of artists, including Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Atkins, the Pointer Sisters, and Woody Herman. He told the Desert Sun on March 16, 1956, that the name Skylark is from one of his songs, which was a big hit.
