Our favourite rooms
Easy access to the pool comes, predictably, from the Poolside Rooms, so this is the option for you if you want to be first to dive in at dawn. Those planning on sticking around for longer should book the Cabin, which has its own kitchenette for cooking up your farmers’-market finds. The rooms nearer to the main entrance have slightly more street noise than the others – we’re not talking sirens and speeding, but they’re not as pin-drop silent as the rest of the retreat. And if you’ve ever wanted to bathe in a horse-trough, ask for a room with a tub: around here, that means an erstwhile equine watering hole made out of super-deep steel.
Poolside
There’s a heated outdoor pool in the middle of the property, with a hot tub at the end.
Spa
The hotel has an open-air massage tent with two treatment areas, for massages with a side helping of birdsong, burning sage and barking dogs. If that sounds a little noisy, move things in-room for an extra $20.
Packing tips
Vintage threads to match the impeccably mid-century surrounds, visors and baseball hats for withstanding the desert heat, and iPads if you really can’t bear to forgo TV.
Also
In case it’s not immediately obvious, the lobby (and check-in area) is in the central barn, past the pool as you come in from the carpark. There are no televisions or phones in the guestrooms.
Pet‐friendly
Dogs can come along for $100 a booking; this will get you dog bowls, toys and clean-up bags. See more pet-friendly hotels in Palm Springs.
Children
