Palm Springs is feeling refreshed. To know Palm Springs is to love it. Whether you come for the sun, the spas or the style, there's an undeniable lure to this oasis of desert modern in the Coachella Valley. Now there's new place to lay your head while soaking it all up. The Saguaro opens in February 2012, bringing with it a new sense of design, food and comfort. If you ever needed another reason to escape here, you have one now. Guestrooms and Suites Bright. Light. Colorful. The rooms at the Saguaro immerse you in the desert resort experience that is Palm Springs. Choose your view, mountain, garden courtyard with pool, or city lights. Nearly every room has a balcony or patio and is accented inside and out by the brilliant color of a native Mojave wildflower, creating a visual spectrum of light throughout the grounds. No one perspective is the same. Services and Amenities There are certain standards by which a visit to Palm Springs is judged. Such as pool time and the scenery that goes with it, the quality of architecture and design, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to enjoy the desert landscape and air, preferably with cocktail in hand. By all accounts, the Saguaro has you more than covered.
The hotel charges an $18 per night resort fee to all guests which is collected at check-out. The resort fee includes self parking, WiFi (basic), guest transportation (within 5 miles), daily yoga, and pool access.

Hotel Map
- Area served
- Palm Springs.
- Nearby airports
- Palm Springs International Airport (PSP).
- Area description
- A touch of old Hollywood glamor. Perhaps the best golf and spas in the west. Groundbreaking mid-century modern architecture. A party circuit unrivaled for its inclusiveness. There is only one Palm Springs, that's for sure. The Saguaro puts you right in the middle of it, just off famed Palm Canyon Drive a mile from downtown. Yet, in true Palm Springs fashion, a stay here is also about privacy and relaxation. Palm Springs was initially popular with visitors for the health effects of its dry heat and clean air. The weather is still a huge draw, as are the hiking trails, golf courses, pool scenes that go with it. There is fantastic antique shopping, especially from the mid-century era, due to the area's desert modern architecture that sprouted in the 1940s.
Dining
- El Jefe
- At The Saguaro, El Jefe's culinary inspiration will be the wonderfully diverse street food of Mexico. Guests can enjoy an extensive list of over 100 tequilas and mescals, available by the glass and also in flights for sampling. El Jefe's design will bring the classic Western frontier bar so ubiquitous in many of our beloved vintage movies into the modern era featuring a muted color palette and reclaimed, rustic materials. A variety of motorcycle paraphernalia evocative of the Southwest's legendary roving bands of bikers, Day of the Dead artwork, a back-lit custom menu board and a tequila display will be among the focal points of the space. Elements will also feature an outdoor drink rail, accessed through saloon-style swinging doors, for all-weather cocktails and snacks.
- Chef Jose Garces
- He's one of the country's most talented young chefs, winner of the Food Network's Iron Chef America and a James Beard award. His food draws crowds in Philly, Chi-Town, Scottsdale, and now Palm Springs.
- Tinto Restaurant
- Tinto (red wine in Spanish) is a wine bar and restaurant from Iron Chef Jose Garces inspired by the culinary-renowned Basque region of Northern Spain and Southern France. At Tinto, Garces presents his modern approach to traditional pintxos (Peen-chos), or Basque tapas, and a deep selection of area's premier wines and native cocktails.
Meeting facilities
- Meeting Info
- In the 1920s, Hollywood stars began decamping to Palm Springs to relax, party and rejuvenate. You can imagine more than a few screenplays were pitched around the pool. Today Palm Springs is a destination for meetings and events more than ever, seducing planners with 350 days of sunshine a year and abundant golf, shopping and desert curiosities.

PERFECTLY HOT
This is a great place to cool off in the hot CA sun. The pool is very nice, plenty of seating and umbrellas for all. Excellent pool side service, two really good restaurants on site. The rooms are large, clean and come with private patios.

Low key party spot
My only complaint was that there was no HGTV, a personal favorite to watch whenever I'm staying at a hotel. But otherwise, this place was fantastic. A nice mix of older and younger guests. Great music and drinks by the pool. Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the decor can't be beat. Everything very comfortable and easy. Especially appreciated the free shuttle into town.

Great Place to stay
Definitely a fun hotel - the pool area and free yoga are great. The poolside food was not great...it took forever to arrive and wasn't the best. Apart from that no complaints - the decor and vibe are amazing! Will definitely return with my dog now that i know its pet friendly

Clean, friendly, cute!
Well renovated and well run. Very clean, everything up to standard, with thoughtful details (towels were super soft, linens were high thread count, really good water pressure in the shower, thick walls so you don't hear your neighbor, iPhone dock/charger on the clock, etc.). Our room was a little on the small side, though.

Fun for family
Went for a three day family get-away and had a great time. Yes, it could be loud and busy but the sliding glass door on the balcony kept most late night pool noise out. Room was very clean and yes, colorful. We loved the ping pong table and poolside food and drink. Pet friendly and people friendly!

Great Weekend Getaway Spot
I stayed a weekend here with 3 girlfriends and we had an amazing time. We didn't get around to daily yoga or riding the rental bikes around in the heat but thought these were just a few of the awesome things this hotel has to offer. We spent most of our time at the pool for the music (super relaxing and fun pool party), sun (loved the pool-side cushions in lieu of clunky chairs) and food/drink (great selections from both of the hotel restaurants' menus). Our Saturday morning service at the pool was fine - quick delivery of our bloody mary's and guacamole - but the cocktails were basically SAUCE and were not good at all. As the day went on the and the pool got more crowded, service got extremely slow. When we asked our server to close out our tab and charge it to our room, we waited 25 minutes for her to return and ended up just leaving the pool. Our server was great though, just busy, and ended up coming to find us in our room to have us sign off on the bill. Another issue I can't help but point out was a cockroach running around in our bathroom - a huge one. Aside from that, our room and the entire hotel were clean and very comfortable. I usually would not let the appearance of a cockroach slide but really everything else about our experience here was great. Housekeeping had no problem providing us with the few extra towels we requested, which is refreshing considering I've had some annoying experiences at hotels who make it clear they don't really want to let you have more towels and/or take forever to do so. We decided to order breakfast on Sunday while we were at the pool. A simple order of 2 breakfast burritos took almost an hour, but every time we asked our server to check on this for us she was very patient and friendly. She ended up comping us our order and the burritos were great. We had a few imperfect moments but the staff were always knowledgeable, friendly and quick to remedy the situation. The front desk staff were also great - very friendly, quick and attentive. Loved the complimentary Perrier upon check-out, too.
