This hotel, opened in 2017, is literally tops in town. Palm Springs' tallest building (seven stories, but still...) offers unparalleled views of the mountains and valley from upper floors and the rooftop pool deck has a swinging bar scene. Spacious rooms are more clean, sleek international contemporary than Mid-Century Modern, fitted out with Frette bathrobes, yoga mats and plush-toy camels.
The location is also fabulous; at the heart of Palm Springs' easily walkable downtown with free loaner bikes and a shuttle bus to get you elsewhere.
