Thompson Palm Springs, a hidden jewel in the Sonoran Desert, is an ultra-chic new hotel in the heart of downtown. Known for its iconic mid-century modern aesthetic, the hotel combines a sleek, contemporary edge with an Old Hollywood vacation feel. From its eye-catching architecture to its art collection, Thompson Palm Springs offers unmatched vibes.
The hotel’s unique elevated structure enhances its sense of luxury, setting it apart from other properties in the area. With two stylish bars, a stunning pool deck, a cozy lounge, and an upscale restaurant, guests can enjoy breathtaking views of downtown Palm Springs framed by the majestic San Jacinto Mountains. Scattered throughout the resort, inviting seating areas and fire pits create the perfect ambiance for a bachelorette brunch or a wedding welcome party.
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Lola Rose Grand Mezze serves up cuisine worthy of the Michelin Guide. Inspired by Mediterranean flavors, the menu boasts bold, shareable dishes, including veggie-forward plates and gluten-free options. The dining space itself is a work of art, blending a sleek lounge-style interior with stunning pieces by local artists.
If you’re planning a celebration, the ultra-modern ballrooms and spaces are ready for your Big Day. The San Jacinto Ballroom is ideal for grand receptions, while the intimate Las Palmas Studio is great for smaller gatherings. The foyer is not to be missed, showing off floor-to-ceiling windows and large-scale artwork. The outdoor spaces within the property make great spots to say “I do” under the desert sky.
While the hotel is absolutely family (and pup) friendly, Thompson Palm Springs also plans to cater to guests seeking a more exclusive experience. This year, the hotel will unveil its new Adults-Only Upper Stories section—featuring 42 ultra-luxe private rooms, five sprawling suites, and an adults-only pool for the ultimate retreat.
