Best Hotels in Downtown Palm Springs, Palm Springs

Palm Springs visitors enjoy staying at the Hyatt Palm Springs because of its friendly, efficient staff and downtown location. The spacious, suite accommodations cater to larger groups, but the lackluster decor earned a few disapproving remarks from visitors. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs and iHome docking stations, as well as coffee makers and wireless internet access. Some also feature private balconies. If you're not a fan of this Hyatt's room decor, spend your days by the pool, at the fitness center or on one of the nearby golf courses. Or grab a bite to eat at the hotel's SHARE Small Plate Bistro or HooDoo Patio Restaurant & Bar. This hotel participates in Hyatt's loyalty program, meaning members will earn rewards for their stays.

Situated on East Tahquitz Canyon Way in downtown Palm Springs, California, the Hilton Palm Springs gives you prime access to the Palm Springs Art Museum, the Palm Springs Convention Center, a casino and an array of shops and restaurants. But there's plenty to do on-site, too. If you desire a quintessential Palm Springs vacation, relax by the outdoor pool or treat yourself to a Palm Springs-inspired treatment (think: desert stone massages) at the spa. You can also break a sweat in the hotel's fitness center, mingle with friends in Harvey's Lounge or savor casual American dishes at one of two restaurants. Previous visitors raved about the property's spa treatments, but some said the gym and the restaurant's breakfasts were nothing special. Most, however, were impressed with the hotel's tidy and spacious accommodations. Each has a neutral color palette with blue patterned carpets and colorful artwork, plus amenities like Hilton's signature beds, desks with ergonomic chairs, flat-screen TVs and patios or balconies. According to several past guests, room rates are a bit high when you factor in the property's cons, but if you're a Hilton Honors member, you can use rewards points to pay for your room.

If you're in search of charming accommodations within the heart of downtown Palm Springs, consider staying at the Avalon Hotel Palm Springs. This boutique property is within 5 miles of several popular local attractions, including the Palm Springs Art Museum, Moorten Botanical Garden and the Palm Springs Air Museum. According to recent visitors, the property's three outdoor pools, Chi Chi restaurant and Estrella spa consistently wow guests. To avoid a less-than-stellar view of the parking lot, consider upgrading to room where you can enjoy views of the grounds from your balcony or patio in addition to standard amenities like terry bathrobes, Davines bath products and minibars. And although some travelers may find the Avalon Hotel Palm Springs' nightly room rates to be a bit high, the hotel regularly offers booking specials to help cut costs.

This Hard Rock Hotel outpost is turning up the volume on Palm Springs hospitality. Like its sister hotels, the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs offers guests rock star treatment, allowing them to borrow Fender guitars, mix their own music and chill in the VIP areas of the on-site bar. The hotel's 163 guest rooms are dressed in purple and cream hues and vibrant patterns, and come with flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffee makers, iHome radios, and, in some cases, terraces or balconies. But visitors shouldn't plan on spending too much time in their rooms: The Hard Rock Hotel boasts a trendy pool area (where parties are frequently held) and the more relaxing Rock Spa, which offers a long list of massages and skin treatments. The property's in-house eatery, The Kitchen, is a highlight for many previous guests, who love the tasty comfort food and small plates. Just note: Despite their glowing reviews of the property amenities and appearance, some guests warn that there are still a few customer service glitches to work out.
