Where To Stay In Palm Springs:

The Wesley

The Wesley is different from other hotels. It is something in between a boutique hotel and an Airbnb apartment.

At The Wesley, you are not staying in a room, but instead, you get your own flat. I stayed in Flat #1 which is an adorable studio packed with a living area, kitchen, bar, and a spacious patio equipped with a grill.

Outside your flat, there is a common area with cabanas, seating spaces, and a cool pool full of quirky inflatables! They are perfect for that Instagram shot. I spent half of my stay poolside or trying to get on the floaties, and the other half hanging out in my flat. The Wesley made me feel like I was home, so much so that I didn’t want to leave! I will definitely be back whenever I need a little desert getaway 🙂

Hyatt Regency Indian Wells

If you’re looking for a luxurious, relaxing getaway, the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort and Spa is your perfect destination. With stunning mountain views, elegant accommodations, and delicious dining options, you’ll feel like royalty during your stay.

This Hyatt Regency is located in the town of Indian Wells, which is about 25 minutes from Downtown Palm Springs. It’s close enough to drive to the action, but we honestly didn’t leave. Once you check into the Hyatt resort you’ll only want to relax – spending your days poolside, sipping on chilled wine, and enjoying some R&R time at the Aqua Serena Spa.

There is a gorgeous terrace by the breakfast area with amazing mountain views.

The Hyatt Regency has an insane pool area with a variety of pools to choose from. Big ones, small ones, cold ones, hot ones, there’s a pool for everyone!
