Why We Like It

The Spring is a lovely and intimate location designed specifically with relaxation in mind. For folks needing to check out for a little while, or new parents who desperately need rejuvenation and sleep, it’s a wonderful little getaway.

Fodor's Expert Review

The Spring, situated in the “Spa Zone” of Desert Hot Springs, is a mini-resort centered around a natural mineral spring where guests can soak in three separate pools of healing waters. With only 13 rooms, The Spring offers a semi-private oasis that’s conveniently located to Palm Springs and nearby desert hiking destinations.
