Fodor's Expert Review Orbit In Hotel

562 W. Arenas Rd., Palm Springs, California, 92262, USA

The exterior architecture—nearly flat roofs, wide overhangs, glass everywhere—of this hip, adults-only, Herbert Burns–designed inn on a quiet street dates from its 1955 opening, and the period feel continues inside, where rooms, some with kitchenettes, all have patios and are appointed with mid-mod furnishings by Charles and Ray Eames, Marcel Breuer, and other contemporaries. Vintage LPs and in-room record players add to the throwback ambiance. Retro cruiser bikes, books, games, and videos are available for guest use.
