Finding a Room in Palm Springs
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Palm Springs, California.
Surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges, Palm Springs, California is an oasis in the Coachella Valley desert that offers a wide array of outdoor recreational activities, including golf, hiking, climbing and horseback riding, as well as luxurious health spas, poolside retreats, art galleries, boutique shopping, gourmet restaurants, and festive nightlife. Its dry, sunny climate, and several international film festivals and business conventions attract visitors year round, and is accessible by car from Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as the Palm Springs International Airport.
Most hotels in Palm Springs are located along Palm Canyon Drive, an L-shaped road running north to south and curving eastward to become California Business Route 111. There are also more family-friendly hotels in the nearby cities of Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells, both of which are a short drive from downtown Palm Springs.
DOWNTOWN
The highest concentration of mid-range priced Palm Springs hotels can be found downtown on Palm Canyon Drive, within walking distance of the district’s shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. Most hotels in the area feature tennis courts and swimming pools and some hotels, like the Parker Palm Springs, offer separate pools for adults and families. Art lovers will enjoy being close to the Palm Springs Art Museum and VillageFest, an open market held each Thursday that features arts, crafts, fresh produce and live entertainment. Families staying in the are may enjoy visiting the Palm Springs Skate Park and Swim Center, which is located two blocks east of downtown.
UPTOWN
Uptown Palms Springs features numerous high-end hotels, restaurants, and boutiques. These posh locations offer luxurious amenities and spa treatments, as well as convenient access to popular tourist attractions in the district, such as the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the world’s largest single-span, rotating cable car that carries riders 2.5 mi (4 km) and more than 8,000 ft (2,438 m) up San Jacinto Mountain to capture the best views of the valley.
SOUTH PALM SPRINGS
Business travelers will find refuge from the downtown’s excitement on the south side of the city. Business travelers visiting the Palm Springs Convention Center flock to tranquil hotels like the Desert Riviera Hotel, where limousine rides are available into town and the relaxed atmosphere facilitates productive working sessions. Families staying on the south side are close to Knott’s Soak City, a large water park, and a short drive south into nearby Palm Desert is the 1,200-acre (486-ha) Living Desert Wildlife and Botanical Park, where animals and desert flora abound.
RANCHO MIRAGE/INDIAN WELLS

Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage on Bob Hope Drive features “Splashtopia,” a children’s waterslide pool and water-play zone, and Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Indian Wells offers “Camp Oasis,” a kids’ educational program that includes art, cooking, and desert wildlife exposure events. The Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert in Cathedral City is also a short drive away. When the sun sets, adults seeking Las Vegas-style excitement head to the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa, a Cahuilla Indian-owned casino hotel in Rancho Mirage.
