Palm Mountain Resort and Spa

Midway between Los Angeles and San Diego and just steps away from the famed Palm Canyon Drive lined with upscale boutiques, quaint shops, cafés, restaurants, nightclubs and casinos, the downtown location of the Palm Mountain Resort and Spa offers the perfect base for exploring California's most renowned desert resort.

Indeed, the hotel is only one block from the famous Plaza Theater, home to the Fabulous Follies and a large number of Palm Springs' top bars and restaurants. The hotel's palm-tree-lined pool terrace is an inviting spot in which to unwind and soak up the sun and for the ultimate in relaxation, the resort also offers a day spa.

Many of the rooms feature a private patio or balcony, but all afford striking views over the San Jacinto Mountains, gardens or swimming pool and amenities include cable TV, fridge, microwave, coffee maker and ceiling fans.
