Tucked into the heart of downtown Palm Springs, Avalon Hotel & Bungalows offers a more secluded take on the desert escape. Set across four lushly landscaped acres, the historic property features 60 Spanish-style guest rooms & suites, and 12 private villas that blend residential comfort with the easy glamour of old Hollywood. Guests can spend the day moving between three distinctive pools, quiet garden pathways, and shaded cabanas before settling in around the fire pits as the sun drops behind the San Jacinto Mountains. Steps from the city’s design shops, galleries, and restaurants, Avalon balances the energy of Palm Springs with a sense of calm that feels entirely its own.
