A healing & spiritual retreat
Pros:

Juan Barrera at the front desk truly made my stay so much more healing than I’d ever imagined. I lost my husband a few months ago and his birthday was June 26th & our 1 yr anniversary was June 27th. I wanted to honor him & us at this beautiful hotel & spread some of his ashes on San Jacinto mountain, by way of the tram. I was crying and very emotional upon checking in. He was so very helpful & emotionally supportive. He decided to upgrade my room to a bungalow suite & I never would have been able to do that on my own. The experience of how beautiful the bungalow is, the space & everything about my stay helped my journey in more ways than I can adequately describe. It was spiritually healing. A big huge “Thank you” to Juan!! He’s amazing & I will be back!"

The front desk guy, Cody or Chris, was so very kind and helpful! Loved the poolside service, amount of pools, amount of people at the pools (not busy), and the servers were so friendly! The rental board games were such a cute touch!

Cute boutique hotel with lots of charm
Pros:

Everyone was great. The drinks were great. The property was beautiful and I felt very relaxed. There were a few different pools, sauna, hot tub, etc. the restaurant was small and quaint and the drinks were very good. It was definitely a boutique hotel experience which I prefer over the larger more crowded Palm Springs resorts.

Private and peaceful hotel in Palm Springs
Pros:

This hotel is set right in front of the mountains in Palm Springs and is very private but walking distance to everything needed. We arrived late at night and was greeted by Lyn at the front desk who warmly welcomed us and went above and beyond to make sure we got to our room quick and easy. She was incredibly helpful over the few days we were there. The hotel is lucky to have someone like her!
The breakfast and lunch chichi’s was good and make sure to go next door to Melvyn’s. It’s a steakhouse with lots of history and the bartender Sue was a pleasure to talk with. The pools and spa are very relaxing and well maintained. Rooms are a bit dated but clean and comfortable. We are looking forward to staying again. Thank you!

My Go-to Hotel in Palm Springs!
Pros:

The Avalon has been my go-to hotel in Palm Springs for over 20 years. The rooms are comfortable, the pool is heaven, and the location is hard to beat. But the real reason I keep coming back is the staff, who always go the extra mile to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. There are plenty of great places to stay in Palm Springs, yet I keep going back to The Avalon year after year. That says a lot.

Exceptional Service and people!
Pros:

We had an amazing weekend friends getaway here! With breathtaking mountain views, the bungalows were warm and inviting with a modern comfort. The property was exceptionally clean, peaceful, and well maintained, creating a truly relaxing peaceful atmosphere. The front desks hosts were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. I misplaced my ring and they were so kind and understanding and went above and beyond to help me with my situation and assured me they would do everything to assist me , the front desk approached my predicament with professionalism and instantly calmed my panic! Give ‘em all a raise! I will be back.

Exceptional Staff and Renewed Magic at Avalon
Pros:

We’ve been loyal guests at the Avalon (formerly Viceroy) for over 20 years, and this most recent trip truly stood out. The property still has that special magic and relaxing vibe that Brad and his wife originally brought to it at the beginning — and it’s only getting better.
Elsa, our housekeeper, is simply amazing! She’s friendly, funny, thorough, and incredibly attentive to every need. Every time we check in, she’s been our housekeeper, and she always greets us with her warm smile and wonderful laughter that immediately brightens our stay. Our room is always impeccably clean thanks to her care and kindness.
At the front desk, Juan from operations management is always friendly, helpful, and readily available to assist with anything we need. Jasmine and Brian have been at the hotel for many years and continue to greet every guest with genuine smiles and cheer — they’re true pillars of the property.
We’ve also noticed wonderful changes under the new GM, Robert. The team he has assembled is outstanding, and the small but impactful upgrades really make a difference: beautiful new plants in pots near the room entrances and around the property, plus refreshed pool furniture. These touches enhance the already relaxing atmosphere.
Robert is one of a kind — his influence and management style are hands-down amazing, and it shows throughout the entire staff and property. I’d happily “steal” him for my own company if I could! I truly hope he sticks around for a long time because he’s a huge asset.
To the entire team: keep doing exactly what you’re doing — investing in your people and the property. It works beautifully and keeps the Avalon feeling special after all these years. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend.

Home away from Home
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at Avalon Palm Springs. What really made the experience stand out was the hospitality from the team. Grace and Lynn at the front desk were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and genuinely made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Brian at Chi Chi was equally outstanding. Attentive and a pleasure to interact with throughout our stay.

The property itself is beautiful, with charming grounds, well-appointed accommodations, and a relaxing atmosphere. Combined with the exceptional service, it made for a memorable visit. We look forward to returning very soon!!

Top notch Palm Springs experience
Pros:

This property is absolutely amazing! Old school, Palm Springs, charm, high-end amenities, beautiful rooms, great pools, and walking distance to everything downtown. James, works at the front desk there, provided the most welcoming check-in experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. Very knowledgeable about the local area and explained all the amenities the hotel had to offer. I would definitely recommend this to anybody going to the Palm Springs area!
