Holiday House Palm Springs

This was an ideal location with incredible staff and service. We were made to feel welcome, valued, and special. We raved about the view from our room, the poolside bliss, the cabanas, the amazing breakfast, the lovely soaking tub, great snacks and drinks. We were completely relaxed amongst our busy schedules and felt welcome were just transported. I highly highly recommend this hotel and any of the other locations affiliated with them. They do not phone it in. It's 100!
Thank u again

Lovely boutique hotel with great staff and chic rooms. This is our go to place to stay in Palm Springs.

This is a special place for us - truly an Oasis!! We come out to Palm Springs frequently but Memorial Weekend is a tradition that we all love. We have stayed at Holiday House many times before. This was definitely one of the best times. The staff were attentive and friendly, always ready to help with a smile and quick to resolve any request. Felipe, the new manager, completely elevated the experience and made the entire stay feel warm, hospitable, and genuinely special — you can tell he really cares about the guest experience. Juan and Jason were also incredible and went above and beyond all weekend. The personal touches the three gentlemen provided really made us all feel welcomed and like we were at home! The fun treats throughout the day were not just refreshing but a great touch!!

The Memorial Weekend BBQ was awesome — great food, lively atmosphere, and well organized, making the holiday feel extra memorable. The location is excellent, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Clean, comfortable rooms and attentive service. Highly recommended, dog friendly, and Adults Only!!!

Everyone and everything at Holiday House was excellent. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and decorated with such panache. It was lovely to lounge by the pool with the delicious food and wonderful service. The Pantry was absolutely excellent. We ate there twice, it was so good. Located central to downtown Palm Springs, you could walk to most anything you’d want to see. But mostly, I want to talk about Juan, Filipe, and the whole team. I often travel with my 90 year old mom, and for some reason it seems that people put us at the crummiest table in an empty restaurant or a noisy hotel room. Holiday House was the opposite. They took such sweet care of my mom. Laughing with her, and really sparkling her days. They were warm, friendly, and always had a fun idea. They made a special trip so much more special.

We just stayed at Holiday House again for our annual Memorial Day weekend friends trip to Palm Springs, and somehow this stay was our best one yet. We’ve stayed here many times over the years and it continues to be one of our absolute favorite hotels in Palm Springs. The location is perfect, the food is consistently amazing, and the entire property has that effortlessly cool, laid-back Palm Springs vibe that people try to recreate but rarely pull off this well.
The hotel itself is intimate with only 24 rooms, which makes it feel peaceful, personal, and never overcrowded. We love all the thoughtful touches . The ice cream cart, the honest bar, the beautiful green outdoor spaces, the complimentary breakfast every morning in the lobby, and the fact that it’s dog friendly. And honestly? No TVs in the rooms is part of the charm. It forces you to actually unplug, relax, and enjoy where you are.
The biggest difference this trip was the new management. Felipe, the new manager, completely elevated the experience and made the entire stay feel warm, hospitable, and genuinely special. You can tell he really cares about the guest experience. Juan and Jason were also incredible and went above and beyond all weekend. The service across the board was flawless.
One of the highlights was the Memorial Day BBQ they organized for guests. Such a thoughtful touch that made the weekend feel even more fun and communal. And I’m still thinking about the corn on the cob with chimichurri...legitimately next level. They were also bringing around fresh fruit trays by the pool during the day, which was such a nice extra touch in the heat.
Holiday House somehow manages to feel both stylish and completely unpretentious at the same time, which is rare. New management is absolutely killing it, and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

I’m delighted to write this review. Once again, Holiday House exceeds our expectations. Walking into the reception area is like entering a magical retreat. The immediate acknowledgment of the staff is warm and inviting. The decor is gorgeous, charming, inviting and comfortable. Our room was upgraded thanks to the lovely Jason and we were enchanted with the location. Seriously, the beds here have some mystical power to make your sleep sound and refreshing. Everything you could need is there. The grounds are immaculate and as a retired hotel manager, I’m beyond impressed with the staff being so attentive. We felt like family being here. Food is outstanding and pool side service makes the stay even better. The ice cream cart-such a whimsical treat and the various sitting areas are both intimate and comfortable. The management team here is top notch and we are already looking forward to our next stay.

Holiday House was a treat. Lots of attention to detail, relaxing grounds and rooms, and convenient location. Would definitely recommend, and would stay there again if I was in the area.

Alyx made my experience better than I could have ever expected!! LOVED HER🥰

This is one of my favorite hotels. The staff is efficient and friendly, rooms are ample and well appointed. Amenities including pool is off the charts.

The basics of hospitality are attentiveness, positive (or at least neutral energy) guest experience, anticipating needs. None of these were met at even a low level. It felt like the woman running the establishment was pissed off that guests were staying at her hotel. She wasn’t pleasant to speak with, gave off an unnecessary attitude with just ebony every question asked (which included a tooth suck eye role and heavy exhale). There was also no ownership if something felt off. I witnessed her speak to myself and other guests as if we did something wrong. The reality is, if your guest has an issue your job is to listen, understand and respond in a way that makes them feel supported, whether you agree with it or not. Low water isn’t something to fuss about, your wait staff not being attentive and surveying the pool is not a guests fault. You not having a clear instruction on your EV policy is not a guests fault and if both spots are taken by non EV vehicles, it probably makes sense to sort that for the guests who ARE driving EV. They were just honestly lazy. Please at least greet people with a smile, get rid of the attitude, anticipate stuff a little better and take care of your bikes.

My trip at HH was great. I really enjoy my room . The location of the property puts you close to everything downtown. The staff was great. Very helpful. Very kind. The breakfast was great. Really my only con would be the bed and pillows were too soft but that is subjective. This is a great place to stay. I’ll be back.

Girls trip with high school friend. Amazing location. Not greeted in a warm and welcome fashion. Food was good. Again, service was more like an irritation to staff. Same staff serving food and front desk.

Every year my wife and I return and wonder if the service and beauty of this hotel will drop off. Never does. Only gets better and better. Quiet. Great food. Wonderful rooms and service.

I’m writing this review as I think it’s very important people have a full understanding of what to expect. I tried to submit a trip advisor review through the hotels feedback platform but I suspect since it was not a positive review, they have chosen not to post it. I went for a birthday trip hoping to relax and feel restored and the hotel just did not meet expectations especially at 400+ per night. We booked a best room and there were a few issues. Our patio furniture was broken and the cushions were old and uncomfortable and our water never got hot in the shower. The pool area is nice but all 3 days we were there the chairs had pistachio shells underneath, indicating that they do not sweep it regularly. They could not keep towels stocked at the pool despite us regularly asking for them. The cushions on the loungers felt old and dirty. The pool constantly had bugs in it and there were cockroaches poolside and in the pool on our last day. The staff is nice but does not engage with guests. They do not come around to take food/drink orders and the one time they walked around with fruit they completely ignored us. The lunch offerings were good but the breakfast was not good at all. The bagels were grocery store quality at best and the offerings just weren’t appetizing which was annoying because they insisted we pay a resort fee to include breakfast. We ended up eating out for breakfast 2/3 days we were there. Overall we were expecting a lot more based on previous reviews and we were left disappointed.

We chose this highly rated hotel expecting it to be the highlight of our three-night stay -- and it wasn’t. Check-in was warm, and we appreciated getting into our room about 90 minutes early. The property itself is well kept and has the boutique Palm Springs vibe you’d expect. Our room was clean and housekeeping was excellent. Unfortunately, a few key issues brought down the experience. One morning at breakfast, the bagels were covered in mold -- we realized it halfway through eating them. We flagged it to staff and received only a quick “sorry,” with no follow-up. At the pool, towels weren’t consistently restocked, and we had to ask staff to bring more out multiple times. The pool itself wasn’t well maintained -- one morning it was covered in bugs and debris, and we ended up trying to clean it ourselves just to use it. We also had a strange issue with room keys—only one was available, and we were told to come back the next day for a second. At a property charging a $40/day resort fee, these issues are unacceptable and hard to overlook.

This is mine and my wife's favorite Palm Springs spot - we've done two special occasion trips here and they never disappoint! The rooms are so fun, have plenty of space, and the clientele is upscale and not pretentious. And you CANNOT beat the location! We'll be back!

We had a mixed experience at Holiday House. The property itself is beautiful, and we really enjoyed the location, amenities, and overall atmosphere. All other staff we interacted with were warm and pleasant.
Unfortunately, our arrival experience was very disappointing. After a full day of travel, I arrived around noon simply to confirm check-in, as the reservation was under my husband’s name and he was not scheduled to arrive until midnight. When I explained the situation, I was told by the General Manager, Rosemary, that she “legally” could not check me in. While I understood the policy, the interaction was dismissive and unhelpful. There was no effort to problem-solve or offer guidance, and I was left unsure how I would access the room that evening.
The situation was eventually resolved by contacting Expedia to add my name to the reservation. When I returned later, I was able to check in smoothly, which highlighted that the situation could have been handled very differently from the start.
While we did enjoy the property overall, this experience created unnecessary stress and made us genuinely unsure about returning.

The service was exceptional - genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. You can really feel the care the team puts into creating a great experience. The design is impeccable, with beautiful blue accents that add a fresh, approachable touch to a modern aesthetic. Everything felt thoughtfully curated, making it both stylish and comfortable. A truly standout experience all around.

This is a very cute boutique hotel near all the city center action in Palm Springs. I was here for a conference and the conference center is less than a half mile walk from the Holiday House. The staff and amenities are great. I would highly recommend for you next trip to PS.

A long on-line search for a Palm Springs hotel accessible without bringing a car, with safety features like grab bars in the shower on request, and clean and spacious rooms was rewarded by finding Holiday House. From a welcoming, personally-sized lobby to the artistic
blue-and-white decor in our comfortable room, it exceeded our expectations. Finally, it would be hard to beat the walkable location with the town center on one side and mountains on the other. An excellent four-day getaway near Joshua Tree National Park!
