TripAdvisor reviewers are the best! We were so happy that previous guests steered us to the Hotel Del Marcos when we made a last-minute trip to Palm Springs. Every detail of this hotel is well thought out and artfully decorated in the midcentury modern style. It's exactly what I envisioned and hoped for in Palm Springs. (We spent the first night in a chain hotel and decided to move somewhere more flavorful and indigenous to the area.) Because we booked last-minute, we had to change rooms after the first night. Both rooms were spacious and comfortable, with ample room to store and set out our things. One had a full kitchen and the other had a microwave, mini-fridge and coffee maker. The beds were plush and comfortable, although I would have liked firmer pillows than down, but that's just a personal preference. As a visual person, I loved the art and pops of color, and I couldn't stop taking photos of the furniture in the common spaces. The pool area is fabulous -- quiet and chic with a mountain view, and we enjoyed sitting by the fire pit at night and feeling the desert breeze on our faces. The continental breakfast buffet offered a good start to each morning. The location is excellent -- a block from the vibrant downtown, and we walked to dinner both nights. The front-desk staff members are friendly, and they personally walked us to our room when we checked in. It gave us the feeling of staying at a friend's house instead of a hotel. Ask about the tramway tickets available at the hotel. They were 2 for $39 when we visited, as opposed to $25.95/each from the tramway website.
