Step into the time machine and journey back to the 1960s, when Palm Springs was the ultimate refuge for Hollywood’s elite. This sun-soaked desert oasis has always been a treasure trove of chic, midcentury modern hotels, each reflecting the town’s golden age of glamour. However, the newest addition to this iconic destination, Life House Palm Springs, offers a unique twist by infusing Japanese influences and botanical elements into its design. Opening its doors on November 13th, this 66-key desert hotel promises an unforgettable experience for your Palm Springs itinerary.

Nestled within the confines of a meticulously revamped 1960s property, Life House Palm Springs stands as a tribute to the Mad Men era. The sleek and sophisticated decor exudes a timeless elegance, seamlessly blending with the surrounding desert landscape. The color scheme is an ode to the desert’s palette, featuring burnt oranges, rust, deep greens, and taupe, all perfectly synchronized to transport you back in time. As you step into the lobby, you’re greeted by an elegant midcentury modern lounge area, complemented by an agave green check-in desk. The geometric-tiled cork floor adds a unique touch, creating an immersive experience.

At the heart of the hotel, a vibrant pool area beckons. Vintage-inspired chaise lounges and sun umbrellas line the pool’s edge, inviting you to relax and soak up the sun. For those seeking additional space and privacy, several cabanas with fringed canopies are thoughtfully scattered around the pool. What truly elevates this experience is Minerva’s, the hotel’s signature eatery, conveniently located by the poolside. The restaurant offers a delightful fusion of California flavors, prepared with seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Dining al fresco has never been this enjoyable, as you sip on cocktails and savor delectable dishes in this idyllic setting.

Life House Palm Springs isn’t just a hotel; it’s a time-traveling, botanical-infused oasis, inviting you to bask in the past’s golden age of Hollywood glamour while immersing yourself in a distinctly modern, yet timeless, desert escape.
