Mid-Century Hotel + Pool + Hot Tub + Cold Plunge + Bikes | Minutes to Downtown | Hotel in Palm Springs
Hotel in Desert Park Estates, Palm Springs
Sunshine, saturated color, and a little bit of Old Hollywood mischief — that's the Monkey Tree formula, and Room 4 serves it up in canary yellow. Tucked inside a gated, one-acre mid-century modern retreat in North Palm Springs, this sunny studio is your passport to the most spirited stay in the desert.
Designed in 1960 by legendary modernist architect Albert Frey, Monkey Tree has lived many lives. Its storied past reads like a tabloid dream — rumor has it JFK and Marilyn Monroe snuck away here for a tryst, and the hotel's low-slung silhouette and original bones still whisper of the Rat Pack era. Today, a thoughtful restoration has brought the property back to its glamorous roots while layering in a fresh, design-forward sensibility that feels equal parts gallery and getaway.
Room 4 is where California sunshine goes to hang out. Bright canary accents pop against clean mid-century lines, original artwork lines the walls, and a spacious vanity gives you room to get ready in style (or just admire yourself in good light). The king bed is dressed for deep sleep, the ensuite is stocked with modern fixtures, and the whole space strikes that elusive balance between design-magazine cool and put-your-feet-up comfortable.
Step outside and the hotel opens up around a heated saltwater pool, a lush lawn, and a Scandinavian-style spa featuring a sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge — a full hydrotherapy circuit rarely found at a property this intimate. Swaying palms, panoramic San Jacinto Mountain views, and a communal fire bowl set the scene for slow mornings and long, lantern-lit evenings. Lawn games, board games, complimentary bikes, and the hotel's generous BYOB policy mean there's always something to do — or not do — depending on the mood.
You're also perfectly placed to explore. Downtown Palm Springs and the Uptown Design District are just minutes away, with vintage shopping, buzzy cocktail bars, and some of the Coachella Valley's best restaurants within easy reach. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, hiking trails, and the mid-century home tours that made this town famous are all a quick drive. Whether you're here for a romantic escape, a design pilgrimage, or a weekend of pool-lounging with a cocktail in hand, Suite 4 at Monkey Tree is a technicolor love letter to the Palm Springs of it-girls and architects past.
