Fall in love with Palm Springs' newest boutique hotels
Dive Palm Springs, BelleVue Oasis join the Palm Springs Preferred Small Hotels family
Palm Springs, Oct. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It was a summer of change in Palm Springs, and this fall, you'll want to check out — and check into — the newest boutique hotels to open in the city.
Dive Palm Springs is an 11-room paradise, inspired by the French Riviera. Formerly Colt's Lodge, the property reopened in August, after a meticulous two-month renovation. Most of the rooms come with an outdoor patio, and the most magical one of all, La Reve, features a customer ceiling mural and wallpaper by Christian Lacroix and a gorgeous red-tiled bathroom with a rainfall shower and smoked glass two-way mirror.
"Dive is more than a hotel," owner and general manager Abdi Manavi says. "It's a private luxury time machine. Evoking the casual elegance of Saint Tropez in the 1960s, we created Dive to transport our guests to a romantic forgotten world where it's still safe to relax, play, explore, and release all the trappings of modern life."
In September, Escape Palm Springs officially became BelleVue Oasis. It is no longer a men's clothing-optional hotel, but will remain a 21-and-over, mid-century modern resort. The lush grounds are what inspired the new name, with senior hotel manager Charles Zalepeski saying once you walk onto the property, "It's kind of shocking, you don't expect it to be as beautiful and as big as it is. The pool is beautiful, and the mountain views are ridiculous."
Casa Cody, the oldest operating hotel in Palm Springs, is under new management by the Casseta Group. Casa Cody was founded in the 1920’s by Hollywood pioneer, Harriet Cody, cousin to the legendary, Buffalo Bill. Renovations are underway in several rooms as well as at the Winters House, an original 1930’s California Ranch House, which was added to the property in 2004.
With the closing of the Terra Cotta Resort, Tuscany Manor is now the go-to destination for adults looking for a clothing-optional experience. The all-suite hotel boasts apartment-style units with one or two bedrooms, plus kitchens and living and dining rooms. There is also an updated flower-filled courtyard, complete with a renovated pool, spa, and picnic area. In another major change, the entire property is now smoke free.
As for the Terra Cotta Resort, it is being renovated and will reopen in the fall of 2020 under a new name.
And if owning an exclusive boutique hotel is the dream of a lifetime, The Old Ranch Inn, a Spanish-style landmark hotel built in Palm Springs in the 1930’s, is available for sale at $2.5 million.
