Colony Palms Hotel - Palm Springs 33.83099, -116.54563

This "Classic 1930's" boutique hotel is awesome the renovations are beautiful, the rooms and grounds are wonderfully appointed. We came to Palm Springs for a quick warm up, it was -1 when we left Kansas City, and this was a perfect choice, large pool area for sunning, hot tub, fire place, patio bar and restaurant, and excellent service, and the rooms are great. If you are looking for a "cookie cutter luxury resort and spa" or a "high rise hotel and casino" look elsewhere. If you're looking for cozy setting with plenty of palms and lemon trees, super comfortable rooms with great bathrooms and a fabulous staff The Colony Palms is the place. We can't wait to return.

Morrocan style was fun and cozy. The pool and surrounding gardens were lovely. Free coffee every morning was delicious. The bed and pillows were luxurious. Incredibly convenient location to downtown shopping area and restaurants. Had a most wonderful time.

Felt like going back in time to the days the Rat Pack were in Palm Springs. Staff was wonderful..it's an easy walk to the shops and restaurants on Palm Canyon. The restaurant/bar is a great find even if not staying at the hotel. Very private and special spot.

We checked in about 6 p.m. on a Friday evening. We dropped our bags in the room (which was beautiful) and went to dinner. We returned late and exhausted from our long day of work and travel, finally got to bed. One side of the bed was literally leaning. It wasn't something that you noticed just looking at the bed with all the linens and pillows on it but when you actually went to lie down to go to sleep - no way. You would have had an easier time sleeping on a roof! So we called the desk and explained the problem. They told us that they had no other rooms available but my husband was firm and they relented and moved us to a "larger and better" room. We had to get dressed and re-pack everything quite late at night and then move to the other room, unpack & get re-settled in. I found the "larger and better" room not at all larger and certainly not better - it was actually smaller and it had a fireplace which we didn't even use but that must be why it was better? The layout was not as nice as the original room. A member of housekeeping came down to give us the new room keys and take our old keys and while she waited for us to move our things, she told us that she had requested maintenance on the bed in our original room over a month ago and nothing had been done about it. She said others had complained also. That really made us angry. They knew about it at 6 pm when we checked in yet still gave us that room! We never received an apology (or anything) at all. We thought that was very disappointing. They could have made the situation okay with a simple apology (maybe a complimentary drink or something?) but they never acknowledged the incident in any way. We were there two nights. Moral of the story: Always lie on the bed as soon as you get into a room - even if it's a 4 or 5 store resort!

The hotel was lovely and great location. Only thing that did not meet expectation at all is the food and the restaurant. Very mediocer for such a hotel.

Some areas of the hotel were in need of a good cleaning. Breakfast was a joke. Room was reasonably clean.

We booked the cheapest room available and were so impressed with everything in it - big comfy bed, huge elegant bathroom, great amenities and even our own cocktail shaker / martini glasses / bottles of spirits if we fancied making our own! We preferred to sit by the bar / pool and then fire instead. The only drawback was the service at breakfast seemed to be missing the waiter, but we would return and recommend to others.

This hotel was gorgeous, swanky, quiet and very comfortable. We will definately go back when we are next in Palm Springs. I have already recomended the hotel to friends and family who may want to get away for a night or two who actually live in the area. The during the week price special was perfect and we felt that we got a major deal for the price. Beautiful hotel, friendly service and overall the cutest hotel I have ever stayed at.

The sevice on this trip was poor due to a holiday weekend , in the past it was much better. I will go back again but never on a holiday when they can not meet basic needs

Colony Palms was great especially for the amount of money that we paid. It is conveniently located to the main strip and other main streets to get you where you want to go. Nice pool, nice rooms, clean grounds...we would definitely stay there again.

The hotel itself was very nice. The staff was very friendly and attentive. And it was very relaxing by the pool side. However, there was a mix-up with my reservation. There were 4 people staying in the room. I reserved a room with two beds but when i got there they said they only had single bed suites available. Needless to say, I was very upset. There should not be mix ups like this with the amount of money I was paying. Nice hotel, bad experience.

My husband and I were so pleased with the service at the Colony Palm.

This is a charming boutique hotel- walk to downtown Palm Springs- beautiful setting and pool area- rooms are nice- not fancy but good detail- housekeeping leaves a bit to be desired but other than that- a terrific place- very relaxing and a good value!

I ebjoyed staying here we just needed a getaway and this is exaclty what we were looking for. Upon arrival we got the deluxe KING upgraded which was great.

My boyfriend & I wanted an end of summer trip so we booked a couple nights at the Colony Palms. It was a little hard to find since it doesn't look like much from the outside, but we were very pleased with the hotel once inside! The room was romantic & perfect for a vacationing couple who want a quiet trip. We spent most of our time in the pool, which is open 24 hours! It is a short walk from all the restaurants & night life. We will be back!

the service was good but in the room there were no table and chairs.plus, i didn't get to sleep well because of noise from the insects inside. i don't think i'm going back to this hotel. but overall, the service was ok.

we had to check in after 9 pm, because we took the tram in palm springs at 7 pm(which was a nice experience and close by the hotel) the staff at reception was very friendly and helpful, giving us an advice where to find decent food at that time (coz we were running late). pretty cool the pool is open 24 hrs! very nice room & bathroom, we loved the hacienda style of the hotel.

We loved everything except the imposing music that played all day and night outside at the pool.

The hotel grounds are lush and beautiful with lots of trees, plants, and water features, very relaxing. The pool was good-sized for the size of the hotel, but the pool water was actually too warm. The music around the pool was much too loud, we found it difficult to relax and read a book due to this-it's nice to just have some peace and quiet. We paid for an upgrade to a casita with a private patio and outdoor tub, which was nice, but the tub jets worked very poorly, and the patio area was covered in dust and leaves. Our feet were always dirty because we tracked the dirt in from the patio into our room. It really is a very nice place, but a bit more attention to detail would be good. The staff were great, very friendly and attentive, although it was hard to get served by the pool.

Very nicely decorated rooms, comfortable beds and excellent outdoor areas. I had a quiet relaxing weekend while doing work in Palm Springs. I especially enjoyed the restaurant and pool atmosphere. Great food and cool electronic chill music while lounging at the pool. The hotel staff was very helpful during my stay. I am definately going back for another long weekend.

this hotel was very relaxing! It was perfect for a nice get-a-way.

Great place for a get away and relaxation, love the 24hour open pool and spa, the best music I have ever heard playing outdoors. It will take your mind off your problems. All things considered, very nice. The airconditioning can improve, rooms are smaller than average

This was a nice place to stay if you like small boutique hotels. The minor inconveniences consisted of the pool area being too small to accommodate everyone which caused a big commotion between several different groups of people, the bathroom has a big double sliding door into the bedroom which seemed a bit weird every time you went to the bathroom, and on Sunday, they advertised free pastries starting at 7. Finally at 8:30 they brought out 1 tray of piping hot delicious cinnamon rolls and buns. ONE TRAY - that was it. Of course, with all those guys there, they only lasted 2 minutes and that was it with the free pastries. It seemed kinda odd they made it sound like there would be plenty. The purple lemonades were good, but $12 seems like A LOT for a little plastic cup filled with ice and a little beverage. The good things: ice cold water by the pool, Daniel the waiter was very friendly. This would be very nice if you just wanted to lounge by the pool and not really go out. We thought it would be a lot closer to town -it's not far, but it's not THAT close either. The staff did bring out extra lounge chairs, but there was only so much room by the pool. All of the staff were nicely attired and very polite.

We couldn't have enjoyed our stay anymore than we did! It was such a beautiful hotel with an amazing staff. I will definitely stay here the next time I come to Palm Springs.

Great location and the restaurant is very good.

Beautiful setting, excellent restaurant.

This is a magical oasis right in the heart of bustling Palm Springs, yet somehow it is still peaceful beyond the gates of the front desk. Dine in the exquisite Purple Palm share your wine with their very knowledgeable sommelier, swim past midnight and enjoy the serenity and comfort of your room. The beds are what dreams are made of. I have stayed at the Colony Palm approximately 10 times now since they opened - I couldn't imagine staying any where else. It is the perfect home away from Los Angeles. Close to all the shopping and restaurants. And a super friendly staff of concierge!

We actually received a complimentary upgrade to a "Casita" which included a small patio with a spa tub. The room was nice and reflected the Spanish style. However, the spa tub had insects inside and wasn't cleaned prior to check-in. The plasma TV was a tad bit small for the room. Apparently, guests are allowed to bring their dogs and we had the honor of hearing a dog barking practically all night. Guests even bring their dogs to the pool area and restaurant. There appeared to be no restrictions in this area which is annoying. The pool area is quite small and impossible to get a seat/lounge chair. Overall, the staff was friendly and accommodating. My only complaints are allowing animals and they need to clean the spa tub in the room.

This place is a must! The pool is surrounded by a beautiful garden and the rooms were lovely. My only suggestion is to bring your own pillows - theirs are big and hard - aside from that everything was perfect... No loud kids, just 1 block over from downtown, plush landscape, very clean (I'm a germ-a-phobe by the way), staff was very nice, oh and their restaurant is fresh and delish!! Enjoy!!!

They spared no expense in renovating this hotel. It is comfortable yet stylish. I want to go back. I had a great massage and treatment in the spa and the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing. Try the lobster mac and cheese in the hotel restaurant. It is the ultimate comfort food.

Loved this hotel!!!! Charming quiet room, comfortable bed/linens, huge shower, walking distance to downtown. This hotel features a lovely courtyard build around the pool with a highly rated restaurant situated next to the pool. It does not have a lot of curb appeal but is lovely inside. We missed the hotel on our first driveby because the sign is difficult to see. The only downside was the pillows were too poofy - request skinny pillows so you can sleep.

Somewhat overpriced, food quality and presentation good, service a little slow

Perfect downtown location with quiet pool....not a lot of food services

This is a great hotel, they did a fantastic job with the remodel, the ambience was delicious. My only dislike was no place to sit and put on my makeup! It was charming, the bed was very comfortable, the pool very nice to relax in. You could forget that there was a main street outside of the grounds. Easy walking distance to local shops and restaurants. We even were able to get an extra hour before check-out so that after our morning hike at Tahquitz Canyon we really needed time to take a swim and we got it.

From the outside, the hotel does not look like much.....in fact, we passed it twice before seeing the sign on the wall out front...should trim the bushes. Once inside, the grounds are very nice and the room was a great value for what we paid. Very nice bed, very quiet room and lots of AC. The pool could use some attention...we had a lot of people in the pool and with the sunscreen and body oils, the water did get a bit merky. We will return to this hotel. Very gay friendly. We were one of several male couples. And the bestest part.......NO KIDS!! We really enjoyed not hearing screeming kids in the pool. Thanks

The grounds of the hotel were very nice, nicer than we expected. My only complaints are that there was no dresser for clothes(in the jr king sized room). Or couch. There was one chair. This was one of the smaller rooms but it wasnt that cheap so I would have hoped for somewhere to put clothes. However there was a fully stocked bar complete with martini glass, wine and champagne glasses. I asked for a roll away bed to be put in the room for an extra guest on our last night and it was forgotten when we got there late at night. Other than that the place was really cute and the pool was very nice.

From the moment me & my sister arrived, we were greeted with friendly staff. As soon as we walked in the door, the tv was set to soft, jazzy music to welcome us in the room. So nice! I've never seen that before. The room was super clean and even better than I expected. The pictures don't do it justice. It has a nice bar with alcohol and treats, though they were a little pricey, but what do you expect? The bed was very comfy and luxurious. The bathroom was Spanish style and very cool with a large shower. The grounds of the hotel are very well maintained and relaxing. This is going to be my go-to hotel whenever I'm in Palm Springs. I found my home!
