Scene
A large boxy hotel with a fun retro decor and '70s-style architecture
Hilton Palm Springs’ is a large boxy hotel with a '70s style architecture and a colorful sort of groovy decor. The hotel lobby is done in a color palette of white, brown, and tan. Red and blue accents
in the form of lamps, pillows, and chairs are highlighted by geographically
abstract carpets in the same colors. The hallways are similar in style but with
the addition of yellow geometric flower shapes on the carpets. Hilton Palm
Springs has over 30,000 square feet of convention and ballroom space which
includes large rooms filled with projection screens and tables. Most guests are at the hotel to utilize the convention and ballroom spaces, though families with kids and couples are drawn here for the massive pool deck.
Location
Located within 15-minutes of walking distance to downtown and Palm Springs Convention Center
For guests without cars or those looking to ditch the
wheels for a few days, Hilton Palm Springs is in a perfect location to enjoy the area by foot or by a free trolley service Thursday through Sunday. For shoppers, The
Vineyard Shopping Center and Downtown Palm Springs is about a 10-minute walk away. Palm
Springs Convention Center is also in walking distance for conference attendees.
Across the street is the Spa Resort Casino. A short walk down Tahquitz Canyon
Way, guests have a slew of dining options and just across the street is
Sherman’s Deli, a local favorite. Palm Springs International Airport is a short five-minute drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Large rooms with terraces and some with pool access
Like the lobby, the rooms at The Hilton Palm Springs
have a vintage style reminiscent of the ‘70s, though the style here reads as more bland and dated than the colorful and fun atmosphere found downstairs. Boxy wooden brown headboards and side tables match brown
retro-inspired chairs. The rooms have up-to-date technology options like a flat-screen
TV, free Wi-Fi, and plug-in options for HDMI, Audio and PC, and USB cables. Rooms are spacious, especially king-size rooms which include a pullout couch. Rooms facing the pool courtyard give a pleasant view from the furnished terrace of
the swimming pool and the mountains in the distance; those on the first floor have direct access to the pool. Bathrooms feature ample counter and storage space, large shower/tub combos, and Peter Roth toiletries. Guests celebrating their
wedding in the hotel ballrooms are sometimes given a free night’s stay in a suite, depending on their package.
Features
Massive pool deck and cabanas, spa, and three restaurants
By far the best feature of Hilton Palm Springs Resort is
the pool area. There is a large pool deck with 15,000 square feet devoted to two hot tubs and a huge pool landscaped with palm trees and flowering bushes. There are large cabanas for rent with
refrigerators, fans, and safes. The pool and cabanas are serviced by Al
Fresco, an outdoor bar which provides mixed drinks, food, and a water mister. Poolside gas fire pits are also a nice touch. Terrace
Restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining with stylish seating such as plush couches centered around tables. They serve a simple breakfast buffet at a cost, and lunch and dinner as well. Harvey's Lounge provides cocktails and flat-screen TVs, along with happy hour specials. Room service is available. Another notable feature is Elements Spa; it provides massages, facials, and nail services. The 24-hour fitness
center includes a number of exercise machines with attached televisions. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel and there are two ballrooms and 12 large function rooms for rent. Hilton Palm Springs has an on-site convenience store, clothing
store, and gift shop so guests don't have to run to a local store for anything they've forgotten to bring.
