Holiday House

I spent a lot of time deciding where to stay in Palm Springs and I am so glad I chose Holiday House. It is right in the centre but still wonderfully quiet. At check-in we received adorable 'Love is Love' multicoloured beaded bracelets as a welcome gift - such a cute touch! Our room was perfect - beautifully decorated with a spacious, super comfortable bed and luxurious bed linen. Sitting on the balcony with mountain views was incredibly peaceful. The bathrobes were plush (though slippers would be a nice addition) and the bathroom products were high quality. Thoughtful little extras like Tic Tacs, mouthwash and toothpaste were a nice surprise. The included continental breakfast was lovely and a great start before lounging by the pool. The entire staff was fantastic but the housekeeping team stood out - always friendly, helpful and ready to assist with any questions. I cannot wait to come back!

Stayed here for 2 nights in March with my sister. It was my first time to Palm Springs and the Holiday House was recommended by a local and overall we were happy with our stay. It’s a boutique hotel on the smaller side but that gives us a great local and personal feel. I debated between 4 and 5 stars but I always have to look at the price versus what you get. And our room was ~$850/night so for that price you have to look at what you are getting versus other full service hotels in the area. Yes, it was high season but it’s still on the pricier side. Staff: A+ The team here is overly friendly (in a good way). I don’t think we passed through the lobby without a “good morning” or “hello”. Chris, the GM, gets a shout out as well as the waitstaff at the restaurant. Everyone was super helpful. Location: A+ One block off the main strip so was quieter but easy to walk everywhere. There are dozens of restaurants and shopping within a 5 minute walk. Grounds: A Well laid out and clean grounds. They have parking right on sight and we never had an issue getting a spot. There is also shuffle board, a fire pit, and cabana’s for more general outdoor relaxation. Pool: B+ It was a bit cold when we were there so didn’t go in the pool. More than enough comfy chairs for the # of guest through. However, they were lacking clean towels and we had 30 mins for them to bring more. And there wasn’t consistent wait staff. But again, it wasn’t exactly prime pool weather so many in a different season this is adjusted. Room: A- We had a “Big Room” on the second floor which definitely lived up to its name. Huge bar, seating area, bathroom with 2 sinks, a soaking tub and shower. Bed was super comfy. A/C not easy to use and our room lacked a balcony which was a bummer. Seemed smaller rooms had balconies. For the large rooms like ours this was a disappointment. Also note there is no elevator so if you have trouble with stairs you should request a room on the first floor. Lobby: B The lobby is cute, cozy and picturesque and ideal for Insta-worthy moments. However there is no real check-in desk. You end up going up to the bar where they have the computer. And there is no place to store luggage if you arrive early or leave late. They stack them up in the living room area which is a bit awkward. Restaurant: A We split a lunch here (which the GM nicely comped us due to some A/C woes) which was good. It’s all outdoors, nicely decorated and covered and gives a feel-good vibe. In hindsight we should have tried dinner here too. Housekeeping: B They seem to lack enough housekeeping staff as past 2:30 no one had come to clean as they were prioritizing check out rooms to turn them over. When they did come they did a good job. Note you will only get 2 towels in the bathroom, apparently to conserve water due to Cali droughts. And you have to ask to get more and get them replaced. In hindsight we said we wished we had forgone the bigger room and gotten a smaller room with a balcony. There wasn’t a big difference in price but the balcony would have been great. I’m not giving 5 stars just due to the high price versus the overall friendly but not overly luxurious experience I expect with it. But don’t let that deter you. It’s a great option in PS that I highly recommend.

The Holiday House is fantastic ! Great location, great rooms, great pool and adjoining area, great breakfast, very relaxed vibe. It was perfect to be able to walk just a block to the main street and then back to the quiet of the Holiday House. And most of all. a wonderful staff. Thank you Chris and staff for an incredible stay.

Israel is the absolute best! Our experience here was one of a kind! The food, drinks and atmosphere is one of a kind. Manager Chris is so accommodating. We sat outside on the patio and it was magical. Took my in-laws and they already want to come back! Run don’t walk to holiday house!

We had a delightful stay. Peaceful, calm, comfortable and clean. Love the modern elements mixed with the original hotel. There is no formal hotel check-in desk but rather a nice welcoming area with a bar. They make a great Old Fashion! The staff are courteous and attentive and make you feel right at home. Your time is not cluttered messing with bills for every drink, treat or food you may purchase during your stay. That might seem like a small detail, but it adds to the stress free vibe. They know your room number, no sweat. There are many nooks in and outside to cozy up. Great location for walking to restaurants, yet you feel you are in a remote private place next to the foothills.
