Our Story
Long before Palm Springs became a design destination known around the world, Pink Palm Inn was already part of the story.
Originally opened in 1938 as the Mira Loma, the property was designed by renowned Palm Springs architect William F. Cody during the early rise of the desert’s golden era. Tucked beneath a rare Bermuda-style roofline and framed by sweeping mountain views, the hotel quickly became part of the city’s growing culture of Hollywood escape, where actors, artists, musicians, and socialites disappeared into the desert for long weekends beneath the sun.
Over the decades, the property evolved through several iconic identities — including Ballentine’s and the beloved Palm Springs Rendezvous — while quietly becoming part of the layered history that makes Palm Springs feel unlike anywhere else.
Guests over the years have included names tied to old Hollywood glamour and Palm Springs lore, including Veronica Lake, Gloria Swanson, and most notably, Marilyn Monroe. That spirit still lingers throughout the property today — in the playful nostalgia, the cinematic design details, the poolside energy, and the feeling that time moves just a little slower here.
Today, the Pink Palm Inn has been thoughtfully reimagined as an adults-oriented boutique retreat inspired by vintage Palm Springs glamour, retro escapism, and relaxed desert luxury.
Each suite has its own distinct personality, blending old Hollywood influences, tropical resort nostalgia, mid-century energy, and playful design that feel both curated and distinguished. Some rooms lean moody and cinematic, others bright and flirtatious — but all are rooted in the same spirit of escape.
With just 11 individually designed suites surrounding a sun-soaked courtyard pool and a curated onsite spa, the Pink Palm Inn offers something increasingly rare in modern hospitality: a stay that feels personal, transportive, and full of allure.
It’s not simply a place to stay. It’s the kind of Palm Springs weekend people talk about long after they leave.
