ARRIVE Palm Springs

If the aesthetic looks familiar, you’re not imagining things: Arrive Palm Springs is a Palisociety venture, an adaptation of the group’s accssibly glamorous look and invitingly sociable atmosphere to a modernist-inspired compound in the Uptown Design District. The architecture is distinctive, and traces its heritage to the local style, but you wouldn’t call it retro — this is no space-age throwback, but pure 21st-century Palm Springs.

The rooms are not just photogenic, they’re exceedingly comfortable, though they stop short of excess; Studio rooms come with king beds, marble-accented bathrooms, and automatic shades, while the Patio rooms add a touch of private outdoor space, complete with a fireplace. Interiors feature some retro-inspired elements, from Victorian-style wallpaper and curvaceous leather armchairs to modernist chairs, desks, and lamps — the look is appealingly eclectic, which lends a certain warmth.

And in a hotel like Arrive, you’re meant to spend as much time in the public spaces as in your room. Fortunately they make it easy, with a vast expanse of poolside lounge space, as well as a café by the Arizona-based Cartel Coffee Lab, an ice cream shop, and an indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar.
