Desert Riviera Hotel

I always love my stay at Desert Riviera. Palm Springs is my go to destinations. The rooms at Desert Riviera are quaint and well appointed. The service is great, the staff seem to really care about me and go out of their way to make sure I have everything I need. This particular stay, I was pretty much alone there which I love. This is a place you could enjoy year round, my next visit may be during winter.

Excellent Hospitality. Very clean. The pool was the perfect temperature. There are several restaurants within walking distance. No charge to park in their lot. Very quaint, quiet, relaxing property. So pretty at night with all the candles. The breakfast is a nice touch.

We go to D.R. a couple of times each summer. We like it warm/hot and we hang out at the pool mostly, talking to others and just relaxing. This time was special as my wife and I redid our vows. We had lots of family in town though they all stayed elsewhere and the ceremony was also elsewhere. Never-the-less, the folks at D.R. were especially great. I ordered the Romance Package and that too was fantastic. Traci, Steve, Misty, Teri and others did their usual thing making us and the rest of the guests feel special and right at home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Desert Riviera and will definitely be back. First, the staff is excellent. Instead of sitting behind a front desk, the property has a “host” that circulates around the property talking with guests and making sure that everyone is taken care of and enjoying their stay. Second, nothing has been overlooked to make the stay effortless, from a shared refrigerator in the common kitchen (in addition to the kitchenettes and smaller fridges in the rooms), a laundry room, sunscreen, towels, pool floats, snacks, water bottles, popcorn, margaritas at three, bicycles to borrow, and the list goes on. The hummingbird feeders are particularly charming. Finally, the rooms are spacious, comfortable and stylish. We spent three days doing absolutely nothing and we loved it.

I have stayed at many hotels in the Palm Springs area and this quaint small hotel is, by far, the best stay in over 30 years. We arrived without a reservation but Tracy accommodated us eagerly and with a smile. The rooms and the entire property are very clean. The pool and pool area are very clean. There are pool towels, sunscreen, rafts, water, and bicycles for guests to use. Everything is free for the guests. I highly recommend to stay at the Desert Riviera. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely return for another high quality stay.

We were so glad to have chosen this hotel, thanks to all the great reviews. It was so much to our liking. Sparkling clean (thank you, housekeeping), comfortable and attractive accommodations with a well stocked kitchenette (toaster, Keurig). Homey and relaxed atmosphere outdoors and poolside. Lots of amenities. Great coffee and continental breakfast. The staff are super friendly and go over the top to make your stay special. They do nice things all day (big thanks to Terry) and we appreciated the generosity. Traci and Steve made sure to greet all of the guests daily and engage us in lively and welcoming conversation. Steve also gave us great info to plan our days in and around Palm Springs.

One of the best places I’ve stayed at, without any extra fees. Clean, quiet and relaxing. There was a welcome drink, snacks and bottled water in the room, continental breakfast with a good variety, heated pool, laundry facility…the list goes on. It’s also relatively close to the downtown area but without the hustle and bustle. I will definitely stay at the Desert Riviera next time I’m in Palm Springs (unless all the rooms are booked…there are only 11 or so.)

From start to finish, my experience at Dessert Rivera Hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. The design is a beautiful homage to Palm Springs’ iconic mid-century modern architecture, with vibrant colors, sleek lines, and a touch of vintage flair. Every corner of the property is Instagram-worthy! Our room was spacious and impeccably clean. The pool area is a highlight and the service at Dessert Rivera Hotel was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect. It was clear that the team takes great pride in providing an outstanding guest experience. Their local recommendations and personalized touches made me feel like a valued guest. The hotel’s location is ideal for exploring all that Palm Springs has to offer. It’s just a short distance from downtown, making it easy to access dining and shopping, yet, it’s set back enough to offer a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Dessert Rivera Hotel is a true gem in Palm Springs. Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a solo retreat, or a special celebration, this hotel delivers on all fronts. I cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning soon!
