Holiday House is a charming boutique hotel set in downtown Palm Springs. Guest rooms have a character of their own, with names such as Good, Better, Best, Big Room and The Suite each with special features like curated artwork collections, Waterworks bath hardware, Mark D. Sikes custom textiles, and no televisions. The idea is to create an environment where people interact with one another and let go of their worries. Originally built in 1951, it has mid-century inspired elements combined with a communal atmosphere and quirky edge. The design centers around Gio Ponti inspired tile-work in the bar and artwork throughout the property.

Location is ideal, within walking distance to many great restaurants, and 5 minute drives to hiking and other attractions. The decor is curated to perfection, so many details to admire in rooms and public spaces. Breakfast is nice and the surroundings are so pretty. Though room was always cleaned well and decorated nicely, the lighting in my particular room was very dim. Some might like that, but having to do my makeup in what seemed like candlelight in the bathroom, was just impossible. A full length (or any length) mirror would be appreciated in the bedroom. I could not see myself in the decorative mirror they placed high over the bar cart. The bar cart was actually adorable, filled with great snacks and funny toys and book! Also note, no safe or shower caps, though the little blue zip up case of toiletries is a great touch. Overall, the aesthetic was A+ !

Nice hotel and a good location. However, although I pre-paid the room, I was surprised and a disappointed that I had to pay an additional $40 fee for parking, wi fi, and the breakfast. When I asked if I could skip the breakfast and not pay the fee they said it was all or nothing. As a life-long traveler I've stayed in hundreds of hotels, and this was the first hotel where I had to pay for parking (except for a hotel in a big city, downtown area) and wi fi. There were plenty of open parking places all around the hotel. Not a good way to get another $40 out of their customers.

We loved the atmosphere at Holiday House. It felt very much individual, authentic and grown up but fun. Staff were lovely and location was excellent. Breakfast was a bit odd but perfectly serviceable. Not sure if ‘continental’ was an accurate description. Had a great lunch there though. Booked a best room and it was a great size and had a perfect balcony with a view over the pool onwards to the mountains. Would return.

Hotel was a home away from home and had everything we needed. Location perfect for walking everywhere downtown Palm Springs and a short drive to everything else.

I never end reviews with "we'll be back" so this time I'll start that way. WE'LL BE BACK. Holiday House is the perfect Palm Springs getaway: welcoming, artfully decorated, plenty of outdoor space, centrally located, excellent food, peaceful. The staff is friendly and helpful. Great value, too, for a Sunday-Thursday stay in early January.
