Korakia Pensione

Wow what an amazing experience staying at Korakia. I have decades of experience in Palm Springs but have never stayed at. this property but I am now a fan for life! The rooms are fantastic, the grounds are really lovely and the staff is incredible. You guys we see us again soon!

I don't throw around the word "perfection" lightly, but Korakia earned it. I attended a corporate retreat here over three nights and I genuinely could not have dreamed up a more beautiful setting for it. The Moroccan/Mediterranean design is the real thing — authentic, organic, and deeply considered. Nothing feels staged or overdone. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you've stumbled into someone's incredibly well-traveled home rather than a hotel. Every corner is stunning. What also stood out was how thoughtfully Korakia worked with our group's organizers — you could tell every detail had been aligned with intention, right down to brand considerations. It felt seamless and considered in a way that's rare. We used the yoga stage for a group wellness session and it was absolutely ideal. The pools were the perfect temperature at any hour — morning dip or late night float, it didn't matter. And the quiet! I had some of the best sleep of my life here. I woke up each morning to birds chirping outside my window, which I know sounds like something out of a fantasy — but I promise I'm not exaggerating. It's just that kind of place. Each morning, the Korakia girls brought hot coffee right to our front patio. Breakfast was fast, fresh, and delicious. The cocktails were beautifully crafted. My room had a record player and a kitchenette that was more than I needed — it felt like a proper retreat, not just a hotel stay. The location is a quiet gem too — tucked away from the bustle but walkable to great restaurants, bars, and vintage shops. The best of both worlds. I cannot wait to come back. Korakia is truly special.

Their team was amazing to work with from start to finish. Everyone was incredibly detail-oriented and attentive, which made the whole experience feel seamless and thoughtful. The hotel itself is beautifully curated and full of character, with design choices that make the space feel unique and intentional. It is clear a lot of care goes into both the guest experience and the atmosphere of the property. Would absolutely recommend.

The hotel grounds are beautiful. We booked the Ionion room which was cute but only had a queen bed and the bed room and bathroom were very small. Overall my opinion is the property needs a remodel to bring it up to modern luxury standards. There are no TV’s, no gym and no car chargers. The property is photogenic but that’s about it. Not a bad experience but definitely not luxury.

If you like tranquility, intimate spaces, authentic historic charm, unpretentious attention to detail inside and out, low-key but responsive service, and subtle rustic luxury, then Korakia may be the place for you. It feels blissfully from another time and place, outside the amped-up Mid Mod mood that defines contemporary Palm Springs. The two separate but aesthetically related compounds are each exquisite refuges, morning, noon, and night, when they are lit up with candles. The courtyard breakfast is a delightful way to begin the day; the two offerings, one with eggs and one with granola or muesli, were always fresh, well-prepared, and pleasingly presented. Note that this is definitely not a place for partying nor a place for kids. Nor for the elderly, I might add; I was traveling with my 87-year-old mother, and the spaces were challenging for her (irregular stone floors and pathways, low lighting, high beds, awkward and limited practical areas, at least in the smaller rooms), though she loved the setting and the aesthetics, and everyone working there was nice and accommodating as could be. Very romantic for couples, relaxing for singles and friends.
