The hype
The rooms are massive, gorgeous, and perfectly located, but the service model feels too hands-off for the price.
Drift Palm Springs
$250-$450 / νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You're traveling with a group or want a stylish, apartment-style suite with a full kitchen right in downtown Palm Springs.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Spacious 1-to-4 bedroom suites with full kitchens
- Chic Baja-inspired minimalist design
- Excellent location walking distance to downtown Palm Springs
Γρήγορη Ματιά: It's essentially a high-end, heavily stylized Airbnb masquerading as a boutique hotel—meaning no daily housekeeping, virtual check-in, and a mandatory $45 resort fee.
Αξιολόγηση από @thecuratedwanderer: My 24 hours at Drift Palm Springs were pure magic. Waking up to mountain views from my bed and sipping coffee on the balcony was the perfect reset. The pool is stunning, and ending the night with cocktails at Bar Cecil was the cherry on top. Highly recommend for a chic getaway!

- Groups and bachelorette parties needing multi-bedroom suites
- Design lovers who appreciate minimalist, Baja-chic aesthetics
