Desert Rivera Hotel was recommended to us by friends. A wonderful, relaxed atmosphere with pleasant staff and wonderful outdoor gardens/pool/fire pit areas. Loved riding the hotel provided bikes each morning. Met wonderful fellow vacationers many of whom were repeat guests.

Without TripAdvisor I would never have discovered this place. I was blown away. Awesome property with a cool 1950s feel. Exceptionally comfortable, great rooms, and gorgeous pool/gardens. I loved the Hummingbirds that were frequent visitors. I wish I had stayed longer!

The desert riviera is a special place - it is small and the people who run it are hands down the best hoteliers I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Their goal is to pamper and inform and they create the perfect environment for a relaxing stay. The rooms are simple and clean. The kitchen has basics for food prep... More

I absolutely loved staying at the Desert Riviera and cannot wait to go back. Larry, Patti, Judy and Judy's husband were some of the kindest most welcoming people we had ever met. They provided great recommendations on places to see, things to do, and where to dine. The limo driver, Jay, was a delight as he would tell us stories... More

This was our first stay and it was fantastic. Larry, Patty and Judy went out of thier way to make our stay relaxing and comfortable while providing everything we needed or wanted in a low key fashion that made us feel like family. The whole place has a cozy feel and virtually all of the rooms are just a few... More

We are repeat guests of the Desert Riviera Hotel and every visit seems to get better. Owners, Larry & Patty, treat their guests as if they are family staying in their private home. No car, no problem as their Limo service will pick you up and return you to the airport. There are bicycles for all to use, a bar-b-que,... More

In 2011, we had not been to Palm Springs in over 30 years. Looking for a different experience than Spring Break, we found this hotel. We came back again this year and had to write. This is the place you want to stay! Patty, Larry, Judy and KC are amazing folks. How are you? What can I do to make... More

We are coming back for our 4th stay and each one is a little longer than the last. We have felt at home here from the first time we set foot in the lovely courtyard. The people are the best. No request too much. So much to do all around the area, we find new treasures each visit. And to... More

This is the best bet if you want a Palm Springs boutique hotel experience. It's the best of modern and retro at the same time. The staff are awesome, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The pool is the perfect temperature for hot days and warm nights. My only complaint is that making reservations is a challenge since they are... More
