The Little Paradise Hotel is a hidden gem. The location is slightly off the main road but still quite central to downtown Palm Springs. The bed was incredibly comfortable and was made up with high quality linens. The room was very clean. The separate kitchenette was generously provisioned included a complimentary bottle of wine and a continental breakfast. The king size room bathrooms are large and feature dual sinks with multi jet showers. The pool is kept at an amazing 87 degrees, which made it perfect for a morning swim.

The room is very nice and modern with a spacious bathroom and kitchenette. The shower feels like a spa with multiple water jets. It would be nice to have some hooks in the room or another small table for clothes, bags or other items. Each room has a small outdoor area with patio furniture which we enjoyed. You can login to your various apps to watch on the TV.Â
The pool area is quiet and relaxing with a great mountain view. Music is played during the day at a reasonable volume (Sade playlist was nice but could do without the country music). If you're looking to party or get drunk by the pool then this is not the place for you. Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy the shared fire pit as the propane tank was empty and the office had already closed.Â
Staff is masked and lounge chairs by the pool are socially distanced. Breakfast and housekeeping are not currently offered due to covid. It would be nice to at least have breakfast bars, bananas, yogurt or other individually wrapped breakfast items offered.Â
Looking forward to staying here again.

Very nice boutique hotel. We stayed 2 nights in the luxury King room. The bed was very comfortable and a good sized room. It also featured a full size kitchen and large bathroom with jetted shower. It's located in a residential area, so it's nice and quite (if that's what your looking for) and only has 9 rooms, so after a long day of activities, or sightseeing, it's nice to come back to a quite and refreshing location. Heated pool open 24 hrs and nice seating area with fire table. Friendly owners and staff. Highly recommended.... *PS* note really walking distance to any downtown locations, but it's only a 5 min drive.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Our Mountain View room was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the breakfast treats that were stocked in our refrigerator and loved being able to pick a grapefruit from the tree off the back patio for breakfast as well! The fireplace was a nice addition to the room and provided a quick warmup to the room in the evenings when temperatures dropped. The pool was warm enough to comfortably swim in even though our daytime temperatures were only in the high 60s. We will book here again next time we return.

There are only nine rooms, so if you’re wanting a quiet time lounging around the pool, this is a great place to do it. I had an easy time sleeping. It was quiet. But the walls are thin. We could hear the guy in the next room discussing his bowel movements very clearly.
The bed was comfy. The bathroom was good size with double sinks and a great shower. There’s a full-size kitchen. But there were some issues once you started looking. The shower head was old and needed replacing. One of the faucet handles rotated the wrong way. The furniture outside was dirty.
There was also no daily housekeeping, which has been getting blamed on Covid, but I travel a lot and have stayed in many budget hotels that do daily housekeeping, so it’s seems like an excuse. The same goes for the lack of providing breakfast. There’s always ways to take care of your guests. That’s what great customer service is really about. There was no effort.
While I enjoyed my stay I guess my issue is the presentation of being an upper tier boutique hotel with the accompanying price tag but lacking some of the details and finery that one expects with that.
A few nice things were having cruiser bikes available to take out, being able to park for free just a few feet from the room was awesome and having the pool just a few steps from the front door.
Would I stay here again? Maybe. It would depend on the cost. On this occasion I didn’t feel like it was worth it.

I have to say, I could not believe how many great reviews this hotel had. I had to see for myself what everyone was talking about and now.... I get it! Little Paradise Hotel is an amazing, relaxing, clean, little getaway place in Palm Springs. My first impression was awe at how close it was to the mountains. You can just walk a block down and literally touch the mountains. The place has about 9 or 10 rooms. My room had a king size bed, big bathroom, and kitchen area. They have all the amenities you will need, including providing you with fresh drinking water and a bottle of wine. Judy and Victor are wonderful and really go out of their way to make their guests happy. I could say so many good things about this place. It is very beautiful with the mountain backdrop and the nice decor in and around the hotel. It is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood. Peace and quiet is exactly what you will get! I woke up every morning refreshed and more energized than usual. I had my coffee out on the patio area looking at the pool. It was so nice to just be able to walk out of your room and the pool is right there! My boyfriend and I picked fresh oranges and grapefruit from the fruit trees on the hotel's property. Delicious! The front office also had bananas available. There are complimentary bikes to ride, pool rafts to use, and all the hospitality you can ask for. I love sleeping in a dark, cold room and their A/C worked great and had layers of shades and curtains if you want to block the hot desert sun. The room was spacious and clean. If I had to find one thing to complain about, I'd only say that the mattress and pillows are extremely soft and I would prefer much more firm ones. Also, the beautiful shower with a ton of jets was a little too much for me. I would also advise them to purchase a dresser for each room as there is absolutely nowhere to put your clothes. We hung a few items on hangers but the rest had to just sit in our suitcase. Overall though, the hotel is wonderful. I would definitely recommend it and I can't wait to come back another time!

On my last trip to Palm Springs I stayed across the street at a decent but nothing spectacular hotel. This time I found the Little Paradise hotel and I am SO glad I did. The communication prior to arrival about covid rules and restrictions and changes to normal protocol helped understand what to expect. The property is in a lovely neighborhood that you wouldn't know was there if you didn't know! The property was lovely, well maintained, beautiful landscaping, lighting and ambiance in evenings. The room (King Deluxe) was wonderful! The bed was very comfortable, the room was perfectly decorated and very clean. Judy and Victor were wonderful hosts. So kind and willing to do anything you need, although I needed nothing but quiet and relaxation and that is exactly what I got. Much less guests during the week than on weekends so I had the pool to myself daily! Victor also came out to check temperature of pool and if we wanted it raised which is unheard of and really impressed me! The neighborhood is wonderful for morning walks and there are plenty of little eating gems in the area for when you don't feel like going downtown. Their hospitality and their kindness and relaxed location made me a fan. I cannot wait to return.

We were hosted by Victor, a charming man who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The hotel was refurbished summer 2020; it feels modern but still charming. The room was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed, including cool Corelle Vitrelle dinnerware. You can dim the bedroom lights to a nice romantic level, or bight enough for reading. I love the music played at the pool too. This was our third time visiting and as always, we hated to leave. Thank you Victor and Judy!

My wife and I stayed on a quick one night trip and the experience was fantastic. Judy (the host) was there for any questions but gave everyone space. Not a party hotel, mostly couples looking to lounge around in peace. The room was clean with modern touches making the stay very pleasant. We liked having a small kitchen to heat food the next morning. Location requires you to uber into downtown but hotel pricing was competitive which made up for it. Walkable to Ace and Tropics if you want to go grab drinks or a meal. Will stay again!

Wow. What an amazing find! I booked this quaint hotel for two nights in July and I could not be more impressed. This small hotel checked off all my boxes. Clean, comfortable, affordable and in a great, quiet location that’s still close enough to downtown. Judy was such a great hostess! Friendly and welcoming, she can tell you all sorts of history and interesting tidbits about the hotel as well as the general area. She was very accommodating and was a joy to talk to. Judy was able to accommodate my early check in request and the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I had found our new favorite boutique hotel in PS. The pool area is relaxing with lounge chairs for basking, surrounding the pool. There is also a small covered cabana/patio seating area. Each King room has their own seating, right outside the door, with a privacy curtain and small table. There are 9 rooms total, 8 are King beds and one Queen. Please note the Queen room is the only one without a kitchen or private patio, but it’s still a very nice room. We stayed in #5 and I have no complaints. Like literally zero bad things to say about this property. The interior is decorated very modern and the shower is amazing! The kitchen is equipped with all the basics of what you would need to cook a meal. There was a bottle of filtered drinking water in the fridge awaiting us and also a bottle of water on the counter for the coffee machine. The amenities were awesome! Nice toiletries and a close up mirror which I appreciated. There are robes provided which I always love and the bed linens and towels were all plush and felt luxurious. Our bed was very comfortable! I was very impressed with the room decor and again, so happy I found this place. The lobby is open 24 Hours in case you need to help yourself to extra coffee pods, grab some ice or perhaps a banana to snack on. There’s also a little library should you need to borrow some reading material while staying here. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed a very relaxing and romantic stay in Palm Springs and this hotel contributed so much to that. I can’t wait to come back and visit!

It depends on what you would call walking distance. If you are willing to walk about a mile you have many choices. If you prefer closer, there are a couple to choose from. Most of the action in town is going to be about 1.25-1.5 miles away, but it is a very easy and pleasant walk. They also provide bikes which are an excellent option and faster than uber.
I would call, they keep good tabs on their bookings, and can tell you about staying with a baby based on when you will be there. I don't think it is an adult only hotel. They are very helpful, and honest
There are more places to choose from in the Palm Springs area.
