The Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs brings a fresh, elevated perspective to the Palm Springs hotel scene. Blending mid-century modern design with bohemian desert vibes, the Rowan delivers sophistication and style.

Perched on the roof, the pool impresses with panoramic mountain views that stretch across the Coachella Valley. Cabanas and lounge chairs dot the deck, accompanied by cool libations from the lively High Bar. Come nightfall, the sky ignites in brilliant hues reflected in the peaceful water.

The cuisine shines with locally-sourced ingredients and scratch technique. Mediterranean-inspired small plates at rooftop 4 Saints take you on a flavorful voyage with shareable dishes ideal for lingering over. Downstairs at Juniper Table, fresh salads, avocado toast, and hot chicken biscuits satisfy morning cravings.

In the heart of downtown, culture and cocktails are just steps outside the lobby doors. For those craving solitude, the welcoming rooms provide a refined desert nest. Creamy upholstery, woven headboards, and skyline-view windows wrap you in relaxation. Thoughtful details like yoga mats and evening wine service add luxury touches throughout each stay.

While Palm Springs teems with trendy hotels, the Kimpton Rowan stands out through its prime location, spectacular views, and sophisticated yet lively ambiance. This urban oasis balances the buzz of downtown with an intimate retreat-like feel – the perfect blend for an elevated Palm Springs escape.

The Rooms

Spacious, modern and. smartly appointed with fabulous sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains. I just wish there were some bathtub options besides the corner suites.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

The Food & Drink

We’re big fans of 4 Saints and the Window Bar. Great cocktails (albeit slightly slow service) on the rooftop. Please add a club sandwich poolside!

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

The Ambience

It’s sleek, modern while still working its way beautifully into the mid-century landscape of Palm Springs. I love working in the lobby with that window perfectly framing the mountains in the background. Art!

With interiors by Jonathan Adler, this ode to maximalism is a cross section of all things Palm Springs. Bright, mod, glam yet oddly tranquil and discreet.
