Came here for a business trip. Rooms were good. Views were great. But I want to extend my recommendation to the bar staff at The Place, which is situated at the lower level. They made the BEST drinks, and were super friendly and accommodating (not to mention their Carnivore Pizza from the bar menu was SO GOOD). They even went as far as making sure I felt safe when some bar patrons were being super inappropriate while I was trying to enjoy my drink with fellow coworkers. I hope the hotel management recognizes the bar staff fo... read more

The resort was clean, supplies thoughtfully stocked, strategic landscaping to drown out the nearby traffic completely. Everything was beautiful and inspired relaxation. The towels and shower heads were great, and...they have movable makeup mirrors! I'm a stickler for hotel design that includes not only the men. The shower even has a ledge at a perfect height for shaving legs. I've never stayed somewhere so well designed.

If you’re in the same situation, definitely go for ... read more

For a “resort” hotel, this place is OK. The grounds are beautiful and next to one of several Palm Springs golf courses. It’s located about 2 miles from the famous El Paseo street but there’s not a ton close to the hotel. Food and shops will require you to drive. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean but the walls are thin and not very quiet. You can hear the next door’s alarm go off. The lobby and pool area are beautiful and the breakfast buffet at the CAVA restaurant good. They have continental ($28) and ... read more

What an incredible experience staying at the Esmeralda! We were thankfully able to check in early and were surprised to find out we were upgraded to a queen suite room. We were greeted with delicious cookies and juice in the lobby (including my favorite drink - hibiscus juice!). Once we got to our room - OH MY GOSH. This room had the most incredible views of the Santa Rosa mountains and of all the palm trees throughout the valley. SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! The room was also so spacious and luxuriously set. The bathroom had... read more
