PB hotel design editorial

Indigo was never just a color choice at Holiday House Palm Springs — it was a declaration. When designer Waldo Fernandez oversaw the renovation of this 1951 mid-century motor court property in Palm Springs' Historic Tennis Club neighborhood, he committed to a palette of cobalt and white with the conviction of someone who understood that restraint in a desert resort can read as timidity. The two-story white stucco structure, with its flat roof, steel-railed exterior staircase, and ribbon windows, carries the modest geometry of postwar California motel architecture exactly as built — the intervention is entirely in how the spaces have been dressed. Inside, the lobby lounge sets the tone with cobalt-lacquered concrete floors, wicker armchairs upholstered in blue-and-white botanical prints, and a mid-century multi-arm brass floor lamp anchoring one corner beneath an urchin-style burst pendant. Guest rooms layer block-printed indigo bedspreads over cane-headboard beds against boldly patterned feature wallpaper — a graphic sunburst motif that stops just short of maximalist — while suites furnish their living areas with deep-navy sofas, oval marble-topped coffee tables on walnut stretcher bases, and abstract California art in warm ochre and terracotta. The kidney-shaped pool, ringed with vintage-style aluminum loungers beneath navy market umbrellas, frames the San Jacinto Mountains with the casual confidence of a property that knows its setting does most of the work.

Holiday House Palm Springs Reviews

"I’m delighted to write this review. Once again, Holiday House exceeds our expectations. Walking into the reception area is like entering a magical retreat. The immediate acknowledgment of the staff is warm and inviting. The decor is gorgeous, charming, inviting and comfortable. Our room was upgraded thanks to the lovely Jason and we were enchanted with the location. Seriously, the beds here have some mystical power to make your sleep sound and refreshing. Everything you could need is there. The grounds are immaculate and as a retired hotel manager, I’m beyond impressed with the staff being so attentive. We felt like family being here. Food is outstanding and pool side service makes the stay even better. The ice cream cart-such a whimsical treat and the various sitting areas are both intimate and comfortable. The management team here is top notch and we are already looking forward to our next stay."

"The basics of hospitality are attentiveness, positive (or at least neutral energy) guest experience, anticipating needs. None of these were met at even a low level. It felt like the woman running the establishment was pissed off that guests were staying at her hotel. She wasn’t pleasant to speak with, gave off an unnecessary attitude with just ebony every question asked (which included a tooth suck eye role and heavy exhale). There was also no ownership if something felt off. I witnessed her speak to myself and other guests as if we did something wrong. The reality is, if your guest has an issue your job is to listen, understand and respond in a way that makes them feel supported, whether you agree with it or not. Low water isn’t something to fuss about, your wait staff not being attentive and surveying the pool is not a guests fault. You not having a clear instruction on your EV policy is not a guests fault and if both spots are taken by non EV vehicles, it probably makes sense to sort that for the guests who ARE driving EV. They were just honestly lazy. Please at least greet people with a smile, get rid of the attitude, anticipate stuff a little better and take care of your bikes."
