PB hotel design editorial

Against the raw face of the San Jacinto Mountains — as close to the escarpment as Palm Canyon Drive permits — Thompson Palm Springs makes its argument in white stucco volumes, cantilevered balconies, and flat rooflines that echo the Coachella Valley's mid-century modernist inheritance without imitating it directly. Opened in 2021, the 168-room property was developed on a site long associated with Palm Springs hospitality, its low-rise massing stepping across two and three storeys to keep the mountain backdrop dominant rather than obscured. The architecture, contemporary desert modernist in register, gives every room a private outdoor terrace and a framed view of either the mountains or the palm-lined valley floor below. Inside, the interiors — designed with a layered warmth that runs counter to the bleached minimalism common in desert hotels — move between terrazzo floors, burl-wood nightstands, upholstered headboards in taupe and sage, and brass fittings that carry a quiet 1970s California resonance. The lobby bar anchors the social atmosphere with a curved counter faced in amber glazed tile, dark flagstone flooring, and large-scale artworks that tip toward lowrider culture and Californian botanical imagery. Striped black-and-white umbrellas line the pool deck in a graphic pattern visible from the upper balconies, the San Jacinto ridgeline rising sharply behind — a view that makes the case for this particular site more persuasively than any interior detail could manage.

"Room was wonderful, large, plenty of light and air conditioning was good. Shower and bathroom were nice, nothing special but very much acceptable. Housekeeping was also good. Problem was with an inferior breakfast came with room temperature sunny side up eggs, potatoes were nothing to brag about, chicken sausage good but at $28 waay over priced. Then the bill came and the total was incorrect. Talked to the manager and had it corrected. Seemed the machine could not add $28 breakfast and $5 coffee."

"This hotel was top notch in every way. The location was great right in the heart of Palm Springs. Lots of dining and shopping within walking distance. The room was comfortable and spacious with a view of the pool and the mountains. We don't normally eat at a hotel restaurant but this one had an exceptional menu, was well appointed and had a friendly staff."

"Resort was clean and modern. However, our room was not ready until after 4 PM. The biggest disappointment, however, was the pool experience. The resort was selling day passes, which resulted in many lounge chairs being marked “reserved” but sitting empty for long periods of time, making it difficult for paying hotel guests to find seating. I understand it was Fourth of July weekend and expected the resort to be busy. However, that doesn’t excuse prioritizing day-pass guests over people who paid to stay at the hotel. At one point, we wanted to step away briefly to use our breakfast credit, and the pool manager told us that if we were gone for more than 15 minutes, our chairs would be given away. Meanwhile, numerous “reserved” chairs remained empty for extended periods, and many of those guests never even showed up. It was frustrating to see hotel guests held to a stricter standard than empty chairs reserved for day-pass visitors. Overall, it felt like the hotel was more focused on generating additional revenue through resort passes than delivering a quality experience for overnight guests. As someone who stays at Hyatt properties regularly, this is the first Hyatt hotel I have no intention of returning to. It was disappointing because I expect better from the Hyatt brand. The one bright spot was the staff at the bars. Josh and Able were outstanding throughout our stay. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They were the highlight of our visit and the reason the experience was at least somewhat enjoyable."
