PB hotel design editorial

A cluster of Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows in Palm Springs's Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood, originally built in the 1940s and long beloved by European expatriates as a kind of bohemian hideaway, was reimagined in 2017 as Villa Royale under the creative direction of designer Kelli Miller. The renovation kept the low-slung, terracotta-roofed compound intact while layering a graphic mid-century sensibility over its Mediterranean bones — a combination that feels less like a decorating exercise than a natural evolution of the Coachella Valley's design inheritance. The 38-room property works a confident tension between its Andalusian architecture — white stucco walls, arched cabana bays clad in black-and-white Moroccan-patterned encaustic cement tiles, saltillo terracotta floors running continuously from pool deck into guest rooms — and a mid-century modern furniture program that keeps everything from tipping into pastiche. Rooms are anchored by full walnut paneled headboard walls, low-platform upholstered beds in heathered grey, walnut credenzas with brass pulls, and slat-framed sofas in bold black-and-white stripe, olive wingback chairs adding an acid note against teal velvet drapes. The bar, Don Cuco, shifts registers entirely: a coffered oak ceiling, dark paneled wainscoting, a roaring fireplace dressed in the same encaustic tilework that appears poolside, and velvet club chairs around brass-legged tables create a room that carries the atmosphere of a private members' club transported, somewhat improbably, to the desert.

About

Set at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, Villa Royale is a 3.5-acre free-spirited, adults-only hideaway amidst the desert palms of the Coachella Valley. A secluded stomping ground reimagined where Spanish influence and architectural nuances of the Post-War period stand side-by-side with modern design appeal for which Palm Springs is known today. Within the Mission Revival Style villas and geometric tiled courtyards, Villa Royale channels the eccentric history of the destination and mesmerism of the landscape that has long lured wild, free-thinking and creative spirits to the Southern California desert. Studded with flowering desert flora and imbued with mid century decor and vintage furnishings, Villa Royale beckons travelers to the desert for raw beauty and escape. The hotel is comprised of two spaces; the main complex houses 31 of Villa Royale’s 38 villa rooms. Across South Indian Trail Road sits Villa Rosa with seven California ranch style villas that mirror the design cues and playful vibe of Villa Royale, offering travelers an even more intimate, secluded oasis.

"This past weekend, my friends and I visited Palm Springs for a birthday. We were invited to check-out and stay at the Villa Royale for the weekend. Not only was the location perfectly located to our festivities, but it was like a hidden gem inside. From the beginning of our experience come Friday to the last moments of leaving our room, we had experienced real service and appreciation as guests. I had called early morning on Friday to confirm our reservation, as it was our first time using Agoda. The staff, super friendly, and as I discussed our potential timeframe the gentleman that helped us was super accommodating and even allowed us to check-in a bit earlier given the heat and even when they were at full capacity. We were shocked. During our stay, the staff kept us up todate with Text messages, links, wifi passwords, menus, and accommodiations for our dogs. They even went as far as to put clean, like-new dog beds, bowls, treats and toys in our room to make sure sure our furry nuggets were comfortable. Never ever have we seen that. We were able to check-in early as promised, get to our room and even given some very tasty, refreshing and woo-hoo strong sangrias complimentry from the staff. The Villa is beyond exceptional, especially in person. It nicely spaced, 3 pools, great staff, and the food at the Del Rey, omg. I was just ugh. So GOOOOOD. The guests were all amazing and we even through a little pool party fun on our section of the hotel, while keeping it quite and enjoyable for everyone. Noise-level was perfect. It was just ... serene. JC our server on Saturday night, Brilliant human being and they were able to make our experience and stay just ... perfect. Aside from the 118 degree heat all weekend, we had the most enjoyable stay and we would highly recommend it. HIGHLY. This boutique villa is for sure a must stay experience. Step away from corporate hotels and experience a real Luxury comfort and exceptional adults only stay at the VIlla Royale, you won't be disappointed. We will be back in October... for sure. Top Value for a great price. We could not have been happier."

"We stayed at Villa Royale to celebrate our two year anniversary, and it was the perfect getaway! We were welcome with glasses of complimentary sangria and they surprised us with an upgrade to the Biscayne Suite, which made our trip feel even more special! It’s in a great location, only a 6 minute drive to downtown Palm Springs! The hotel and rooms are beautifully and uniquely decorated, giving the property so much charm and character. We also loved the intimate atmosphere. It never felt crowded like a typical resort, making it incredibly peaceful, quiet, and relaxing! One of our favorite touches was the complimentary milk and cookies from 8 to 10 pm every night. We looked forward to them every evening! They also include a light breakfast spread each morning with a coffee bar and mimosa bar. The breakfast had bagels, croissants, muffins, bread, cream cheese, jelly, yogurt, granola, and even lox with all the toppings, which was such a nice surprise! The food was fantastic! Poolside service was as easy as sending a text with your location. The club sandwich with homemade potato chips was amazing, and the hummus platter was delicious! Dinner at Del Rey was also incredible. We highly recommend the steak skewers, meatballs and lobster croquettes! To top it all off, the staff gave us a handwritten anniversary card and complimentary dessert, which was such a thoughtful gesture! We had an amazing stay and can’t wait to come back. We would absolutely recommend Villa Royale to anyone looking for a romantic and relaxing stay in Palm Springs!"
