Palm Springs' legendary Movie Colony Hotel has reopened its doors following a four-year renovation project. Now the boutique hotel offers 16 stylish rooms, breath-taking views of the San Jacinto Mountains, vintage style interiors and 'forward-thinking' hospitality to help guests experience a true Palm Springs retreat.

In its 84-year history, the property has welcomed A-list stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and Jim Morrison to sleep, relax and party within its grounds, but the Movie Colony Hotel is not only renowned for its celebrity guests. The property was also the first hotel designed by master architect Albert Frey, making it a key attraction for architecture lovers and those wanting to delve in to Palm Springs' rich modernist design history.

With this in mind, the property has been renovated and reimagined to enhance guest experience, while staying true to the hotel's mid-century modern heritage and design. Albert Frey's original 'two-story townhouses' have been recast as duplex suites featuring warm woods, vibrant colours, stylish modernist furnishings and private terraces.

With five room categories, all offering vintage charm seamlessly blended with contemporary appointments, Movie Colony Hotel offers a stylish boutique stay in a premier location.               

Guests wishing to soak up the Palm Springs sunshine and relaxing vibes will love the hotel's beautiful pool area, which offers stunning views of the San Jacinto Mountains, and the central courtyard, where guests can enjoy a delicious complimentary continental breakfast each morning and drinks from the patio bar in the evening.

Located at the edge of the famous Movie Colony neighbourhood, the hotel is perfectly positioned for those looking to discover the old Hollywood charm of the area that is home to the former vacation houses of A-list stars such as Cary Grant and Tony Curtis. Situated just steps away from the city's vibrant downtown, guests can easily explore its cool restaurants, bars, galleries and stores.
