ARRIVE Palm Springs is the opposite of a resort: 32 rooms, no front desk, adults only at 21 and over, and a mid-century design sensibility on North Palm Canyon Drive in the walkable downtown corridor of galleries, restaurants, and shops.
The courtyard pool and hot tub are the social center of the property, flanked by fire pits that earn their keep on cool desert evenings. An on-site restaurant, coffee shop, and ice cream parlor handle food and drink without the overhead of a full-service resort. Rooms are clean-lined and compact, designed for travellers who use the room to sleep and the common areas to live. Check-in is digital, so plan accordingly when you arrive.
For golf, ARRIVE sits at the western end of the valley. Tahquitz Creek is four miles south and Escena is roughly the same distance, but reaching PGA West, Indian Wells, or Desert Willow means 20 to 30 minutes on Highway 111 or Interstate 10. There are no golf packages or course affiliations.
$150 to $250 in low season, $250 to $400 at peak. The property books out for BNP Paribas Open in March and Coachella in April, so reserve early for those windows. Choose ARRIVE if you want to separate your accommodation from your golf and experience downtown Palm Springs rather than a resort compound.
