1 Br Hotel Vacation Rental In Palm Springs, California

Tucked beneath the San Jacinto Mountains in the heart of Palm Springs, Monkey Tree is a remodeled boutique hotel where mid-century modern design meets a fashionable, color-soaked twist. Originally built in the 1960s by celebrated architect Albert Frey, the property has a fun and frenzied past — rumor has it that JFK and Marilyn Monroe stole away here for a tryst during one of their stays. Today, it remains the most beloved hotel in Palm Springs, drawing couples, friends, and groups looking to swap city noise for sunny days and electric desert nights.

This suite sits just steps from the communal pool and leans fully into the hotel's retro spirit, with vibrant accents, a vanity, and a standout bathroom featuring an oversized soaking tub and modern fixtures. Step outside to your own furnished 300 sq ft terrace, strung with overhead lights — the kind of space that turns a quiet morning coffee into a slow afternoon hang and, eventually, a long evening with friends.

Beyond the suite, the hotel's eclectic common areas are made for mingling. Soak in the shared hot tub, take a bracing dip in the cold plunge, or float the afternoon away in the pool. Provided board games and a walkable neighborhood packed with bars and restaurants mean the fun never has to end at your front door — though with a terrace this good, you might not want to leave it.

Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!
