A Historic Palm Springs Stay, Reimagined.

Some places are simply somewhere to stay. The Desert Star is something more — a beautifully preserved piece of Palm Springs history where mid-century architecture, desert sunshine and modern comfort come together.

Originally built in 1956 and designed by renowned Palm Springs architectural designer Howard Lapham, The Desert Star began life as a classic desert motor lodge. Today, it has been thoughtfully restored into an intimate collection of six boutique studio suites for travelers who appreciate authentic design, tranquility and the unmistakable character of Palm Springs.

The property was officially designated a Class 1 Historic Site (#102) by the City of Palm Springs on October 5, 2016 — preserving its place in the architectural story of this iconic desert city.
