PLACES TO STAY IN THE CALIFORNIA DESERTS

Throughout the Desert Region, you can choose from a wide variety of accommodations to call home after a day of nonstop adventures. Lodging options abound for all budgets and vacation types—from camping inside national parks and cozy rustic cabins surrounded by acres of land to intimate bed & breakfasts, historic inns, stylish boutique hotels, and upscale full-service resorts.

If it’s a more offbeat escape you’re after, there are plenty of hidden gems and one-of-a-kind retreats. When you want to unwind in nature without actually roughing it, book one of the whimsically themed vintage trailers at Kate’s Lazy Desert or Hicksville Trailer Palace & Artist Retreat. If you’ve ever dreamt of sleeping in a teepee, you can do so in style at Cynthia’s near Death Valley—teepees feature plush linens, heated mattress pads and an eco-friendly cooling system for ultimate comfort.

With everything from retro midcentury modern hideaways to Mediterranean-inspired retreats and luxurious resorts with a myriad of amenities, Greater Palm Springs also makes the ideal base in which to explore the many attractions of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts.
