Life House Palm Springs
Palm Springs' Latest Hotel Unveils Stunning Desert Retreat with Insta-Worthy Pool, Lush Garden, and Chic Cocktail Lounge
Palm Springs, known for its chic midcentury modern hotels that pay homage to the town's glamorous 1960s era, is about to welcome a new addition to its roster of desert retreats. Life House Palm Springs, set to open its doors on November 2nd, seamlessly blends the allure of Hollywood's golden age with Japanese influences and botanical aesthetics, promising a stay worth adding to your Palm Springs itinerary.
Once a 1960s property, Life House Palm Springs has undergone a complete transformation courtesy of Kockum Design studio. The result is a sleek interior reminiscent of the Mad Men era, with a color palette inspired by the surrounding desert—think burnt oranges, rustic tones, deep greens, and calming taupe. The lobby impresses with an elegant midcentury modern lounge area and an agave green check-in desk set against a striking geometric-tiled cork floor.
In the guest rooms, custom-designed fabric in sunset hues adorns the headboards of oak-wood beds, complemented by sconces that draw inspiration from Japanese silk fans.
The hotel's beating heart is its vibrant pool area, where vintage-inspired chaise lounges and sun umbrellas invite relaxation. For those seeking more seclusion, a selection of cabanas with fringed canopies is available. The pool experience is elevated by Minerva's, the hotel's signature eatery, boasting a poolside bar and restaurant offering California flavors crafted with seasonal, local ingredients.
Adjacent to the pool, guests can explore the cactus desert garden clubhouse featuring a gazebo, fire pits, and plush seating—ideal for post-dinner drinks. Inside Minerva's, an elegant speakeasy lounge awaits, complete with dining booths, a lacquered ceiling, and eye-catching House of Hackney floral wallpaper. Life House Palm Springs offers a unique blend of timeless glamour and modern luxury in the heart of this iconic desert destination.
