The Top 2 Hotels in Desert Hot Springs

A mid-century motel wrapped around the geothermal springs that gave this corner of the desert its name, Hope Springs returns you to an era when people came here for the water itself. The architecture is period-perfect, the pools are naturally heated, and the whole enterprise suggests a California that existed before golf courses colonized the conversation.

A nine-room holdover from 1949, Miracle Manor sits between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs with the unhurried air of a place that has earned its ease. Warm textures and a naturally heated pool suggest that some corners of the desert still offer what they promise.
