At the centre of downtown Palm Springs, Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel rises seven storeys above Tahquitz Canyon Way, giving it a more urban profile than the city’s low-slung resort properties. Its 153 rooms reference desert modernism through light timber, blue accents, topographic artwork and floor-to-ceiling windows; many add balconies overlooking the surrounding streets or mountains. Juniper Table operates at ground level, while 4 Saints and High Bar move dining and drinks to the roof. The rooftop pool and broad terrace sit at the top of the building, with the San Jacinto Mountains visible beyond the city grid.
