The Monkey Tree Hotel by AvantStay

17 Glam Boutique Hotels in Palm Springs, From Spanish Revival Villas to Historic Escapes for Hollywood Stars

"For a budget-friendly hotel that still has Palm Spring's signature midcentury style, Monkey Tree hits the mark: the building was designed by legendary architect Albert Frey, and the rooms are decorated with colorful period details. The adult-only hotel is largely self-service—it's managed by short-term rental company AvantStay— but that's what helps keep prices pretty low. There's no formal check-in; you use a keypad to let yourself into one of 16 rooms. And while there's no on-site restaurant or bar, you're allowed to BYO food and drinks to the pool, where you'll also find lawn games like croquet."
