Minimalist mid-century motel with natural hot spring pools
"Referencing two aspects of classic Californiana at once — the mid-century modernist roadside motel and the natural hot springs that are the main attraction — and after extensive renovations, it’s down to just ten minimalist-chic rooms, lending a private-retreat vibe." - Mark Fedeli
"Hope Springs references two aspects of classic Californiana - the mid-century modernist roadside motel, and the natural hot springs that are the hotel’s main attraction." - Mark Fedeli

"The original sculptural sign outside Hope Springs Resort is a testament to its restored mid-century roots as a 1960s motel. In a world gone mad for gadgets and glam, Hope Springs is life peeled back to its essence. Simplicity rules: minimalist white bedrooms, organic teas and fresh fruits, quiet.The hotel has been lovingly restored to preserve its mid-century features: formica countertops and floors garnished with period-perfect rocking chairs and fake fur rugs. The laidback vibe invites you to make yourself at home: brew a cup of organic tea in the communal kitchen; watch the sunset turn the San Jacinto Mountains and Coachella Valley lavender from the back patio; turn in early. Luxury is a long soak in the satiny, mineral-rich water that bubbles up from a deep aquifer to fill 3 pools, and maybe an aromatherapy salt glow to slough off the layers of 21st-century stress. This restorative retreat will make you feel like you’ve really been away. Highs A great alternative to the typical Palm Springs experience; off-the-beaten path, yet within easy reach of great shops and nightlife Hiking in Joshua Tree National Park, famed for its other-worldly geological formations Crystal-clear, mineral-rich water directly from a natural aquifer; great for soaking tired muscles and boosting your metabolism Snazzy mid-century modern architecture and furnishings Adults only; the peace is part of the pampering Lows The laidback, early-to-bed vibe (no noisy pool jets after 10 pm!) and fend-for-yourself minimalism may be too low-key for some Likewise, the ‘unplugged’ ethos; if you must have room service or go into withdrawals without a TV, book elsewhere There’s only one massage bed, so ensure you schedule your scrub early Breakfast is the only meal available" - Joyce Copeland
"Hope Springs references two aspects of classic Californiana at once — on the one hand, the mid-century modernist roadside motel (whose resurgence we just can’t get enough of), and on the other, the natural hot springs that are the hotel’s main attraction. It’s the sort of thing that maybe should go without saying, but these days is too easily overlooked: the “springs” in Palm Springs is there for a reason. Nowadays it’s mostly a mecca for golfers, and mid-century architecture obsessives, but once upon a time this corner of the desert — specifically Desert Hot Springs, twenty minutes outside Palm Springs proper — was known for its geothermal waters." - Tablet Hotels
