Jazz Hotel Palm Springs

I found this gem through Expedia, and it was just as beautiful as in the pictures. I stayed in room #9, which was spacious and thoughtfully designed. I loved the small details, like a table for two by the window overlooking the pool and mountains. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the bed sheets, towels, and entire room were exceptionally clean! The lighting in both the room and bathroom was perfect—especially for applying makeup. The decor outside the room was just as charming, and the shared kitchen was well-equipped. The owner was super attentive, ensuring everything was restocked daily. The pool was also temperature-regulated, which was a great touch! The location is convenient, with restaurants and stores just a five-minute walk away. Downtown is about a 30-minute walk (slow pace). Communication was easy and quick, and the cleaning staff were friendly, helpful, and very attentive to guests’ needs. I even had a 30-minute conversation with other guests in the hot tub about how amazing this place and its staff are! The nights were peaceful, and I met some wonderful people during my stay. I highly recommend this place! I also encourage future guests to treat it with kindness and respect so it continues to be such a great experience for everyone. I will absolutely be coming back for my next winter scape from Canada.

Needed a beautiful getaway for my partners birthday, and Valentine’s Day. Stumbled across this beautiful location. It was such an easy process to check in. The room itself was beautiful, spacious and clean! The pool temperature was perfect, not too cold and not too warm. They have snacks available , coffee and water! This made is genuinely comfortable and felt like home away from home. The cleaning staff were so welcoming and friendly! I can’t wait to come back! Thank you!

A gem of a boutique hotel! Recently renovated. Tastefully done with great attention to the details. The place is spotless, the pool and spa are lovely and so clean, high end linens and a comfortable bed, PLUS it’s a short walk to restaurants while being far enough away to be peaceful and quiet. The owner is very attentive and helpful. The heating and cooling system was easy to figure out and worked well. We loved our stay.

Absolutely LOVED! I wish we could have stayed longer. The room upon walk in was so cute and smelled clean. They had fresh flowers too! There was a mini fridge and a sink area which was nice. I loved the fact that we had a little back patio with lights. The jacuzzi area was so cute and chill. The only thing I noticed was that the walls are paper thin and we could hear the people next to us, clearly. Not that big of a deal but something to note. I would love to stay here again! 10/10

We stayed one night at the Jazz during our West Coast road trip, and it was pure bliss. It was the best sleep my partner and I had during our two-week journey. The pool area was beautiful, and the lounge chairs were incredibly comfortable, perfect for melting into relaxation mode. The back patio was a lovely spot to unwind and enjoy our evening. Highly recommend!

I recently stayed at Jazz Hotel Palm Springs to celebrate my fiancé's 31st birthday, and our experience was nothing short of amazing. I had arranged for birthday decorations to be delivered beforehand, and the owner went above and beyond by setting everything up beautifully in the room before we arrived. The attention to detail was fabulous, and it made the celebration feel extra special from the moment we walked in. The hotel itself had a charming and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming, and the overall experience felt very personalized. Every corner of the hotel had a unique touch, blending style and comfort seamlessly. If you're looking for a place that offers both luxury and personalized service, I highly recommend Jazz Hotel Palm Springs. We will definitely be back!

Lovely find , well run little hotel. Very clean and nice touches with the little kitchen area with complementary drinks and snacks. Very quiet area about a mile from centre. The owner Annick was really nice and we will return.|The room was spacious and had ca private patio area at the back

Absolutely fantastic experience at Jazz. Clean. Well appointed. Quiet. Comfortable. Tons of complimentary snacks and drinks in the lounge. When we visit Palm Springs again this is where we’ll stay.

We had reservations for 3 nights couple of weeks ago. Drove in a bit early and the room was ready. Jim was very nice and helpful. The hotel wasn't full of people as everyone from memorial weekend had just checked out. The room wasn't fancy or new but it was clean and well kept. The kitchen has the bare necessities to get by for two people which is helpful. Not like we're going to be cooking with so many great restaurants around. The restroom was clean. We were glad that it's a dog friendly place and there was even a welcoming sign for our puppy. Unfortunately, my husband had a work emergency and we had to rush home earlier than planned. It's definitely a nice chill environment to enjoy with your spouse (and doggy).

Stayed at the Avanti last weekend and felt safe. THE AMBIANCE: Quiet, serene, clean, small boutique hotel. Perfect for what we were looking for during COVID-19. This was our first trip somewhere after everything shut down and reopened. THE ROOM: We stayed in a King Suite (#3) with a private patio. The room was spacious. The shower was awesome. It had one of those rain shower heads that I love. I had a very delightful shower after a hot day of being in the pool. I enjoyed every minute of it. THE SERVICE: Jim is great. He lives at the hotel. He offered us plates for the food we ordered for delivery without even asking. Very nice man. THE POOL: Clean. Big enough to lounge in and social distance since they didn't rent all 10 rooms (only rented half of them). We will be back!!

Highly recommended! BUT do read the details at the bottom. Exactly what we wanted to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary. Close enough to everything (just a .75 mile walk to the main area, if that), but far enough away so you're not in the chaos. Jim greets you at the door (great guy - as was the rest of the staff) and gives you the lay of the land. Intimate boutique hotel for adults and their dogs. There weren't a lot of pooches while we were there, but those we saw were well behaved. Free cruiser bikes (well maintained - really surprised how nice they rode!) if you won't want to walk to town or want to make a quick run to the super market). Easy parking, fast-wifi, nice care packages. We stayed in their basic studio, which had a microwave and mini-fridge. The back/private porch of our room was massive. The size of a small NYC apartment ;-) The hotel isn't brand new, but it's far from dated and very well maintained. Not the spot you to and party all night long, but you can sip a cocktail by the pool 24/7. All that said, it's a hotel for adults, which they explicitly put on their website, and only two per room. This isn't where you take a baby or cram five friends in for Splash House. There are other places better suited for that anyway.

Be careful about being on time to this property. We showed up to the hotel late to find the door locked and the phone unanswered. Also the parking lot was completely and unnervingly empty. Checked the confirmation email for our reservation to learn that being late without a call results in an automatic cancellation. They sure did protect themselves! A check in call, especially since they're managing 10 rooms would have been appreciated. I didn't read the fine print so I suppose they can turn up their noses and say it was all our fault. I suppose I had unfounded expectations for the industry in general. It certainly put a different tone on a holiday weekend scrambling for a new hotel in the middle of the night feeling the sting of the lost funds.

Property sold, old ownership not only did not contact those w rez on a holiday weekend, but also confirmed 3 days prior. You would think old or new owners would've done the right thing by contacting everyone BEFORE we flew in to town. Scrambling on a holiday weekend straight off the plane was ridiculous BS

Our experience at Avanti was amazing! We checked in late and were able to get in no problem with the instructions. Jim at the front desk was super helpful and recommended a great ice cream spot (important information) near where we were grabbing dinner. My dog Byrd also had a great vacation. Dog bowls, a towel, and a little welcome sign were all a part of the experience. The other dogs that were staying the same time at us all interacted and had a blast by the pool. I would definitely recommended this hotel to friends and look forward to staying here again!

DISCLAIMER: We stayed here years ago, and I'm finally getting around to writing this review now, so please keep this in mind. Also, most of what I'm about to complain about was COMPLETELY out of the hands of the people running this hotel, though the circumstances still must contribute to my overall score. First of all, beautiful hotel--very cozy, very peaceful, with a wonderful view of the San Jacinto Mountains in the background. We came here in the dead of summer, and it was blazing just the way we like it. The room was small, but well-furnished. As for the staff, they were great! Very attentive, very cool--they did their jobs like true professionals. My only complaint about the hotel itself is the air conditioner in the room, which was very loud, but AGAIN, this was years ago, so they might've been replaced by now. We WILL stay here again, and give Avanti Hotel another shot. I would give it a FOUR STAR if my review ended here. OK, time for the bad stuff. We unpacked, got into our swimsuits, and went out to the pool--there were other couples swimming, and most of them were from other countries, like Canada and England. It was an awesome vibe, everybody friendly, and my wife and I were looking forward to spending the day amongst such hospitable people. Then the Riverside Sheriff's showed up. Not to shoot anybody, thank god, but to enjoy their vacations as well--you see, cops are people too, after all. Three couples, all of them law enforcement, all of them yoked, jacked, loud, and ready to get shit-hammered under the sun. Now, I'm going to probably get a lot of crap for these next comments (you're generalizing people, not everybody is the same, you're anti-cop, blah blah blah), but I need to keep it real: most cops, especially veteran officers, are desensitized and aloof to the general public, with an us VS them mentality--in a way, they need to be like this, dealing with the worst of humanity on a daily basis. I get it. But hear me out, because I speak from personal experience: I had childhood friends whose parents were LAPD, I dated a cop, and I have a couple buddies who are currently in law enforcement--it takes a special person to put that uniform on, and the meek do not survive. Most cops are Type A personalities, and that's what showed up to Avanti--SIX APEX PREDATORS. The vibe in the pool instantly changed, the chatter ceasing. The cops eyed us as they went to their rooms, and ten minutes later they were all in the pool. It's not a small pool, but it suddenly felt small. They were loud, and drinking, and doing what people do on vacation--i'm not knocking them for that--but the atmosphere had definitely shifted. They were laughing, and telling stories about trannies in prison transitioning with tax payer's money, and the serine vibe pretty much went out the fucking window by that point. The tourists from other countries were polite, and engaged in some dialog with the cops, but soon people started getting out of the pool. My wife lasted twenty minutes, then went back to the room for the rest of the evening. I'm a crime buff, so I spoke briefly with them about the crime rate in Riverside County before joining my wife--we ended up ordering a pizza and staying in. The cops remained in the pool well into the night, and I never saw any of those friendly tourists leave their rooms again to go out by the pool, either. We shared a wall with one of the cop couples, and we heard them drunk fucking later that night, but the rattling air conditioner was loud enough to block most of it out, so kudos to noise in this one instance. We left as soon as we woke up, and I forgot all about this weekend until Facebook memories reminded me about this trip. Like I said, completely out of Avanti's hands. My wife and I WILL return, and hopefully the cops won't be there. On one hand, we were probably the safest hotel in the area that night, but all things considered, I would've gladly chosen danger instead.

Jim is a great host, who greeted warmly at the door. The room is very cute, and the bed is comfortable. It is not a five star resort, but makes up for it with its charm and romantic intimate feel.

Avanti hotel is a little slice of perfection. A small hotel with only about 12 rooms clustered around a small but sparkling clear swimming pool, the hotel is located about two miles from the bustling Palm Springs downtown. I'm extremely critical of hotels in general. If I'm paying decent money per night ($200 in this case) I want my money's worth. Here's how Avanti ticked all my boxes for a wonderful stay: First a delightful co-owner named Jim who will make you feel welcome from the first minute you meet him. Ask him anything or just reminisce about life in general. Then the rooms, designer tasteful with attention to detail like a cocktail shaker and mid century lamps and pillows. The bed is superb, firm and of high quality. The shower of cool black tile rock is a rain head which can be wimpy in some cases but this one goes full force. The room has an assortment of welcome snacks, a microwave and fridge. Our room had a good size absolutely private patio, great for a dog friend or nude sun bathing if you would. There is a strict two person per room rule which essentially turns this into an adult hotel. Pet friendly however! You can thoroughly relax by sitting around the pool and enjoy the beauty of the desert. Come here to unwind not to party. Included in the room price is breakfast. Weekdays you are given vouchers for nearby Rick's Restaurant which looks like a locals' hangout and is a trippy fifties throwback experience in and of itself. Food is fresh and good. On weekends Jim puts out a buffet of cereal, cheese, yogurt, peanut butter, toast, biscotti, coffee etc with Sunday papers. The Palm Springs area has a lot of hotel choices but the Avanti is a quiet, thoughtful oasis.

If peace and quiet are what you seek, this is the place. This small boutique hotel is conveniently close to downtown, but far enough away from the main streets to where you can hear a pin drop at night. It felt like we had the place to ourselves.... actually we did (slow week, I guess). Jim and the staff were very helpful and friendly, providing vouchers for breakfast (the continental breakfast not offered due to low occupancy) and offering suggestions on places to visit. The hotel is meticulously maintained and there are always towels by the pool and hot tub. We stayed in room 6, which has a full kitchen and a patio. Air conditioning is provided by a wall unit, which works well enough, but is a little noisy. Since we visited in mid-April, the ceiling fan was air conditioning enough. Open the windows at night, enjoy the cool breeze and listen to Sinatra over the poolside speakers..... my idea of vacation. To top it all off, the hot tub is just a few steps away. If you need a place to chill out for a few days, check out the Avanti

I am going to try to be as fair as possible with my review of the Avanti Boutique Hotel in Palm Springs. My wife and I traveled to Palm Springs to spend Thanksgiving weekend there with our two dogs. We were in need of a facility that had a kitchenette but also allowed dogs. We were trying to avoid a vacation rental because we wanted to have the leisure and "luxury" of room service and having a nice pool to chill at. The price point was a little bit high and the location was more north of places we like to hang out at but we had recently stayed at the Riviera and, let's be honest, it doesn't take that much time to get anywhere in Palm Springs, and the Avanti was literally a block south of the Riviera. Because of the price though my wife and I toiled over spending over $200 a night on a place we haven't stayed at. The photos looked amazing and the place seemed to be super dog friendly. The pool looked inviting in the photos and the rooms looked modern and clean so we booked 4 nights there. When we arrived we immediately felt somewhat duped by the reviews and photos of the property. Please note that I am not trying to write any kind of "scathing" review of the place. My experience there was overall decent, but it was not without overcoming a more than a few details that are left out of any reviews we read about the place. First of all the place is a converted apartment complex. It is very small. All the units, probably about 12 of them, surround the small pool/ courtyard in the center. The grounds was clean and well kept. But it was a little claustrophobic, because of the size of the place. All the units are right on top of each other so there is no sense of privacy. Especially in the morning when you have early birds talking right outside your "apartment" window because that's where the pool is. The room seemed clean. But upon closer observation there were cobwebs all over the room ceiling corners and floors. I noticed that every time I used the bathroom I would see and kill three to four ants, the same was noticed by my wife as well. We investigated and pretty quickly we realized that the bathtub had large cracks around where the sealant should have been and the ants were coming in from there. We ended up taping the perimeter of the bathtub with some random tape we had. The hardwood floors were a nice touch but walking around on them I noticed that my feet would be thick with dirt and black. I ended up "mopping" the entire unit with a wash rag because it was grossing me out. There random clusters of dead bugs. The kitchen is a full kitchen but not fully stocked. My wife and I spend our first night there dusting and cleaning our room. The tub had rust flakes all over and our toilet clogged our first night there. The onsite manager is super sweet and the complimentary bicycles were great to have and the pool and hot tub were very clean, but I really think the place needs more attention. I mean the place is not a dump but for not having amenities like a fitness center and our room not being clean, I don't think its worth the price they are asking per night. So if you want a getaway that feels more like staying in an apartment away from your apartment then consider this place. One more note, I've always known that north PS can get a little "shady", I mean I'm coming from Los Angeles, so I haven't really seen "shady" in PS, but just a note for you all especially travelers with dogs, around the corner from this place is a drug recovery center and there are stray cats everywhere. Wide angle photos really can make a space look larger than it is. One last note, the pool was said to be heated at 82 degrees, it was not. In fact i doubt it was heated at all. So there you go.

I can't say enough great things about our stay here. The price is unbeatable, for starters. The fact that this is an adults-only hotel is beyond awesome. We were able to actually relax at the pool (without screaming children running all over!) and Jim, the owner, brought us complimentary Happy Hour cocktails, which only made this already great mini-vaca better. We brought our dogs, which were not only allowed, but welcomed and accommodated. I highly recommend this hotel and we will be back for sure!

Love this place! It is a nice intimate, and most importantly, CLEAN atmosphere--perfect for R&R! We had our own back patio (I think all units have), which was a nice option if you were not in the mood to socialize, but want to be outdoors. The pool is 24 hours, but keep in mind quiet time is at 10 pm so keep it to inside voice when in the pool area after hours. Oh! And they are a dog friendly place! Even more awesome! The owner, Jim, is super friendly, accommodating, and considerate! He is very knowledgeable about things to do and see around town, and we had great conversations with him. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for some peace and quiet.

This the best kept secret, period! I rarely write reviews on lodging because anyone knows that a few housekeeping issues may come up. BUT, I've been staying at the Avanti a lot and after reading a 2 star review that was longer than some novels I've read -- seriously some guests have time to spend reviewing the cupboard doors -- ?? This is a fantastic place and those who love it will review the truly gracious host, the property, and the vibe and keep coming back. Please tell all your friends my closet door was just perfect.

My wife and I made last minute plans to go to Palm Springs for the holiday weekend. We searched for pet friendly hotels and Avanti was one of the top rated in the area. We have never stayed at a boutique hotel but after reading the reviews we decided to give it a shot. Reservations were easily made online and check-in was quick and painless. We were greeted by Jim, the owner, and he was very welcoming not just to us but to our fur baby Lucy as well. We stayed in room #2, and the decor was very nice and felt more like home than most hotel rooms do. There were complimentary snacks for us and he also brought a goodie basket for Lucy too. He was also quick to recommend some pet-friendly restaurants in the area and told us about the free shuttle bus that runs up and down the main strip in town. Being a small hotel, the pool never felt overcrowded and the other guests who were there were all friendly too. They host a poolside happy hour from 5-6pm and treat you to 2 free alcoholic beverages of your choice. Another nice touch was the cooler full of complimentary soft drinks and water that they kept stocked 24/7. Overall, we were more than happy with our stay there. Jim and Boxley were always around to help out or answer any questions about Palm Springs as far as things to do or places to eat. They really did make us feel more like guests in their home instead of customers. I would definitely recommend Avanti and we are already planning a return trip in the winter!

I cannot say enough about this hotel. I surprised my boyfriend with a birthday weekend getaway from LA. When we arrived Jim greeted us, gave us a tour, and pointed out some popular spots to visit in Palm Springs. He was so welcoming and very kind. You can tell that he really cares about the hotel and takes the time to make sure that it is kept clean and beautiful. We helped ourselves to the breakfast spread each morning and spent a good chunk of the day at the pool, which was super clean and relaxing. Definitely book a room here and you won't be disappointed. Thanks again, Jim!

I give this hotel 5 stars. I have heard people saying g good thing. However when the chips of our town was down during the coronavirus. This hotel owner stepped up to the plate and helped people. He gave out supplies that people were having trouble finding in stores. He did not charge a penny for anything. People that could not get out he made sure they got them. He either delivered them himself or gave them so someone that could get them to the people. This man is in my eyes is a hero. Thank you Jim.

A lovely and charming hotel run by the kindest man. I've driven by a hundred times but have never had the pleasure of staying. I now live in the neighborhood and happened upon a message on a community bulletin board posted by the manager (owner?) Jim. When the coronavirus hit town and all hotel guests cancelled their bookings, Jim kindly offered to give away much-needed supplies and toiletries that the hotel had in stock to the members of the community that were in need, even offering to deliver them personally. His kindness will not be forgotten and I will for sure encourage all my out-of-town friends to stay at this hotel when business resumes! Thank you Jim!!!

I came to escape the gray wet weather at home and finish a big project. Needed a place that would be peaceful and relaxing, this was it! Great location, comfortable, clean, beautifully updated room, sparkling pool. Jim was the ultimate host-always in service to his guests. I'll be back soon!

This boutique hotel experience is as cozy as it gets for a desert stay. This stay was unforgettable because it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The amenities are on point, the customer service is genuine, and the hotel itself is both quaint and inviting. It was hard for us to peel ourselves away from the pool area and start our day seeing as it is fully loaded with everything you already need to enjoy a sun soaked day in the company of a good book or partner. They do a complimentary breakfast, where you can kick start your day poolside with some bites and coffee. Our hotel room itself was so clean and spacious. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to make our own small meals and make drinks for ourselves in the evening. The water pressure was fierce in the shower and you even get the luxury of snuggling into the robes that they provide you. There is not a lot of noise here, which allows the conditions to truly make it comfortable and homey. It really comes down to fine details and simple pleasures when it comes to creating a lasting memory for your hotel experience and this hotel stay was one that knew exactly that formula.

Ended up being a bit disappointed in this hotel. Between Yelp and Booking.com the reviews for this place are pretty good. And the photos make this place look extremely nice which made it a bit deceiving. The room we stayed in was underwhelming. The bed was squeaky and not very comfortable. The floors were not clean, because every time you crawled into bed there would be dirt in the bed from your feet. We also had a lovely encounter with a giant cockroach in our bathroom. (photo uploaded) We did have our own private patio, but there was not much to it. The common areas and the front entrance are very nice. The owner is kind enough to give you free bikes to borrow, snacks, breakfast, and a happy hour from 5 to 6. It was an okay place to stay, but there are definitely nicer hotels in the area.

I love stumbling across hotels like this. It's somewhere where you know you'll come back to again and again - just like the other guests at the hotel do. With only a dozen rooms or so the hotel is small but has everything you could possibly need - a full kitchen and private patio, a gorgeous bathroom with rain water showerhead, bicycles, free iced sodas and waters by the pool, a hot tub, a wine and beer hour... Everything is taken care of! The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated (love the full length mirror) and beds comfy. Each room is situated around the little swimming pool, with a pair of sun loungers outside your front door. The layout of the pool and rooms around it feels intimate and perfect for a wedding party to stay all together after a local wedding, or a large friends group all wanting to spend time hanging out in a low-key relaxing hotel. Jim and the staff here are delightful and SO helpful - it feels more like youre staying with old friends than in a 'hotel'. I found all the other guests similarly sweet and friendly. In short, thanks to Jim and his team we had a heavenly stay at The Avanti. Beyond relaxing and such good vibes here. We will be back!

Nice boutique hotel. It has 10 guest rooms total. Jim is very nice and was running the show while we were there. He checks in on guests, talks to them, checks the grounds, and makes himself visible. They have sunscreen and tanning oil out, complimentary for guests. Complimentary cold sodas and water, as well. Happy Hour is free from 5-6pm. The Avanti offers a pool and jacuzzi. The pool in in the center, in front of everyone's door. The jacuzzi is semi-privately located in back. Our room was nice and cozy. The free snacks were a nice touch. The wall mounted ac is one of your best friends. There is a city shuttle (The Buzz) that runs for free into downtown Palm Springs Thursday-Saturday 11am-1am. Jim makes sure to tell you about it and how close the stop is to wait for it. The hotel is decently located. It's a 20 minute or so walk into downtown (if you opt not to take The Buzz). Walk using Palm Canyon Rd. (Much nicer street/walk) Spent a nice and relaxing couple of nights at The Avanti.

This place is seriously the best!! Jim the owner is awesome, a true lover of dogs. Great accommodations and the service is top notch. Great rooms and happy hour every day from 5-6 which means free delicious cocktails. We don't even try and stay anywhere else when we come to Palm Springs, great pool, and great vibes. This place is not for rude people, of you are cool then you should stay here. We highly recommend this place to everyone we know!

If you want to swing like Sinatra before hitting the links or just hang out poolside with the rest of the Rat Pack, I can't think of a more appropriate setting than the Avanti. It has that retro-cool, mid-century vibe that makes you want to wear your JFK button but with the Asian-influenced West Elm touches that make it feel contemporary. It's a compact property, just 11 rooms surrounding a classic kidney-shaped pool with a fire pit nearby for those after-dark cocktails that Dino liked to have with Peter Lawford (photo: http://bit.ly/1zdYCea). No, I don't think Marilyn ever stayed here, but she would have loved it as long as she could have her drama coach in the next room. For just $154 per night, Jamie W. and I stayed in room #2 which was just right for us since we weren't planning to cook on the premises. We were on vacation after all, man. Instead, we had a large private patio in the back with a table and chaise lounge, so we could plan our heist just like in "Ocean's 11" (photo: http://bit.ly/1wlQtmL). Oh wait, 11...I get it. Maybe the property owners made 11 rooms on purpose. I should have asked as Jim and Bonnie were really nice and accommodating. Since we arrived after midnight from San Diego, Jim left us a passcode for a lockbox to let us in, but he was still up and welcomed us in. There's a free breakfast bar in the morning. No eggs or bacon but plenty of toast, cereal, yogurt and fruit to tie you over until your three-martini lunch (photo: http://bit.ly/1vInxlf). They have an ice chest of few sodas and even a happy hour if you're around in the evening. And for those private moments with your loved one, you can enjoy the hot tub around the corner in the back (photo: http://bit.ly/1uuLxJ6). The location is just off Indian Canyon Drive about a mile away from downtown, but it's walkable if you're motivated like we were to avoid the traffic during the Festival of Lights Parade. Otherwise there's more than enough parking in front for all those day trips we took to Joshua Tree and up Mt. San Jacinto. Speaking of which, there is quite a view of the San Jacinto mountains to enjoy as you lounge next to the pool (photo: http://bit.ly/1wicEeP). It's dog-friendly but probably not all that kid-friendly which frankly I liked. After all, I mean Frank wouldn't bring Frank Jr. and Nancy to the Avanti, maybe Ava but not the kids. By the way, were it not for the classic touches, I would have called this place a "motel" which brings back a flood of memories for me when my dad took us on road trips across the country. But I wasn't missing the pool slide this time. Looking for a ring-a-ding time? The Avanti's the happening spot, Charley.

This is hands down our favorite motel in Palm Springs. We love small retro motels that have a cool vibe, a nice and quiet pool, breakfast and nice people - and The Avanti is it!!!! We have stayed here twice now and will continue to keep coming whenever we are in Palm Springs. Rooms are very nice, with comfy furniture and linens, modern bathrooms with great smelling toiletries and free WiFi. The pool has floats, sunscreen and mags. happy hour with free cocktails every day. The location is perfect and very close to downtown. And Jim the owner is fantastic! He will help you with anything you need. Highly recommend and we will for sure be back next time we are in PS!

The staff was very friendly, the room and common area was well maintained, and the hotel was small with not many rooms which makes it quaint and relaxing. Dog friendly with no strict rules made the stay more enjoyable.

This hotel has been a great dog friendly place to stay and we've become regular guests. Jim's attention to details and making our stay always comfortable is amazing. They always welcome our dogs with treats and write their names on their welcome chalk board which is the first thing we see when we walk arrive. We will continue to come back for birthdays and anniversaries and are so happy that we've found this gem in the desert!

Like some of the other reviewers here, I want to write a raving review but then everyone will want to go here and what we loved was the peace and quiet! I travel extensively on business, so wanted a place that I could hang out with my husband and our 2 dogs and this was the PERFECT place! 12 rooms all facing the pool and lots of amenities that you pay for at other hotels. No resort, valet or parking fees here! From the moment we arrived (and our 2 dogs names were on the chalkboard welcoming them next to the doggy water bowl), you are made to feel welcome and taken care of immediately. After checking in, Jim will give you a tour of the property and all the little extras they provide --- like free wi-fi, free bottled water and soft drinks poolside, free snacks for humans in your room. For the 4-legged family members, they have doggy towels, water bowl and snacks in the room too! There is music, newspapers, magazines, and great towels on the loungers by the pool. Happy hour starts at 5pm and you will know when the "martini light" is on! The jacuzzi is secluded and you can see lots of stars at night (if you wait for the motion light to go off). The complimentary breakfast is ready for you at 8am and is a nice selection. They have bikes you can borrow (we brought our own) and maps of the location that show you where all the stars live! The rooms themselves are fully stocked, including art that the owner has collected (our painting was from a hotel bar he used to frequent in the Asia Pacific region). Robes, designer name toiletries, and down comforters and pillows adorned our room. Our room was cleaned by 11am! Great staff and owners here, I can not say enough good things about them. Let's just say after 2 days of R&R here, it felt like we had been gone a week. All the other guests we met were super-friendly and dog-friendly too. Run, don't walk, to book your time at this desert boutique hotel jewel today!

Avanti is a small boutique hotel located a few blocks away from downtown Palm Springs. Sort of an adult only place since no one under the age of 16 is allowed. I believe it is also pet friendly. When we arrived we were welcomed by Jim, the owner who gave us a brief tour of the hotel before showing us to our room. The pool and spa is open 24 hours. Your room rate includes continental breakfast, beverages located in a cooler near the pool, room snacks and water, and happy hour from 5-6 pm (beer, wine and margarita). There are also bikes and helmets you can borrow. The room was decent in size with an asian-inspired decor. Each room has a patio and view of the pool. My only complaint is that the A/C unit was a bit noisy, so it took me a while to fall asleep when it came to bedtime. Avanti is definitely a pleasant place to stay.

There were things we REALLY loved about this place and then there were a few other things... Our first impression was good. Outside of the hotel is super cute. But, check in time is 3:00. We thought we would be able to check in early and hang out by the pool, like every other hotel in Palm Springs. But... Not at the avanti. They ended up letting us in at 2, but we had gone to Palm Springs to hang out at the pool, so I was a little sour about it. We grabbed drinks somewhere downtown for a while, but not really the same, right? Anyway, we got there and the people were super nice- and the doggie is amazing-got the tour of the place- it's super cute and intimate and perfect for a quiet weekend in Palm Springs. Perfect for a couple. And doggie friendly! 24 hour pool/jacuzzi little fire pit, free snacks in the room, breakfast, mellow tunes at the pool (no DJ scene yay!) ... Loved our stay. Except- the AC unit is crazy loud. I can sleep anywhere- airplanes, cars, kitchen floors- but had trouble sleepin with the AC on. Luckily it's October and like 75 at night, so we opted for the fan. Super sheer curtains, so don't plan on sleeping in. And, a another reviewer commented, kitchen, but no real cookware- not a big deal. I don't cook on vacay anyway! But, if you're planning to, being your own blender, booze, etc... Convenient little mini fridge :) I would definitely stay there again, but don't show up before check in!

Great Boutique hotel, no kids and pet friendly! Jim greeted us by name and was a wonderful host the entire time we were there. Easy to talk to and gave us some ideas for dining in town. We stayed in room #88 (ask Jim why it's numbered 88), it was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. It also had complimentary water, sodas and snacks! The room had a wall mounted air unit that we didn't use because the breeze from the back patio was perfect! We enjoyed the pool during the day and jacuzzi late night, especially since there were no kids running around being noisy! From 5pm to 6pm they serve FREE mixed drinks! I had a whisky lemonade and my wife a margarita.. I tried to tip for my drinks and they wouldn't take it! Great service that really got my wife in a good mood.... ;-) We also borrowed the beach cruiser bikes one day and had breakfast at Cheeky's, it was a perfect way to start the day! I would however recommend riding across the the main strip and coming down the residential streets since the main street near the hotel is not bike friendly. This is definitely going to be our favorite place to stay when visiting Palm Springs, can't wait to get back and maybe do some hiking that one of the other guest mentioned.

We had another wonderful stay at the Avanti Hotel. Three nights and days of relaxing quiet. The Avanti is geared towards adults so there were no kids running around. Very soft smooth Jazz is all we heard. We will be back.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a hotel on the more mellow side. This place worked out wonderfully. We stayed in room #3 & we were not disappointed! The room was lovely... there was a kitchenette in our room, which was perfect because we brought plenty of drinks to hold us over for the weekend. My boyfriend is a smoker, so the patio was a plus. The air conditioning worked A-OK... Which is completely necessary because of the Palm Springs heat. Yes, the hotel is small. I was a bit surprised by the size of the pool, it is on the smaller side... but it was never full during our stay. I think most people that come to this hotel are couples... which makes sense since all the rooms only accommodate two people. They offer breakfast, as well as a happy hour... and the public pool area is always stocked with beverages! Location was good as well, everything was a 5 minute uber ride away. We will be back!

The Avanti is exactly what we expected! Great Place to reconnect with a loved one!

When we have friends come to town, we send them here. a total win - win. its a boutique property thats not dated, like most in PS.. but, more like a JW, with kitchenettes, a great vibe, and wow...pet friendly.

I'm giving this 4 stars because the bed was not comfy, BUT we loved this hotel and would definitely stay again. We had the place to ourselves. It's secluded pool and spa was our own little paradise. We liked the personal touches, free snacks, and bfast. The shower was awesome. The location is great- just a 5 min walk to the main part of downtown PS.

I need to start off with my reservation needed changing at the last minuite for I was not bringing my dog so the owner made it a very hassel free experience. When I walked into the room, I was greeted with a FREE snack basket as a entered my suite which I thought was a classy touch. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished with a traditional contemporary style. The bedding seemed to be crisp white percale sheets of high quality. There was a Ecru toiletry kit and fluffy bathrobes. Every morning we had a robust continental breakfast by the pool and complimentarly sodas, fruit juices and waters in an ice chest by the pool available all day and night. There is also complimentary NEW beach cruser bikes to check out with helmets. The vibe is VERY quite and intimate with Frank Sinatra songs quietly bathing the pool area. I found the other guest friendly and the staff helpful. Now, because it is a small boutique motel there are some trade offs so if you're the person who like staff available 24/7 to cater to your every whim, a party vibe with lots of people to meet, you may be a bit disappointed but if you're the person who simply needs a place to lay your head at night or lounge by a quiet pool and is pretty self sufficient when you travel, this is your place. I would highly recommend the Avanti and I will be going back. I struggle to find drawbacks for me. All I can come up with is some of the paint on the walls need some freshening up, my toilet seat had a chip in it, the bed could have been a King size and no convenient power outlets by the bed and since there is only one small air conditioner for the entire suite I am thinking it may not be enough in the summer months when PS hits 110-115 degrees.

My stay at Avanti really wasn't like staying at a hotel, but more like being a guest at a relative or friend's house. (a relative or friend who's actually happy to have you visiting) At only 12 rooms it's very small but the rooms are of decent size. Everything works, comfortable bed, quiet, even a cool little private patio for pets or for working on your bicycle if you're in town for the annual bike events. Jim (manager) is very chill and obviously very proud of the place he runs and will make sure you are comfortable, safe, and most of all, enjoying your stay. Avanti is close to downtown but far away from it's hustle and bustle; just a healthy walk (about a mile) or cheap Uber ride away. Parking may be a bit of an issue if you have a trailer or you and your guest(s) are showing up in multiple cars. And also, as mentioned in other reviews, there are other hotels in the area that are better suited for children, nor is it a party hotel. Just a quiet out-of-the-way place for adults to recharge after a long day of activities. I will return.

My wife was super excited to stay at the avanti tonight. After we have stayed at numerous hotels in the area we decided to check it out because of the great yelp reviews. Upon arrival the guy who checks her in informed her we were the only guests and had the place to ourselves. After unloading all of our belongings the same guy who did the check in came and told us because our baby was with us they would no longer accommodate us. I travel for work and my wife and son have stayed in many hotels with me and I've never heard of such a thing. The manager Jim who was sending all the messages didn't even have the audacity to come tell us himself. They left us in the 100 degree heat looking for someplace else to stay with my year old son and no valid explanation. We have spoken to other hotels management and have been informed this is bs and they weren't allowed to do this.

This is our second time back because we loved it so much the first time! Jim, the owner is so nice and will do anything for you to make your stay perfect! Each room is unique and we have chosen room 6 to stay in both times because it has a full kitchen with a private patio, room 1 also has a full kitchen but no private patio. The vibe is chill. What I also love is that when we arrive we have snacks waiting for us in the bedroom, along with all of the free soda and water we would like in an ice cold chest out by the pool (which is just outside your front door). This place is tiny and perfect!

Loved this place. Jim is a wonderful, thoughtful host. Check in and check out was easy. Place is clean and quiet. LOVED that it is dog friendly..juanito had a great time as well. We will definitely be back again! I am so glad we found this wonderful hidden gem in palm springs :)

Dogs lounging in chairs around the pool and even floating on a raft IN the pool, but if you have a kid, they will KICK YOU OUT! Not just kick you out of the pool, but kick you out of the hotel!!! (There is no fence around the pool area). This is outrageous! Jim the owner, lied about the circumstances and changed the hotel policy to "Adult Only" after the fact, in response to negative reviews! There are so many choices when booking in Palm Springs, I encourage anyone reading this review to look elsewhere.

My wife and I needed a getaway from the stresses of work and kids for a long weekend and came across the Avanti based on reviews. I must say that we were very happy with our three night stay. Check in was easy and we received a brief tour from Bonnie. Complimentary snacks in the room, and water and sodas by the pool was a big plus. The room itself was very nice, wood floors, tiled bath, flat screen TV - all the amenities you would expect a modern hotel to have. The private patio out back was great, we enjoyed breakfast each morning out there. I do have to say that the wall A/C units were very loud. And although I can sleep through earthquakes, sirens you name it, I had a hard time sleeping here. The beds were nice enough, but maybe it was the combo of the extra loud A/C and super sheer curtains letting the sun in that did it. Not sure. Also would be nice if the TV were able to get HD channels. You have these nice 42 inch TVs playing basic cable taking up 1/2 of the screen. But we weren't there to watch TV so no biggie. The pool area is fantastic! Plenty of loungers with great custom towels on them. Plenty of areas for sun or shade and lots of fresh towels available. It isn't the biggest pool in the world, but more than enough for a place with 11 rooms. My wife and I enjoyed the private spa area as well each night. Even though the hotel was booked, we were the only ones there each night. Service was definitely top notch! If I had to nitpick, I would have liked to be a little closer to the action downtown. It is about a mile and half walk, which is rough in the summer. On the plus side, the street the hotel is on is very quiet - so you take the good with the bad. I would highly recommend the Avanti! Thanks Jim and Bonnie!

We ECHO the previous review! This place is a gem. Well kept and well run with optimal guest experience priority one. Comfortable, relaxing, fun...and only 11 rooms. Jim makes it even more genial: great guy, no BS, and really interested in his customers. Just the getaway we needed.

We had a great stay here. Host Jim treats you like a queen. Our room was big and clean. The hotel is cozy, the spa and pool are nice and the ambiance is relaxed. Comes with complimentary snacks at the room, breakfast and cocktails at happy hour. Will sure come again!!!

Great boutique hotel good for couples who are looking for a quiet and calm place to stay without the business of a large hotel...also very decent pricing! My husband and I have been coming here for a few years now and even got engaged poolside at Avanti. They have an awesome continental breakfast with a ton of choices, and also daily happy hour with great drinks. The rooms even have free snacks, bar supplies, and toiletries. I was sad to see the negative review by Bridget B...oh, and the three other people that have never been hotel guests that she obviously got to come on and promote her false review (they confirmed they know each other). I am guessing the confusion on her part was that she went through Hotels.com...I have driven all the way to Vegas to find out a room I booked through them was never reserved for us! But don't take it out on Avanti, Bridget! And you contacted the city? Wow. 1. You need to understand that just like restaurants and bars have different liquor licenses and insurance for what and who they can host, hotels or places with pools have different types of insurance, too. For example, if they would allow kids, they would have to have a full time lifeguard, etc. 2. They did not change their website after your visit, as we have came here for years and have always seen and known their policies. So has every other guest. You booked through Hotels.com and that's why you didn't see it. Also, screenshots? Why would you have taken screenshots? Where are they?? The below copy has always been in their policies. They also ask you when you book with them about how many people are staying. "Occupancy: 2 people to a room regardless of age. If additional people arrive, we will check them into an available room at that day's rate. Please understand that no roll-away beds are available. ADULTS ONLY. NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 14 IS ALLOWED ON PROPERTY AT ANYTIME."

Very nice stay at Avanti Hotel. The owner, Jim, was very hospitable and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and the friendly atmosphere. We also appreciated the complimentary snacks and happy hour. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Great Boutique Hotel! We've stayed at the Avanti for almost 5 years now and wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else. The on-site owner is super nice and makes sure everything is perfect for your stay - even serving happy hour every evening for his guests. One of the best things about this hotel is the 2 person per room limit, which eliminates the screaming kids and loud parties. We've met so many nice people (and pets) relaxing around the pool - it's just been wonderful.
