Viceroy Palm Springs

This Viceroy is not like the Viceroy in Santa Monica or San Francisco. It's a spread-out, boutiquey, and likely renovated old 60's hotel. The vibe is friendly and mellow. There are 3 pools so it does not feel like a crowded resort. The staff was awesome and the food at Citron was delicious and surprisingly well-priced. The only drawback is the rooms. They are clean and nice, but definitely not luxurious. I have also stayed at the Colony Palms Hotel and I thought these 2 hotels were quite similar.

We were taken back to a glimpse of celebrity past as we enjoyed the complimentary bicycles with names of their own (Frank, Ava, Audrey, etc) .The Viceroy has kept an atmosphere of a time standing still yet authentically current as we are allowed to visit here and feel we are once again back in the glory days of Palm Springs. This is a beautiful property kept in vintage style with extraordinary staff.

The Viceroy is a hidden gem. Located near downtown Palm Springs, the hotel is set off of the street providing a secluded escape. The decor is wonderful mid-century modern and the grounds are beautiful. My trip to the area was for business and most professionals would choose a hotel with an in room desk and amazing wifi but after spending the day working, I was grateful for the poolside fire pits, cocktails at the bar and the delicious food of the Citron restaurant. All that being said, the hotel is a little older so there are some unique characteristics that come along with it including: showers only (I was really hoping for a tub), a wait time for hot water, tile floors, thin walls, and lack of storage in the bathroom. All in the all the hotel was clean, beautiful and had a great feel.

I stayed at the Palm Spring Viceroy a year ago and it was a wonderful experience. On my return visit this year, it was even better. I had a larger and better-located room looking out at the mountains. It was a beautiful, very quiet view. The staff at this hotel is the best--attentive, competent, very friendly. There are people working everywhere at all times and every one of them knows the guests and communicates in a very positive way. The grounds are kept perfectly; it is so pleasant to be outside in any area. The pools are kept at the perfect temperature. It was such a relaxing escape!

Valet and Front Desk were not in great shape and we're totally overwhelmed. I spent too much time at check-in, valet, etc. My room key stopped working, the door to my room wouldn't lock. The place needs some new management stat.

The Viceroy is at a great location, within a short walk from lots of restaurants/shopping/options. The staff at this boutique-type hotel was friendly. Generally, good atmosphere. However, there were tons of small to medium maintenance issues (visible/obvious stains, rust, serious chipping, major wear to decor and equipment, etc.) present. Accordingly three stars. Otherwise it would be four. Rather than voting "Not recommended," the Viceroy just barely gets a "Recommended."

I initially booked this stay as a quick last minute getaway, so desperately needed. I am an ardent fan of Kelly Wearstler, the interior designer with impeccable flair, so that was my initial draw to the Viceroy. And as expected, the decor of the lobby, the restaurant, the rooms, the spa and the pools definitely lived up to expectation. Staff was attentive and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and immaculate. I had a great experience at the spa and a really delicious lunch poolside. There was ice water and towels aplenty at all 3 of the pools, which is where I spent the majority of my time. In all, I cannot think of a place better to spend my birthday gift to myself.

It was a perfect one day get away! It was walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. Came on a Thursday and there was a village festival that was happening. Front desk was very informative about activities that was happening. Staff was friendly. Love to atmosphere and decoration. Definitely has an old Hollywood glam to it! I will definitely come back!

Do you want to get away from the city and enter an Oasis tailored to meet all your Palm Springs tanning needs, this hotel is for you. Only if you have style.

Beautiful decor, friendly staff and great location. I felt like this was a good value for Palm Springs.
