The Weekend Palm Springs
111 S Via Las Palmas
Palm Springs, CA
A quiet suite in the desert's most exclusive neighborhood.
About The Weekend Palm Springs
The Weekend Palm Springs is a small mid-century property built in the 1960s and brought back through a top-to-bottom renovation into one of the city's most refined places to stay. It sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Old Las Palmas, the leafy, gated-feeling neighborhood long favored by Hollywood residents, a short walk from the north end of downtown. Owner-operator Mark Hermann runs it with a hands-on, host-forward touch that guests single out by name. The concept is simple and well executed: spacious suites with full kitchens arranged around a palm-shaded pool with mountain views, kept adults-only and quiet. There is no lobby buzz or resort scale here, just a handful of comfortable suites and a calm courtyard that feels more like a private residence than a hotel.
What The Weekend Palm Springs Is Known For
The Weekend gets the fundamentals exactly right, which is rarer than it sounds. The renovation is meticulous, the suites are genuinely spacious with real working kitchens, and the owner-run hospitality gives it a warmth that larger properties struggle to match. That combination of high-quality finishes, real space, and personal, present ownership is why it consistently ranks among the most highly regarded small stays in Palm Springs. It does not chase a gimmick; it simply executes a quiet, well-made stay better than almost anyone.

Worth Knowing

- Book ahead for high-season weekends and festival dates, when small Palm Springs properties fill quickly.
The Room
The rooms are full suites, spacious and thoughtfully furnished with plush, stylish pieces rather than standard-issue hotel decor. Each comes with a proper kitchen, including a full-size refrigerator, microwave, sink, in-room coffee maker, toaster, and a full set of dishes, utensils, and glassware, which makes longer and slower stays easy. Interiors read comfortable and well cared for, with quality bedding and clean modern lines under the mid-century bones. Everything feels maintained to a high standard, and every suite opens onto the courtyard and pool.
The Grounds
The courtyard centers on an outdoor pool ringed by palms, a calm, sun-filled space with lounge seating and open mountain views. Because the property is small and single-story, the pool area stays quiet and uncrowded, more private terrace than resort deck. Free self-parking is on-site, and the Old Las Palmas setting is residential and hushed: no traffic, no strip noise, just a short flat walk to the restaurants and bars at the north end of downtown. It is about a five-minute drive or a twenty-minute walk to the main downtown core.
The Experience
The Weekend is built for slowing down. Guests describe settling into a suite, cooking a simple meal in the full kitchen, and spending the day drifting between the pool and a shaded lounger with the mountains in view. The adults-only calm means the courtyard stays peaceful, and the small scale means the host knows who you are. Mark, the owner, is the detail people mention most: a genuinely present host who goes out of his way to make a stay feel personal. It is the kind of place where a long weekend stretches out and you find yourself in no hurry to leave.
