Among the new hotels giving Palm Springs’ historic lodgings a run for their money is Drift, a stylish boutique in a surprisingly quiet location just off the main drag. Instead of mimicking the neighbors’ midcentury modern aesthetic, the designers went for a minimalist industrial look, softening the white stucco buildings’ geometric lines with vibrant murals, handmade Mexican textiles, and an abundance of native succulents. The earth-toned rooms are airy and chic with raffia rugs and pale wood furnishings, while ultra-spacious suites, featuring full kitchens with stocked pantries, separate living rooms, and private terraces, are more like luxury apartments. Some face mountains and palm trees, others overlook a swimming pool bordered by cheerful yellow sun umbrellas and chaise longues. An all-day indoor-outdoor eatery serves Bajan dishes and mezcal, and all of Palm Springs’ main attractions are a short stroll or ride away on one of Drift’s complimentary bikes.
