The Art Hotel is the most colorful spot in town. This vibrant 1960 mid-century modern boutique hotel was carefully restored by its new owners, husband and wife team Jerry and Tracy Turco, and designed entirely by Tracy. The hotel’s eight rooms are all fully air conditioned and surround the central swimming pool, and the property lives up to its name — the works of local artists are on display across the grounds, and New York City street artist Damon Johnson created a large outdoor mural. Most rooms have a king bed, kitchenette, guitar, and vintage record player and curated vinyl collection.

Hotel Backstory

The Art Hotel is a technicolor dream come true.

Owned by artist, designer, and entrepreneur Tracy Turco and her husband, real estate developer Jerry Turco, the Art Hotel is a mid-century modern property that is all about color. There are eight rooms, each with its own vibrant and distinct flair. Most have a kitchenette or kitchen, and Tracy designed nearly all of the style elements, with her custom art appearing on everything from the wallpaper to the drapes.

“It’s real ’60s kitsch,” Tracy says. “It’s a time capsule.”

Built in 1960, the hotel went through a full restoration in 2019 before opening in 2020. The freshly-painted rooms surround the swimming pool, and all of them have a guitar, vintage record player, and curated vinyl collection, so guests can embrace their inner musician or DJ. Local artists have left their mark on the hotel, with their works on display in the rooms and across the grounds. New York City street artist Damon Johnson also stopped by to create an outdoor mural that is now a frequent backdrop in guest photos.

Once Tracy comes up with a concept, “I go with it,” she says. For the Art Hotel, she envisioned “pops of color” and artwork everywhere, because “people need fun, need themes.”The Art Hotel is a place where guests can create and dream, and even people driving or walking by are inspired by the property. The hotel’s sign, shaped like an artist’s palette, is already an iconic symbol — it’s been immortalized in a Palm Springs coloring book and appeared in thousands of Instagram photos.

“It’s public art,” Tracy says.
