It was redeveloped as a luxury hotel in 2016 by architect May Sung, and since 2023, La Serena Villas has been part of the Kirkwood Collection portfolio of hotels. Founder and CEO Alex Kirkwood said it’s the perfect property to join the roster, as it has long been a “renowned Palm Springs destination for guests and locals alike,” offering incredible stays and memorable experiences. “With this new addition, we are not just adding rooms; we are crafting a haven where every guest’s needs are met with exceptional service from the moment of arrival to the last farewell,” Kirkwood said.
