Lucille Palm Springs is ready for its closeup after undergoing a recent re-imagination in Spanish Revival style. Formerly known as The Andalusian Court, Lucille Palm Springs’ new name is a nod to one of its most famous guests, actress and comedienne Lucille Ball and her husband, actor and bandleader Desi Arnaz, who were regulars at the property. Originally built in 1921, this boutique hotel has long been a place where people go to escape with its lush and tranquil surroundings, and Manager Alfredo Izaguirre has committed to making Lucille Palm Springs “the place to stay when one visits Palm Springs for relaxation.” Ownership of the property changed hands in June 2023 and renovations on the hotel’s bungalow suites and rooms began in the summer. All accommodations now feature luxurious king-sized pillow-top Stearns & Foster or Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, Frette linens, Samsung 43″ Frame Art televisions, Nespresso coffee machines and pods, and custom lavender-scented toiletries from local spa Grounded Bodyworks. The one-bedroom and two-bedroom bungalows also have impressive kitchenettes that are stocked with all of the essentials for a home cooked meal. Each space at the property has a unique and distinctive look with unparalleled privacy. At the same time, the original charm of this historic hotel has been maintained, including such beloved features as the private outdoor jacuzzi tubs. “To those who have stayed with us before and to new guests, be prepared for a beautifully updated and extremely well-curated luxurious experience,” Alfredo said. Lucille Palm Springs’ well-appointed bungalows and rooms come with complimentary beverages and poolside breakfast, including cappuccinos, lattes, and locally-made pastries. The staff is ready at all times to answer any questions about Pam Springs or guide guests to the best hiking trails, shopping, art walks, and restaurants. “We offer a higher level of personalized customer service,” Alfredo said. “We want our guests to feel like they are with friends or family members.”
