Talavera Palm Springs

Tucked away perfectly between booming Downtown Palm Springs and the serene San Jacinto Mountains in the historic Tennis Club District, Talavera Palm Springs embraces old school charm with an eclectic flair in a lush tropical setting.

Each of our eight spacious suites boasts a private patio and jacuzzi with spectacular mountain views, allowing the guest experience to become one that is truly secluded and restorative.  Each suite has a different “personality” and is decorated with antiques from around the world as well as both local and international artwork. Talavera Palm Springs is a blend of elegant and funky, tranquil and exciting.

The property is surrounded by 180 degree views of the stunning San Jacinto Mountains. Lush, green tropical foliage and desert flowers work together to create an unexpected yet fitting setting for a desert hideaway.

Though the hotel grounds are designed for ultimate relaxation and bliss, we are located just two blocks away from all of the action of Downtown Palm Springs, just a quick stroll to restaurants, shops, galleries and activities. Talavera Palm Springs is about having it all; the tranquility and seclusion of the property, and the proximity to the booming Downtown area.

Located in the famous and historic Tennis Club District, the neighborhood is quiet and mostly residential, yet just steps away from all the downtown action. There’s no need to drive to dinner or for sightseeing; most guests leave their cars parked at the hotel and don’t move it their entire stay.

Talavera Palm Springs is walking distance from the many restaurants, bars, and shops on Palm Canyon Drive, The Palm Springs Art Museum, and numerous hikes and view points. It is also just a short drive to the famous Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to take in the views from 8,500 feet above! For something a bit more grounded, walking tours to view Palm Springs’ famous mid-century architecture happen all around Talavera Palm Springs as well.

Villa Royale

Built in 1947, Villa Royale emerged in Palm Springs during a period of Post-World War II development in the Coachella Valley. Adding a small pool of guestrooms to the south end of Palm Springs alongside the Deep Well Guest Ranch and Smoke Tree Ranch, Villa Royale was an early small hotel in south Palm Springs. Owned and managed by a woman by the name of Evelyn Pell, family lore has it that the California ranch-style hotel took its name from the first initials of Evelyn’s children – Valorie and Richard. You can stay at The Evelyn Pell Villa, a private residence with its own hot tub and garden.

With 38 rooms total – each with a unique look and feel – guests can expect new mahogany woodwork, vintage mid-century furniture and original oil paintings. Plus, in-room cocktail parlors with liquor, mixers, cocktails books and tools.  Designer Anne L’Esperance also sprinkled colorful, graphic tile from Portugal, Spain and Mexico throughout the property.

Villa Royale is accommodating to pets, too. Amenities include in-room pet beds and plush dog toys, dog and cat food, custom-made dog tags and in-room VIP (Very Important Pet) door hangers.

Electra bikes are complementary for guests to explore Palm Springs.
