The take
The Take
The Vibe
Thompson Palm Springs reads as a midcentury-minded urban retreat that wears its design credentials openly. The property leans into Rat Pack-era lines and the city's post‑war architectural legacy, privileging an indoor‑outdoor relationship and two outdoor pool venues as central social spaces. Its downtown address on North Palm Canyon Drive keeps the mood civic and walkable—close to galleries, independent restaurants and boutiques—so the hotel feels like a refined, design-forward hub rather than an isolated resort. Overall it balances period classicism with a relaxed, social energy that nods to Palm Springs history without pastiche.
Best For
This Thompson suits travelers who want resort comforts without forfeiting downtown proximity. It's a strong pick for design-minded visitors and couples seeking a stylish romantic base, and for weekenders who want immediate access to Palm Springs galleries and shops while still enjoying prominent poolside social life. Because the hotel emphasizes midcentury lineage and curated urban placement, it appeals to guests who prioritize architecture, walkability and a polished yet approachable hotel experience rather than a sprawling desert resort.
