While these plush retreats offer luxurious amenities like many other hotels, their beautifully arid surroundings put them in a class of their own.

Hotel Paseo

Palm Desert, California

Nestled in the desert in Southern California, Hotel Paseo opened in March 2018 and was designed by Kay Lang + Associates. Combining desert oasis with midcentury modern design, the property offers complimentary yoga on the lawn at 6:30 A.M. and free bike rentals to explore nearby shops and art galleries. Sore legs from all of that biking? The property’s Spa LA LÉ boasts seven treatment rooms with a diverse menu, including organic facials and couple’s massages.
