Book Hotels in Palm Springs, California

A man-made oasis in the heart of the Southern California desert, Palm Springs is best known as a playground for celebrities from Hollywood’s golden years. The famed expertly manicured golf courses and tennis facilities remain, but gone are the Bob Hopes and Marilyn Monroes who graced their guest lists. That leaves plenty of room for you to tee it up and practice your backswing in this verdant village set amid the sand and stone. If you’re ready to make a pilgrimage, Travelocity has great deals on hotels in Palm Springs—among them the Hilton Garden Inn—that’ll save you enough to cover your green fees or buy a new racquet. 

A Date with the Desert

There’s more to do than spend your time chasing par or running down lob shots. Your cheap Palm Springs hotel can be a perfect home base for exploring the surrounding area. Enjoy a scenic ride to the top of Mount San Jacinto on the Palm Springs Tramway, then roam around on the network of trails high above the desert floor. Speaking of the desert, Joshua Tree National Park is nearby, offering the opportunity to do some bouldering—or a chance to watch the pros have at it while you sit back and marvel at their strength and grace. Alternatively, you can embark on an architectural tour, visiting the midcentury modern homes that served as celebrity summer hideaways.

No matter where the day takes you, dinner at one of the fabulous eateries on Palm Canyon Drive is the perfect pit stop before heading back to one of the many exquisite Palm Springs hotels like the Miracle Springs Resort & Spa. For an incredible ending to completely enchanting day, order some bubbly from room service, find a comfortable seat on the balcony, and gaze up at the canopy of stars. With each brilliant twinkle, you’ll realize that you’re right where the universe wants you. Let Travelocity help to transport you to your proper place and time—we’ll see you there.
