The hotel

You will know you’ve arrived in Palm Springs as soon as you cast your eyes on the epic scenery. Mountain peaks and desert in the distance, and those well-known Californian palm trees. You can take in the sunset from the Kimpton Rowan’s rooftop pool with a cocktail in hand, and sample some of the delicious food in one of the swanky restaurants. And not forgetting the location – you’re slap-bang in Downtown – step out the front doors and you’ll find the foodie scene and nightlife buzz right at your feet.

My wife and I stayed at the Kimpton Rowan for our anniversary weekend, and it was nothing short of incredible. A special thank you goes to Ahmed at the front desk, who truly elevated our experience. He noticed we were celebrating our anniversary and graciously upgraded us to a spacious suite with stunning views, a large soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. He also arranged a late check-out on our departure day, giving us extra time to enjoy our last morning. Ahmed’s thoughtfulness and care made a lasting impression, and we can’t thank him enough. The hotel itself feels like an oasis in the desert—clean, modern, and surrounded by excellent dining and drink options. The rooftop pool quickly became our favorite spot, with attentive servers who ensured we always had a drink or snack in hand. Thank you, Kimpton Rowan, for such a memorable and special weekend. We’ll never forget it! Read less

We are currently at the Rowan and had to take a moment to shout out Dajae, Brock and Jose…. What a fantastic crew at the front desk. Our family have been huge fans of The Rowan for years but this weekend in particular has been a stand out due to these 3. Thank You for making our stay outstanding!

MY ROOM TYPE King San Jacinto Mountain View ROOM VIBE Non-offensive corporate hotel. The "mountain" view made me laugh when I first entered the room: you're basically overlooking a huge parking lot you paid extra for. SPACE FOR YOUR STUFF Generous enough for 2 light packers on a long weekend. Suitcases probably will remain in sight though. THE GROUNDS Nicely done modern hotel that could be located anywhere in the US. Lacking the Palm Springs vibe. The pool on the roof overlooking the mountains is like nothing I had seen in town. STAFF Nice and helpful. FOOD Adequate. SOMETHING I WOULD CHANGE Rename the "Mountain View" rooms "Parking View" Read less
