Kimpton ROWAN PALM SPRINGS

Palm Springs, California

Star rating

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 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

My partner and I had a great stay. Our king balcony room was spacious and the bed was extremely comfy. The room was quiet (on 6th floor). We were there on a Sunday night and had no issues grabbing lounge chairs around the rooftop pool. The hotel is walkable to tons of shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.

We stayed 4 nights at Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs, and unfortunately, the experience was well below expectations for a hotel in this category. We dealt with disruptive renovation noise directly above our room from the start. Despite repeated reassurances that the work was done, loud pounding and construction sounds continued, making it hard to relax, sleep, or focus. When we reported it, staff dismissed it as “housekeeping.” On our last night, I asked the valet to charge our electric vehicle and emphasized that we’d be traveling in the morning. The request was acknowledged, but ignored. We woke up with less than 70 miles of range, adding stress to an already disappointing departure. While the location is good and the design is stylish, the service was reactive rather than proactive, not up to the standard of a Kimpton or 5-star property. We expected thoughtful hospitality; what we got felt indifferent. Read less

Nice hotel, best location but no complimentary bottled water in the room. I hope this becomes a standard in most hotels🙏🏽. The hotel is very nice, cosy and just plain WOW! The room is a sight, the bed - comfortable, the toilet - immaculately clean!

From the moment we pulled up to valet, amazing reception from Ahmed who checked in with us throughout our entire stay, and super cool bellhop Brock was the best. Breakfast at the Juniper was delicious and Vanessa went far and beyond to make sure our family had everything we needed at the rooftop pool.
