Renovated, luxe mid-century Ocotillo gem w/patio
Welcome to The Modern Joy! Live your best Palm Springs fantasy at our whimsical, light & airy mid-century bungalow. Located in the historical Ocotillo Lodge, our unit is one of a few exclusive bungalow suites, distinguished by its large east-facing, private patio. Enjoy modern amenities and stylized nods to Palm Springs' colorful history. Have a morning coffee in the light of the golden sunrise, or experience a magical sunset overlooking the mountain views. Our mid-century gem is yours to enjoy!
Featured in Modernism Week 2025, this newly renovated one-bedroom unit has tons of natural light coming from floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors in all rooms, along with living room windows that face the surrounding mountains. You truly enjoy the best of indoor/outdoor living as our quiet, private patio is one of the most spacious in the entire complex. Offering picture-perfect views of the mountains all around the unit, as well as a BBQ Grill, you have the opportunity to enjoy meals al-fresco, under the desert sky.
The stylish bungalow decor takes inspiration from the colors & textures of the desert landscape. Meticulous details & accents bring outdoor elements indoors, evoking a seamless experience of the soothing, natural surroundings that Palm Springs is known for.
Quiet and tranquil, our bedroom features a plush Queen-sized bed and soft cotton sheets to give you that perfect night of sleep. The living room is spacious and airy, with mid-century modern inspired pieces that evoke the elegance of Palm Springs' heyday. The kitchen is fully stocked, and has a dishwasher for your convenience.
Originally built in 1956 by famed architects William Krisel & the Alexanders, the historically designated Ocotillo Lodge started out as a hotel, and is one of Palm Springs' most stunning mid-century gems. As a guest, you will have full access to the facilities, including the famous champagne-cork shaped pool, two hot tubs, fitness room, and lush desert landscaping. You'll truly feel like one of the many celebrities who have frequented this famous hangout spot over the years.
Ours is truly a special unit, located in one of the best examples of mid-century architecture that Palm Springs has to offer. Come and stay, and live your best Palm Springs life!
