About this property
The Monkey Tree Hotel Buyout by AvantStay | Hotel Buyout! Funky Rooms w/ Pool
*This is a buyout of all 16 rooms at the Monkey Tree Hotel*
Welcome to Monkey Tree! Nestled in the San Jacinto Mountains, this newly remodeled hotel showcases the best of mid-century modern design with a fashionable twist. It was originally built in the 1960’s by celebrated architect Albert Frey. The colorful hotel has a historical, fun and frenzied past–rumor has it that JFK and Marilyn Monroe had a tryst during their stay! Today, the property invites couples, friends, and groups to spend sunny days and electric nights at the most beloved hotel in Palm Springs.
Enjoy 16 breathtaking suites and experience secluded serenity during your stay in the Monkey Tree Buyout! With access to each uniquely-furnished space, guests can relax in paradise alongside friends and loved ones. The property’s 16 colorful suites, situated around a communal pool, are available for a full buyout to celebrate large get togethers, special events, and everything in between. The rooms feature retro design, the bathrooms come equipped with modern fixtures, and the eclectic common spaces bring all your favorite people together. Five suites include a kitchenette and bar while two suites feature a furnished,300 sq ft private patio with overhead string lights. Provided board games, nearby bars & restaurants, and the hotel’s generous BYOB policy ensure that the fun never ends!
Nearby Activities: Escena Golf Club, Lulu California Bistro, Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs SkatePark, Mesquite Golf and Country Club, Desert Healthcare Park, North Lykken Trailhead.
Located 100 miles east of Los Angeles, Coachella Valley is an oasis for those looking to experience the beauty and ruggedness of Southern California’s desert region. Surrounded by picturesque vistas and mountains, an abundance of golf courses, shopping, and dining, this sunny destination is a must for those who enjoy the outdoors and the arts. Home to the country’s most famous music festival, travelers across the globe flock here to attend The Coachella Music & Arts Festival, hosted annually in April. No matter what time of year, there’s always something exciting going on.
Experience Coachella Valley, AvantStay Style.

- Some rooms do not have a kitchen
- This room is part of a hotel with a communal pool and other shared amenities.
- Please note that we will need to electronically verify your ID before receiving check-in instructions.

- Please note that this is a self-service vacation rental with contactless check-in and no staff on site.

Accidental Damage Protection: A non-refundable accidental damage protection plan has been included in the price of your reservation. Under this plan, you will not be held responsible to pay for accidental damage or loss to the rental property resulting from you or others in your party up to $2000. This plan does not cover intentional acts of a guest, gross negligence, or willful and wanton conduct, and/or damages caused by pets. This plan is not available for reservations 28 days or longer or reservations that require a security deposit.
This is a smoke-free property. Violation of the no-smoking policy will result in forfeiture of the security deposit, a $300 smoking fee, and liability for any fire or property damage costs.
As part of our commitment to being good neighbors, occupancy limits and quiet hours (9pm-8am) are strictly enforced. No speakers or sound systems will be provided for use in our properties. Violation of any noise ordinances will be subject to fines that can reach up to $10,000 per violation.
Events or parties are not allowed without prior written approval and an additional fee. Any unauthorized parties or events will be shut down and a fine will be assessed. Please inquire for more information about our event policies and fees.
There is nothing more important to us at AvantStay than the health, safety, and experience of our guests & staff. We've enhanced our cleaning and sanitation protocols and are taking extra care to disinfect all surfaces between reservations with hospital-grade disinfecting solutions.
As a reminder, we do work with 3rd party vendors to maintain the property, and although we adhere to the strictest CDC guidelines and advise all contractors to wear PPE equipment, we can not always enforce. We strongly advise guests to please deny access if any vendors fail to meet and adhere to these standards.
IDs will be requested for verification after booking. All bookings over 30 days require a security deposit.
We report and prosecute all Credit Card Fraud.
