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.
With a vintage living area, eclectic retro artwork, and colorful accent finishes, Suite 16 combines comfort and sophistication. Enjoy relaxation on the space’s expansive couches and plush, king-sized bed or step outside into the breathtaking pool oasis, only steps away from the unit’s wall of one-way glass windows. The colorful suite is situated around a communal pool and features retro bedrooms styled with bright decor, bathrooms equipped with modern fixtures, and eclectic common spaces for your group to gather. Provided board games, nearby bars & restaurants, and the hotel’s generous BYOB policy ensure that the fun never ends!
