Project Description

Drift Palm Springs is an industrial-chic boutique hotel in downtown Palm Springs, blending mid-century modern design with Baja influences. Decor from Mexican and Californian artisans enhances its desert-inspired aesthetic.

The three-story, 38-unit, 68,000-square-foot hotel offers studios to four-bedroom suites with full kitchens. Amenities include a resort-style pool, private cabanas, a rooftop lounge with San Jacinto Mountain views, complimentary bikes, and in-room yoga mats. Guests can enjoy Baja-inspired dining at Maleza or cocktails at the Drift Pool Bar.

Built with light-frame wood and steel moment frames, it ensures resilience in Seismic Design Category E conditions with structural irregularities. Steps from main attractions, Drift Palm Springs redefines boutique hospitality with style and comfort.
