Regal green drapes, Art Deco wallpaper, and a whisper of Camelot-era glamour. The Presidential Estate at The Velvet Rope takes its inspiration from John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, two of the most famous names of their time, and it's styled with custom finishes that make the whole suite feel like a private reception for two.
This is the most spacious suite in the collection, with a living room that's made for settling in. A 7-foot couch stretches out in front of a 55-inch TV, and a built-in desk gives you a spot to catch up on anything that can't wait. The kitchenette comes with a microwave, a Keurig coffee maker, a mini fridge, and a wine fridge, so late-night snacks and slow mornings are easy. A vanity is ready for getting dressed up, and the king bed is there when the night winds down. The extended shower rounds out the bathroom, and the suite is ADA-compliant.
Hollywood's biggest stars once slipped away to Palm Springs for sunshine, privacy, and a good party. The Velvet Rope brings that golden era back to life, with a sun-soaked courtyard pool, private patios, and a deck overlooking the San Jacinto Mountains, perfect for lazy afternoons and watching the last light settle over the peaks.
The entertainment continues at Bar Valerie, the hotel's on-site lounge serving craft cocktails, beer, wine, and small plates. Throughout the week, special events range from live music to burlesque performances. It's the kind of place where one drink turns into another, and a night out doesn't have to take you beyond the hotel.
Tucked into Old Las Palmas, one of Palm Springs' most storied neighborhoods, this nine-room boutique hotel occupies a building originally designed in 1952 by renowned architect Herbert W. Burns. Today, it's a lavish nod to Old Hollywood, with individually themed suites designed by David Rios, each with its own personality and glamorous details. The Rat Pack Suite, for example, channels the high-rolling days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.
When you're ready to explore, The Velvet Rope is just off North Palm Canyon Drive, a short stroll from the galleries, vintage furniture shops, and restaurants of the Uptown Design District. Downtown Palm Springs, the Palm Springs Art Museum, and Village Green are only a few minutes away by car. For a change of scenery, head to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for cooler mountain air and sweeping views of the Coachella Valley.
Whether you're here for a quiet desert escape or a weekend of cocktails and late nights, The Velvet Rope captures the playful spirit of Palm Springs' glamorous past, with plenty to enjoy both on property and around town.
