Chic Desert Aunt Meets Our New Favorite Hotel
Mojave Resort is full of desert style while honoring the original 1957 Palm Desert property.
Welcome to Book It, our monthly look at a buzzy new hotel or resort we're excited about.
As summer turns to fall and you start thinking about upcoming winter getaways, make sure to keep the newly remodeled Mojave Resort in mind. Here's everything you need to know, plus some tips on what to pack, for your next trip to Palm Desert.
What to Know
Inspired by Palm Desert’s charm, captivating landscapes and history as Hollywood’s desert playground, the newly renovated Mojave Resort has been reimagined by Practice Hospitality. 25 guest rooms and suites make up this intimate space; and the adults-only hotel offers a martini-shaker shaped pool (sans crying kids and cannon-balls!), a hot tub spa and a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, just steps away from Palm Desert’s best shopping destination.
While the bright orange pool aesthetic invites an Instagram post or two, a palette of desert-inspired hues – sand, cream, orange, brown and green – complements the natural wood textures, vintage inspired décor and vibrant accents calms guests. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby and guest rooms enhance the airy, relaxed atmosphere, creating a perfect setting for a tranquil hideaway.
Mojave Resort is the exact destination that the chic desert aunt of internet fame would book. Coined by stylist Allison Bornstein, the chic desert aunt is a woman who defines bohemian: she exudes art in her everyday life and personal style, charms everyone around her without trying in the slightest and walks through life like a Fleetwood Mac album is constantly playing in the background. She’s more than the “cool aunt” - she’s the woman you want to be, but you aren’t quite sure how to get there, and she never really discloses her many little secrets to life. That woman? She’s definitely booking a stay at Mojave Resort.
Rates at Mojave Resort start at $197 per night and you can book your next stay here.
