Welcome to Monkey Tree! Nestled in the San Jacinto Mountains, this newly remodeled, adults-only 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.
Vibrant, Togo-style furniture, a sleek kitchenette and breakfast bar, and an expansive vanity combine functionality with sophistication. Unlike other Monkey Tree suites, Suite 15 offers a charming, shaded private patio, where guests can sip cocktails in seclusion. The Presidential Suite sits beside a communal pool and includes a kitchenette, bar, and furnished, private 300 sq ft patio with overhead string lights. The colorful bedrooms feature retro design, the bathrooms come equipped with modern fixtures, and the eclectic common spaces bring your group together. Provided board games, nearby bars & restaurants, and the hotel’s generous BYOB policy ensure that the fun never ends!
