The Saguaro Palm Springs
Hotel · Palm Springs, CA
About
You might expect a Palm Springs hotel with a bright color palette to focus on Instagram aesthetics over substance, but The Saguaro Palm Springs leans into its reputation as a party hotel by choice. The 244-room property, opened in 2012 and housed in a 1977 building, features a vibrant pool scene, two bars, a Mexican cantina, and a full spa. The colors, drawn from native desert wildflowers, are the work of architects Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat.
The hotel's weekend pool parties draw a mixed gay-straight crowd, especially during big events like White Party and Pride. Guests sometimes get automatic passes to those parties. There's also a free margarita with every stay, a 24-hour gym, and yoga sessions. The Ace Hotel & Swim Club is nearby if you want another pool scene. Be aware that Yelp reviews average 2.9 stars, with some citing a need for refresh. Staff are described as friendly, and the restaurant gets solid marks.

The hotel could definitely use some updates, but it remains a fun option, particularly during major gay events like White Party and Memorial Day. Pool parties are common during those weekends, and hotel guests often receive complimentary passes. You also get a free margarita each stay. The lobby is nice, and the restaurant is worth trying.
