The Monkey Tree Hotel

Quiet get away, very retro and you feel like your back in time when things were simple

The mid century feel and decor about the entire place. The location was excellent. Afternoon drinks and nibbles were great. A good continental breakfast. Pool area was a nice place to relax and a nice comfortable bed.

Nothing.

When we first entered the hotel we were meet by Alex who was great, she showed us round the place and spared no detail. Whilst you’re walking around you honestly feel like you’ve walked onto the set of “mad men” or gone back in time to the 60s, the whole place looks amazing. The rooms were very spacious with large reflective windows which gave you a great view of the place but also private so people couldn’t see in. As we were leaving we got a chance to speak to the owner Kathy who was incredibly helpful and gave us a nice bit of history of The Monkey Tree Hotel. Well it’s fair to say if we are ever back in Palm Springs this is one place we will be revisiting.

Generally everything was above expectations - you can tell this property is a true labour of love with the owners. The beds and pillows are exceptional and the pool area was pretty much completely empty during my stay. Ignore all reviews that complain about the hotel being at the bottom of the airport runway - I barely heard any sound during my whole stay - Palm Springs is hardly a busy airport !

I think the room furnishings and decorating could be a lot better considering the amount of quality mid century modern furniture available in Palm Springs and the regular price. Otherwise - a magical place I look forward to returning asap.
