Kimpton to Build Stunning New Palm Springs Hotel

Kimpton to Build Stunning New Palm Springs Hotel Gay-friendly hotel brand Kimpton has released some beautiful renderings of a new 190-room four-star hotel to be built in downtown Palm Springs. The Hotel Palomar will be completed in 2015 and is the first large-scale hotel complex to be developed in the downtown area of Palm Springs since the late 80s, according to the Desert Sun . The ultra-modern structure is replacing the unpopular Desert Fashion Plaza currently being demolished to the delight of many locals.

The Hotel Palomar is essentially considered a high-rise building in Palm Springs, even though it will stand only a few stories tall because of height restrictions within the small cosmopolitan desert city.

One of the coolest features of the property will be a rooftop bar and pool, which Kimpton touts is a first for the Palm Springs area.

Check out more sleek and sexy renderings of the new Hotel Palomar below. Continue reading →
