Palm Springs is all about style—the architecture, the cocktail parties, and of course the relaxed lifestyle of warm days and cool nights. Palm Springs style can be best seen in the area’s hotels, where upscale properties serve classic “mid-century modern” design, and casual guesthouses have fun pool decks that are great for luxuriating the day away.

There are hotels in Palm Springs fit for every traveler’s desires, so how to pick which is best? Here are some of our favorites:
