There are many hotels that hold a firm place in my heart and the Riviera Palm Springs will always be one of them.
Though, it's worth disclosing that some of my rose-tinted lens has to do with the fact I got married at the Riviera. Yet my love affair with the Riv started much before wedding planning did. Supermod with a retro feel, the elegant grounds come together to form a property that's just so Palm Springs.
With rates as low as $90 nightly in low summer season (when temps hit 110 plus), rising to approximately $200 to $250 in high winter and spring months, even at its busiest, this resort remains affordable for a four-star hotel. Other boutique counterparts easily run closer to $350 per night, even in slower seasons. Some rooms are admittedly dated, but requesting a renovated room easily avoids this pain point.
Beloved by Palm Springs purists who savor throwback vintage vibes, as well as pool partiers who wish they scored tickets to Coachella, the Riviera is the kind of place you book when you want to feel like Elizabeth Taylor with a healthy dose of Rat Pack revelry.
I've seen entry-level rooms and stayed in both a Junior Suite and a Premium One-Bedroom Suite and think the mid-tier Junior Suite offers the strongest value for well-priced, renovated accommodations with more space than in standard offerings, and better rates than premium suites.
