Palm Springs…is there anything better?! Not only is Palm Springs the perfect place for a girl’s weekend getaway, it literally is one of the coolest places in California (in my honest opinion).

I hope you enjoy these travel tips and this girl’s weekend guide to Palm Springs!

I’ve actually tried to make it a point to head to Palm Springs or Palm Desert once a year for some chill-out time because I always feel so relaxed after I go. This time I went with my roommate for a girl’s weekend and we ended up having the best girls’ trip ever. While we’re at it, let’s be friends on Instagram and TikTok!

Here’s the Ultimate Girl’s Weekend Guide to Palm Springs!

Where to Stay

You literally cannot go wrong in Palm Springs. There are so many incredible design hotels and fun Airbnbs in Palm Springs and the greater Palm Springs area. Here are some of my favorites.

The Saguaro

 Stay here for a bright colorful, girly atmosphere (perfect for Instagram) with fun vibes and close to all the action of downtown Palm Springs! The pool is also incredible. Book a Room | Read Reviews on TripAdvisor

The Parker Palm Springs

This is the most amazing hotel I’ve ever stepped foot in. The decor is by Jonathon Adler and the whole place is perfect. If you can, take a walk through the lobby to the grounds. This hotel is definitely more of a spendier, fancier, and classier option, but worth it! Book a Room | Read Reviews on TripAdvisor

Kimpton Rowan

This resort hotel is situated in the heart of downtown Palm Springs with a great location for bar hopping and checking out the restaurants of Palm Springs. They also have a rooftop pool and bar with beautiful views. Book a Room | Read TripAdvisor

Airbnb

You can’t go wrong with finding a place that has a pool all to yourself on the cheap! We did this and it was great to have our own pool to lounge during the day.

Where to Eat

Brunch:

  • Norma’s at the Parker Palm Springs – This spot has awesome decor and an amazing selection of brunch foods.
  • Cheeky’s – Be prepped for a wait, but it’s so so worth it! I still crave it. Make sure to order one of their bacon flights or french toast!
  • Rooftop at Tommy Bahamas (in Palm Desert on El Paseo drive) – This is a classic spot that’s great for lunch on the roof after shopping on El Paseo.

Getting Around

We rented an $18 a day car from Alamo (mainly so we could drive to Palm Desert and Joshua Tree). We also took Uber’s (get $5 off your first 2 rides with this code) out when we went out on the town! Have you ever visited Palm Springs or had a girl’s weekend there? If you have, what am I missing on my list?
