Dive Palm Springs
French Riviera 1960s glamour meets desert calm. Rattan beds, Christian Lacroix wallpaper, colorful tile bathrooms, and a vintage neon diving girl named Lulu anchoring the courtyard. Intimate, design-forward, and intentionally slow-paced.

Why It Matters
A Michelin Key honoree in both 2024 and 2025 — among the first US hotels ever awarded the distinction. Michelin called its atmosphere 'nothing short of restorative.' TripAdvisor ranked it in the Best of the Best, and Fodor's named it one of the 101 Most Incredible Hotels in the World. All that in an 11-room (now 13-room) property that started life in 1954 as the Sunrise Villa.
Dive is a 13-room adults-only (21+) boutique hotel on East Palm Canyon Drive that trades mid-century desert clichés for something more specific: the sunny, slightly eccentric spirit of 1960s St. Tropez. Created by a collective of LA-based designers and artists, it opened in its current form in August 2019 after a full renovation of a property that dates back to 1954. No TVs, no kids, no noise — just a heated pool, lush gardens, a koi pond, an infrared sauna, cold plunge, and 13 rooms each painted and styled with original murals and Belgian linen.
Where You'll Stay
13 room types available
La Lumière (ADA)
Accessible comfort with genuine character. ADA-accessible walk-in shower, cool grey tile, and generous circulation throughout. The only room on property with an in-room record player and curated 1960s vinyl collection — which sets a very specific and excellent mood. Garden-facing and quietly positioned.
King
Le Jardin
Quiet and tucked into the garden landscape. One of the calmer rooms on property — no private patio, but outdoor seating just beyond the door creates a peaceful connection to the landscape. Deep navy tile and original artwork. Rainfall shower, robes, L'Occitane products, stocked minibar.
KingLe Rêve
The most romantic and distinctive room on property — intimate, layered, and genuinely unlike the others. A solid brass queen bed sits beneath a Christian Lacroix custom ceiling mural with matching wallpaper. Deep red tile and a rainfall shower add richness. No patio, but the jewel-box atmosphere more than compensates.
QueenLe Soleil
Bright and minimal, designed for deep rest between pool, sauna, and desert outings. Teal-mint tile keeps the palette fresh. No patio, but the tucked-away garden location adds quiet privacy. Rainfall shower, robes, L'Occitane products, stocked minibar.
KingLulu's Hideaway
Named for the hotel's iconic neon diving girl. Playful and indulgent — the stand-alone soaking tub framed by bright yellow tile is one of the most distinctive bath experiences on property. Private street entrance and front patio with bistro seating and a personal daybed make it feel like your own Palm Springs apartment.
KingParis
Design-forward with its own private street entrance for a residential feel. Christian Lacroix butterfly wallpaper, a double vanity, and seafoam-teal tile distinguish the bathroom. A front patio with bistro seating makes for great people-watching. Rainfall shower, robes, L'Occitane products, curated minibar.
KingThe Bordeaux Suite
Pool-facing room designed for easy indoor-outdoor living. Lime-green tile gives the bathroom a crisp, fresh tone. A private back patio with a daybed offers shade between swims, and front seating keeps you connected to the property energy. Vintage styling and original art throughout.
KingThe Champagne Suite
Extra privacy and space with a private street entrance and front patio seating. Deep avocado-green tile gives the bathroom richness without heaviness. Belgian linen king bed, rainfall shower, robes, L'Occitane products, mini refrigerator.
KingThe Oasis Suite
Steps from the pool, designed for easy afternoons. Burnt-orange tile brings warmth to the bathroom. Private back patio with a daybed offers shade between swims, and front outdoor seating creates a second spot to begin mornings or ease into evenings. Stocked minibar, rainfall shower, L'Occitane products.
KingThe Orchard Suite
The most private and indulgent room on property. A rattan king bed with Belgian linen atop a luxury mattress is paired with a twin daybed — sleeps up to 3 guests. Original 1960s artwork, framed French publications, and custom furnishings give it a residential feel. Outside, a secluded private patio has a personal hot tub and direct access to Palm Springs' only private 3-hole putting green.
King + Twin DaybedThe Riviera Suite
Cool blue tones and a generous layout for extended stays. King plus twin daybed sleeps up to 3. Private patio with bistro seating and front outdoor seating. Cool blue tile bathroom, rainfall shower, L'Occitane bath products, mini refrigerator.
