This place was fabulous. The service is outstanding, the food is amazing and conveniently located in the heart of downtown, (set back from the bustle so it is quiet and relaxing) There are amazing views from this spot. I have stayed many places in Palm Springs, but this is my favorite. The only thing missing is food and beverage service at the pool which you can get at other hotels.

Be aware that this Inn closes in the summer months, so you are unable to contact them by phone or email until they re-open in mid September.

LOVED everything about our stay. We will definitely return. Great beds, clean rooms, wonderful service from the wonderful staff, serene, made us feel as if we were a million miles away from Los Angeles, walking distance to downtown and restaurants we had reservations to. Hated to leave!!!!!

The Willows epitomizes “if you know, you know”. Words cannot do it justice and I promised myself I would write a review before our stay ended so I could try to capture how special this place is while still in it.

The Willows is a lush, intimate inn 4 mins away from Downtown Palm Springs. It’s permanently serene and slightly jasmine scented from the beautiful landscaping. The service is top-notch - thoughtful, available, and never disruptive. By your second day on the property, they remember how you like your coffee. By your second stay, they remember that you love the huevos rancheros for breakfast (thank you, Chef Robbie! You are truly the best!)

If your ideal vacation includes lounging by a quiet (kid-free) pool, leisurely breakfasts served on real china and silver, impeccable service, all within walking distance of downtown Palm Springs restaurants - look no further than the Willows!

We can’t wait to return!

We visited the Willows in December for 5 nights, 3 couples - myself and my husband and our adult children and their partners. It was such a treat. The Willows is a gorgeous historic structure - a beautiful building with beautiful grounds. We had the Orchid Tree Room, the Cielito Room and the Loft Room, each unique and meticulously appointed. Excellent beds and bedding, delicious breakfast served on china, and a beautiful venue. Gordon, the innkeeper, went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The Willows is perfectly located in Palm Springs. It is quiet and tucked away but within a short walk of many excellent restaurants. As several reviewers have pointed out, it is a historic property and there are many steps and some paths are dimly lit, so just be aware of this before you book. It was not an issue for us. We want to thank Gordon and the staff for making this a very memorable gathering for our family.

We just spent our 50th anniversary at the Willows. We had spent last year’s anniversary at the Willows, and we enjoyed it so much we wanted to return. The Willows is a bucket list level place to enjoy, having so much history that it’s almost hard to soak it all in. We were in the Rose room, and it was more than worth it. Thanks to Nicole, Grace and Mia for making our stay so great and so much fun.
