Stay where luxe mod lives on.
From its 1949 beginnings as the Sunset Tower Apartment Hotel, this Palm Springs landmark has welcomed Hollywood stars, hosted illicit gambling operations, and witnessed some hasty departures. Now reimagined by local designers, The Twist brings fresh energy to its storied past.
Better with age, cooler by design.
Below street level, traces of a rumored escape route to the El Mirador Hotel still remain—just one of the surprises this stylish property has up its sleeve. Today, bold splashes of color and clean modernist lines create an immediate sense of Palm Springs at its most playful. Quiet mornings by the pool transform into vibrant evenings of fireside conversation, all set against a backdrop of swaying palms and mountain silhouettes.
Escape routes no longer required.
Modern walk-in showers anchor each thoughtfully designed bathroom, while private patios and balconies extend your living space outdoors. Select ground-floor units feature cozy fire pits, perfect for desert evenings. The heated outdoor pool maintains a perfect 85 degrees year-round, and up on the mezzanine level, comfortable couches circle another fire pit—your sunset perch. Beach cruisers stand ready for neighborhood exploration, and a putting green adds an unexpected touch of fun.
Each accommodation features a custom, modern kitchen for nights when you'd rather dine in. When you're ready to venture out, start your day at Ernest Coffee, Palm Springs' only independent Stumptown coffee shop. As evening approaches, Bootlegger Tiki's friendly staff crafts handcrafted cocktails right on property. Just steps from your door, the Uptown Design District serves up some of Palm Springs' most sought-after dining spots.
Located in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood, within the Palm Springs Uptown Design District.
