Stay was great--rooms are HUGE and really friendly staff. Location is alright (on the north side of Palm Springs) and the parking is pretty minimal. But if you're spending a lot of time ON the property then I'd recommend it. If you're looking to be out and about in Palm Springs then I'd recommend staying elsewhere. This property would be... More

This past weekend 24 of us celebrated a girlfriend's bachelorette party, and we all stayed here. Such a perfect hotel for celebrations! The hotel succeeds in offering a Vegas vibe - but it's not too big which is nice for the girls trotting around in heels. The pool scene is super fun. The service was very good. I definitely recommend... More

The weekend of May 17th, my son had his bachelor part at the Riviera Resort. The staff was excellent and our stay was great. All 14 of us had rooms that were perfect and the service at the pool was fantastic. What got me was how friendly the entire staff was. Oscar at the Reception desk took care of one... More

We had the best time at the Riviera Palm Springs!! The pool area was fabulous, and the poolside service was fast and friendly even though the hotel was slammed. The Circa 59 restaurant was great, and the live entertainment at night was so much fun!! The hotel rooms were spacious and fun, and I would definitely return.

The Riviera Resort and Spa is a fantastically renovated homage to old Palm Springs with a modern flair. My stay over 5 days was nothing short of spectacular, the resort hosted my brother's wedding which was truly over the top. The Hotel staff made sure to cater to my every need, breakfast at Circa 59 is a stellar way to... More

Ok, so this place tries very hard to be a swanky resort, but just doesn't quite make it. The lobby is really nice, rooms are pretty good. There are a lot of aged areas (chipped paint, dirty carpet), and the hallways are really dark. Most of the staff are very friendly, but we had to wait 15 min at the... More

I travel with a small group of about 20 Board members from across the country about once every other month. This was our first time in Palm Springs. I have never experienced a hotel staff so friendly and accommodating...everyone from the front desk staff to housekeeping, to the meeting planners. The banquet staff, especially David, were exceptional. The best I... More

Stayed over the weekend for a friend's birthday. Hip & modern decor didn't disappoint, lots of good photo opportunities throughout hotel grounds. Pool area was super busy so get there early. My only regret was not trying out their spa services!
