“A mid-mod lovers dream wedding location!”

We booked the entire Del Marcos for a 3 day dream wedding weekend! It was absolutely the best location, the best ambiance and the best time in Palm Springs! Weather in April in Palm Springs is absolutely divine!

The host was excellent helping us with any need that arrived for us or our friends and family. We were assured that it was "our hotel" for the weekend and it made us feel right at home! It is cool to "own" a hotel for the weekend! We had the run of the place! We had a welcome party poolside on Friday night, the wedding and reception poolside on Saturday and then a brunch on Sunday morning. The wedding was just under 50 people and this size was absolutely perfect! Most stayed with us at the Del Marcos with us but a few were around Palm Springs in other hotels. Most people were thrilled to be where the action was at the Del Marcos! We got to take awesome mid century pics in a few rooms as well as the exterior. The hotels backdrop is the San Jacinto mountains so our pictures turned out just swanky and cool as we wanted! Just beautiful!

All the rooms are simply wow-ing (for a mid mod lover!)! All vintage interiors. Very well kept up or redone well. I thought everything was very clean. They have redone all of the bathrooms and there is not two that are alike! All of the rooms themselves are stunning, each having their own personality and name. I was lucky enough to see them all! If you have a group, go for the Oceans 11 room as it has 2 bedrooms and if you want a great suite, go for the Poolside suite or the Erroll Flynn.
Added bonus is they take your dog if you happen to travel with them. I think there is a little fee but GREAT perk!

Short walking distance to all that is on Palm Canyon drive. Highly recommend the Matchbox Pizza Vintage Bistro!

Great hotel, great location, great wedding spot, great city, and a swanky place to be seen with a Martini poolside!

    • Disliked — The price is a little high...But well worth it if you enjoy the 1950's!

I just got back from a wonderful weekend at the Del Marcos Hotel in Palm Springs. Location, location, location! Steps from Palm Canyon Drive, Great pool, Best mountain Views for under 150 per night. It was a cool ecclectic "Silverlake" mix of guests. Hell with the "staycation", the Delmarcos is worth the tank of gas from LA to rediscover the weekend getaway. My only negative was not going on a holiday weekend so I could spend three nites instead of two.

Had a great Memorial Day weekend stay in this great deal. Nicely redone. Very comfortable. They did a great job hosting the weekend's guests.

Location is killer! Walk to all great restaurants downtown and drop into the Viceroy (next door) for evening cocktail.

Recommend for sure! Will stay here when in town.

Nice Location. What I like the best is the pool and the nice pool furniture and the fact that I wasn't scared to touch the bedspread (which I'm pretty much ALWAYS scared to do). The rooms are really clean and completely adorable. My fiance and I just drove in from L.A. and were able to get a room easily just walking right up to the desk. I can't wait to go back.

My husband and I stayed at the Del Marcos multiple times and then decided to "upgrade" to the Viceroy next door. What a mistake! Sure they have bars, spa, room service etc. But what we missed was the warm personal service the Del Marcos offers. We are experienced travellers with hundreds of hotel stays under our belts and we LOVE this funky, fabulous mid-century gem. Skip the feigned upper class of the chain hotel next door and have a wonderful stay at the Del Marcos. You won't regret it!
