Though it’s in the center of city, the Thompson is just not an city high-rise resort. It manages to really feel sprawling and spread-out with just some ranges of rooms and loads of pockets of communal open-air areas geared up with cozy couches and seating all through the property. You’ll be in shut proximity to all the pieces Palm Springs has to supply, from the ever-growing restaurant scene to design and classic outlets to the spectacular artwork museum, whereas accessing a fun-but-not-raucous pool scene and a very good Mediterranean restaurant onsite. Plus, rooms are sizable and include non-public balconies or patios. The $49 vacation spot payment covers lots. In addition to valet parking, home automotive drop-off service, and bikes, you’ll get reductions on the native Brandini toffee and ice cream store down the road and the BMW Performance Driving School in Thermal (about 45 minutes away), two-for-one tickets to the museum, in-room waters bottled in eco-friendly aluminum, and outside yoga lessons on weekends. The gymnasium is spacious and top-notch, too.
