Hotel El Cid by AvantStay | Cal-Boho Stay • Shared Pool + Firepit • Near Downtown

Tucked behind lush hedges and classic Palm Springs palms, this 1-bedroom Hotel El Cid unit brings a laid-back Cal-boho feel to a boutique desert stay. A queen bedroom, 1 bathroom, and convenient kitchenette make it easy to settle in, while the bungalow-style layout gives you a quiet place to recharge between pool days, downtown exploring, and warm desert evenings. Outside your door, the walled grounds feel like a private desert escape. Spend the afternoon by the communal pool, claim a shaded cabana, gather under the dining tent, fire up the BBQ, or settle near the firepit as the palms glow in the evening light. The shared spaces are made for slow mornings, sunny afternoons, and that classic Palm Springs indoor-outdoor rhythm. Back inside, clean lines, natural textures, bold accents, and large windows give the unit a stylish but comfortable feel. It’s an easy fit for couples or solo travelers who want the privacy of their own space with hotel-style amenities just steps away. Location-wise, you’re in a walkable Palm Springs pocket near local restaurants, bars, boutiques, and the city’s signature mid-century charm. Spend the day exploring downtown, hiking desert trails, visiting nearby spas, or simply drifting between the pool, firepit, and your cozy bungalow-style retreat. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips! A 90-minute drive from LA, Palm Springs has earned its reputation as a long-time favorite desert destination. Attracting movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra, it boasts an old-Hollywood history dating back to the 20s. Mid-century modern architecture adds to a nostalgic feel while trendy shopping, hip restaurants, and lively bars keep things modern. Hop from one renowned golf course & spa to the next, or explore the Coachella Valley desert by way of hiking, ATVs, or horseback.
