This property features 66 guestrooms, including four suites, as well as a reimagined restaurant and bar concept, stylish pool area, and array of outdoor spaces. Accommodations include desert-inspired décor, Le Labo shower amenities, Fellow electric kettle with TAZO Teas and steeped coffee, plush linens, botanical rain shower, minimalist desk, and more.

 

The hotel’s signature restaurant, High Moon, focuses on Californian cuisine, complemented by desert flora wall coverings and jewel tones enveloping the interior dining room. The restaurant also offers outdoor dining space underneath fringed umbrellas. High Moon offers two distinct rituals: Sunrise and Afterglow. The Sunrise menu serves breakfast and brunch dishes like avocado toast, parfaits and waffles with local ingredients. At Afterglow, guests can indulge in signature burgers, chef-crafted boards and more.

The heart of the hotel, however, is its pool deck and patios, great for anything from a relaxing day to group events. The deck hosts yoga and meditation sessions, happy hour, and more.
