Kimpton Hotel in Palm Springs

Kimpton has officially announced that they will be operating a six-story, 190-room hotel that will be built on the former site of Palm Springs’s Desert Fashion Plaza. The new Hotel Palomar will include a “chef-driven, destination restaurant,” meeting and event space, and a rooftop bar and pool, which, somehow, is a first for Palm Springs. I know, that sounds unbelievable to me too. Wessman Development is in the midst of demolishing the old shopping center, and the new Kimpton Hotel is expected to open its doors in 2015. The redevelopment of the 14-acre Fashion Plaza site will eventually also include retail, restaurants, office space, and new streets.

The Enclave at Sunrise

Located minutes from the entertainment, dining and shopping districts of Palm Springs on the corner of Racquet Club and Sunrise Way, The Enclave at Sunrise is a development by Bayshore Development and Creosote Partners with design and site plan by nationally renowned architecture firm MVE & Partners. An intimate cul-de-sac community of 52 luxury homes, The Enclave at Sunrise’s three to five-bedroom single-family homes feature 2,800 to 3,300 square feet of elegant interior space.

The vision for this new Palm Springs luxury offering is to encourage a sense of community while emphasizing the natural landscape. “The Enclave at Sunrise combines great home design with the energy of being so close to the vibrancy and character of downtown Palm Springs,” notes Tom Noya, Principal of Bayshore Development.

Each of the single-family homes is located along an inwardoriented cul-de-sac that further nurtures community and neighborhood, complementing the natural landscape and breathtaking mountain views. All homes are set on generous lots that average 10,000 square feet. The Enclave at Sunrise provides a delicate balance between outdoor desert living and an inviting interior that is perfect for a first or second home.

“This community is for the increasingly sophisticated home buyer that envisions his or her home for use as a retreat or place to entertain,” says Carl McLarand, architect and chairman of MVE & Partners. “Homebuyers today appreciate and look for a greater level of attention to detail in the design and construction of their home. That’s what they’ll find at The Enclave at Sunrise.”

A key element of The Enclave at Sunrise experience is the flexibility of each buyer to customize their home to individual needs and tastes. Customizing options include a private detached casita, master bedroom retreats, pre-wiring for a media center, an outdoor living area with fireplace, and a designer pool and spa. Desert-sensitive, front-yard landscaping will be installed and maintained by the community in order to provide a cohesive and stunning landscape design.

The four beautifully designed models are Thursday – Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. With prices originally staring in the $700,000s, The Enclave at Sunrise is currently offering Phase 3 Closeout pricing, with homes starting at $599,988.

The Palm Hotel

Planned as a four-story, high-end boutique hotel with 51 rooms, including 11 suites, The Palm Hotel will be located in downtown Palm Springs. It will neighbor Le Vallauris to the west, the Palm Springs Art Museum to the Northwest, the Palm Springs Promenade (to be redeveloped as Museum Market Plaza) to the Northeast, a three-story hotel to the east, and Casa Cody to the south.

The main hotel building will be futuristic, with a wide, swooping metal facade, protecting a hip pool scene with cabanas. On top of the hotel there will be a roof lounge, similar to the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles.

Catering to upscale travelers, room rates are expected to range from $300 to $400 per night. The Palm Hotel will offer 500-thread count sheets, plasma screen tvs, down pillows, an onsite restaurant and meeting facilities.
