Set on the main drag of Palm Springs, Caliente Tropics Resort is less than 10 minutes from popular downtown restaurants, bars, galleries, and shopping. There are a few restaurants within walking distance but popular regional destinations like Joshua Tree National park and Coachella are a 45-minute drive.
The property features a beautiful outdoor pool, the largest in the area, with spectacular mountain views. The adjacent courtyard has a sunny lawn with barbecue grills and cabanas. Guests will also find access to two outdoor shuffleboard courts and a ping-pong table under a covered pavilion. A fitness center is on-site, as well as Evzin which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in tiki-setting.

Although there are many reasons why guests flock to the Caliente Tropics Hotel, one of the main contributing factors is that the hotel has such as unique and rich history. Created in 1964, it was once a hangout spot for some of the most famous celebrities of that century, such as Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin. After a major renovation in 2000, the hotel transformed into what we see today, an affordable lodging option that still maintains its charm and culture.
