What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The rooms are not just photogenic, they’re exceedingly comfortable, though they stop short of excess; Studio rooms come with king beds…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Located on North Palm Canyon Drive, the hotel sits right in the Uptown Design District among independent galleries and vintage boutiques.
The rooms
Clerestory windows flood interiors with desert sun, while ground-floor Patio rooms add private outdoor spaces with dedicated gas fireplaces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Cabanas and striped loungers surround the heated outdoor pool, looking out toward the San Jacinto Mountains.
The spa
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Palm Canyon Swim & Social
This open-air poolside venue serves California brunch staples and cocktails on a shaded dining terrace.
The hotel is meant for mingling (and a prime pick for a solo traveler), with marble ping pong tables, fire pits encircled by low-slung seating…
At the table
Beyond the pool bar, you can grab pour-over espresso at Cartel Roasting Co. or date ice cream next door.
How it began
Architect Chris Pardo designed the ground-up 2016 compound, matching its jagged butterfly rooflines to the surrounding San Jacinto Mountains.
“The 32-room Arrive makes the most of its location in the midst of Uptown Design District’s clutch of bijoux galleries and artists’ studios.”
