“Azure Sky, celebrating its 3rd Anniversary this year, is a luxury boutique hotel in Palm Springs. This 21 and over, 14-room hotel is located at 1661 South Calle Palo Fierro, in Palm Springs, California. The vibe transforms a well-maintained mid-century gem into a contemporary, tranquil desert escape with personal service as a hallmark. Managing Operator Acme Hospitality, which has boutique food, beverage and hotel concepts in Santa Barbara and Nevada Counties has partnered with Real Estate Developer, Henry Courtemanche to bring this project to life.”
“Azure Sky, originally built in 1959, evokes a simple and understated style with unmistakable MCM (Mid-century Modern) elements, offers unobstructed views of the San Jacinto Mountains, an oversized lounge pool with two shallow ends that are perfect for relaxing and imbibing. The property is enveloped by desert landscaping—it is a sanctuary with a peaceful residential feel. Guests are within walking distance of Villa Royale, Ace Hotel, Bar Cecil, and other neighboring boutique hotels and restaurants.”
Upon check-in guests are offered a prepared to order, refreshing Slushy made with natural flavors and ingredients. It’s your choice of Spiked or No Buzz. A light Continental Breakfast (with potential add-ons) is delivered to your door in the Morning in a basket. The guests pre-order the night before and there are options to customize the menu.
“From the spacious lobby, guests step out to take in “the meadow,” a 1,500 square foot courtyard lawn area with a long fire pit at the far end; a perfect place to gather to watch the light change on the palm trees and mountain views beyond. Leaving this first courtyard of rooms, guests wind their way through the grounds to the brand-new pool area, the second focal point of the property. The pool area spans 4,500 square feet with surrounding decking, ample seating areas, a bar, firepit and Jacuzzi.”
“The hotel’s fourteen rooms range from 225 – 620 square feet and include five spacious one-bedroom suites. Eleven rooms are equipped with private patios with hammocks and hangout spaces. The color of the suite doors was inspired by the color of the mountains when the sun first hits them at dawn. Upgrades also include walk-in showers with white, green, and dark mosaic tile; stone countertops; custom millwork; built-in beds; and stone tile flooring.”
