Palm Springs Preferred Small Hotels has launched its Summer Splash 2026 initiative. This strategic venture features a diverse array of discounted rates, complimentary nights, percentage-based savings, and reduced prices across nearly two dozen of the city's distinctive boutique properties.
Individuals can find deals across various properties — ranging from mid-century modern classics and Spanish-style charmers to brand-new contemporary accommodations and men's clothing-optional resorts — via the Summer Splash 2026 program. The participating hotels offer a wide spectrum of deals, as well, including stay-two-nights-get-the-third-free at Alcazar Palm Springs, 15% off three or more consecutive nights at Town and Desert properties, 30% off stays of three or more nights at The Cactai, reduced rates with complimentary upgrades at Casa Cody, up to 35% off standard rates at Korakia Pensione, and savings up to 30% at Triangle Inn Palm Springs.
