About this property
The Margarette: A 1948 Desert Zen Retreat 🌴
The Experience Nestled in the heart of Palm Desert, The Margarette is a curated escape designed for rejuvenation. Originally built in 1948, this property captures the quiet elegance of the desert's heritage while offering the modern comforts of a boutique hotel. It is a strictly Adults-Only sanctuary, perfect for couples seeking stillness and connection. Your Private Sanctuary • Rest: A plush King-size bed draped in premium linens, framed by French doors that invite the morning sun. • Zen Space: A secluded private courtyard designed for morning yoga, meditation, or a slow coffee under the palms. • Atmosphere: Flickering electric fireplace for cozy desert nights and blackout curtains for restorative sleep. Outdoor Living & Shared Amenities • Saltwater Dip: Refresh in our 10 x 30 saltwater pool—gentler on the skin and perfect for a mid-day soak. • Al Fresco Dining: Fire up the brand-new natural gas BBQ and dine under the stars. No reservations required. • The Grounds: You’ll share the lush backyard with only one other unit (2 guests maximum), ensuring the atmosphere remains intimate and peaceful. The Kitchenette Thoughtfully equipped for light meals and morning rituals, including an induction plate, toaster oven, microwave, and coffee maker. Note: Designed for simple prep and easy living rather than multi-course cooking.
