Hotel El Cid by AvantStay | 16 OCC Full Hotel Buyout in Palm Springs w/ Pool!

* This is a full hotel buyout of Hotel El Cid, consisting of 7 rooms that can accommodate a total of 17 people.*

Welcome to Hotel El Cid! Love boutique hotels, but hate what happens once they're discovered? Here's the ideal hideaway for you. Designed for one-group stays, we have five completely new, bungalow-style units that offer a fun, Cal-boho style. The walled grounds feature a large pool, elegant cabanas, dining tent, firepit, BBQ, outside shower, and more to make your stay unforgettable.

El Cid is ideal for groups of friends, reunions, retreats, and gatherings of all kinds. Because you'll be the only guest here during your stay, you'll never have to worry about strangers intruding on your privacy. The hotel was completely renovated down to the studs in 2016, with all new EVERYTHING. We've designed the hotel to provide a simple, comfortable, uniquely Californian style--true to the spirit of Palm Springs.

All AvantStay guests have access to our 24/7 guest experience line, a dedicated hospitality manager, and hotel-grade amenities.

Fabulous place for a group getaway

I can’t imagine a better place for a group/large family getaway (especially during Covid). We had plenty of space, large bathrooms, gorgeous pool area and cozy fire pit. The place was incredibly clean and management was very responsive. I would recommend this place wholeheartedly.

Best family reunion ever!

We had 12 family members stay here and we loved every moment, including my 93 yr old mother who found the handicap room easy to navigate with walker. It’s just a fun, cool, lovely property. The rooms are spacious and it’s close to hiking trails and center of town. I hope to return to this property again!

Loved everything about our stay at Hotel El Cid!

Upon arrival, the host graciously helped us unload our car before the property tour, THANK YOU!! We loved the layout of the house, it worked amazingly having the separate units for a larger group. The house was super clean and well maintained. We would 100% stay here again next time we have a large group get together in Palm Springs.

Property and management exceeded all expectations

The pictures do not do the property justice. The pool and fire pit areas were fantastic. The rooms and kitchen we’re all very well appointed and easily/comfortably accommodated our group of 10 adults & 5 children. Property management was always prompt and helpful 24/7. The location was perfect-close to downtown, restaurants etc. We will definitely book this property again.

One of the most beautiful properties in Palm Springs!

I had a group of about 18 people to celebrate Halloween, gay pride and a milestone birthday at Hotel El Cid. All I can say is that the hotel was beyond all expectations. Impeccably decorated, perfectly clean, and just wonderful. The pool was heated to a perfect temperature, there were plenty of places to relax and get sun by the pool. We really appreciated the poolside bar, and very large table for meals outside. We will most definitely be back!

Perfect for Our Family

This is a wonderful property for any large group. Our family of 8 adults and 4 children had a great time here. The main rooms are spacious for group meals and gatherings and the separate attached bungalows offer privacy when needed. All bedrooms are very spacious and the kitchen well-appointed and well-stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the quality of bedding, towels and bathroom amenities. The pool area is terrific and we made good use of the fire pit. It's in a convenient location and being able to walk to town is a plus.

Best Bachelorette Party Venue

Hotel El Cid was the perfect location for my bachelorette party! The location to the downtown was perfect for a morning walk and a quick Uber ride back from dinner. The house itself was incredible with surprises around every corner (ex. costumer closet). The decor was perfect for a girl's trip with chic cabanas near the pool and a cozy firepit in the center of the property. The owner/staff were easy to work with and accommodated all our questions during booking. They also helped us identify concierge services in the area before arriving and were made check-in a breeze! 10/10 would recommend!
