We just got back from our stay at the Orbit in Palm Springs, and I have to say it was one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. It was quiet, calm, and elegant, with incredible 360° views that made it easy to relax. The woman who runs the place was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the complimentary snacks and drinks were a great touch. Every room has a record player with a library of vinyl records to enjoy, which really adds to the mid-century vibe. Our room also had an outdoor shower in the back (I'm not sure if every room does), and it was such a unique and relaxing feature. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing design and outstanding hospitality, I can't recommend The Orbit enough. 10/10. We'll definitely be back. read more

The welcome drink, the set up of the rooms/common areas + the whole vibe is so immaculate. Location is amazing, staff is amazing + rooms were sooooo CLEAN + cute! This place might have the best housekeeping we've ever experienced. I can't wait to return + have already recommended this spot to friends! read more

The Orbit In appears to be a converted 1950's apartment complex. When we arrived, we were greeted by Bill. He was friendly, fun, and incredibly helpful. He went to great lengths to show us around and help us understand all the amenities available to us. There are about nine rooms here, and we stayed in the Rat Pack Room. The room had a full period kitchen, period bathroom, and period living area with a comfortable king bed. In the room is a record player, and there are records you can borrow from the office to play in the room. The TV has many Chanel's from which to choose. The WiFi was strong. The couch and armchair couldn't be more comfortable. The 1950's theme is carried well throughout the room There is a jacuzzi, fire pit, outdoor bar (Bill offered, and we accepted, a complimentary glass of wine), Keurig available 24 hours, a common outdoor fridge stocked with snacks and sodas. We met and talked with a couple who have been coming here for 15 years. I completely understand why. We will return! read more

Cool, hip little boutique hotel with a 50's flare. Second time we have stayed here and love it. The 50's vibe is so cool. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The rooms and pool area are always clean. We love walking out of our room and being steps away from the pool. They don't allow personal music or partying by the pool, which keeps the riffraff out. They do play a little music on their speakers, but wish it was slightly louder so you could hear it. The mornings are nice grabbing breakfast at the outdoor bar. We love this place and will be back. read more

PARADISE! This place is still as wonderful as always. The new manager Robert is great. We loved Bill the previous manager but learned he moved on (don't assume the new owners let him go, not the case) and we enjoyed getting to know Robert. It's obvious that Robert cares about the hotel and about his position and he even noticed leaves on our patio when our gate was open and swept them up himself! POOL: The pool is very clean and well maintained. I observed the pool professionally serviced twice during our stay and every office employee personally skimmed the pool daily. Great layout around the pool with options for shade and the vibe is so RELAXING. This is not the hotel for a pool party, it is truly a replenishing and wonderful place to soak in the sun. AMMENITIES: Orbit In provides the use of beach cruisers, some with baskets for fun rides around town. There is a closet full of books and games to use by the pool or in your room. They have record players in every room and a vast library of vinyl to choose what you like. A sunscreen selection and bug spray is offered by the pool. They have a great poolside bar area where guests can make coffee or tea, a microwave for guests (which is great to hear up dinner left overs) as well as a nightly ORBITINI cocktail served to guests where you can get to know the other guests and socialize. And last but not least, a fridge full of sparkling water and soft drinks and yogurt for guests to enjoy. There are granola bars and instant oatmeal for snacks too! STAFF: The ladies that maintain this hotel do an AMAZING job and work their butts off in sweltering heat. Much credit is due to the ladies that keep Orbit In beautiful! Very nice too! This hotel is a GEM and it's great to see the new owners are not trying to change it. They are all only improving it. My husband and I love to watch movies in our room when it gets too hot and I learned they are upgrading TVs soon so that is wonderful. For those of you that have been here before and worry that new owners mean Orbit In will lose the things that make it special, don't. It's clear that the Orbit In remains in good hands! read more

If you are considering staying here, do yourself a favor and just book the room. If I could give Orbit In more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. My boyfriend took me to Palm Springs for my birthday and Kevin and Jinny made it one of the best birthdays I had ever had. We loved exploring Palm Springs but being able to come back to the Orbit In at the end of each day was the highlight of my whole trip. We stayed in the Rat Pack room which was so spacious with a kitchen, large bed, and a super cute pink bathroom! The hotel is incredibly clean and absolutely gorgeous. If you're a vintage furniture lover, you'll be in heaven. They have a fridge full of sparkling waters, drinks, and yogurts for their guests. I absolutely LOVED the happy hour and drinking orbitinis with other guests. The pool is heated to a very comfortable temperature and the hot tub is so relaxing. I had never tried a salt water hot tub until I stayed at Orbit In and now I don't want to use anything else! I can't thank Jinny and Kevin enough for being so welcoming and kind to us. Staying at the Orbit In was the relaxing weekend I needed and now I'm looking for an excuse to go again!! Absolutely wonderful hotel and wonderful people. read more

My wife and I have loved visiting the Orbit Inn. This year we had to cancel our reservation but the office failed to record our request. Imagine our surprise when we saw a $1255 charge on our credit card. The Orbit Inn's management team was deceitful and unwilling to acknowledge a simple miscommunication. Our warning to anyone wanting to spend a few days in Palm Springs. Please find another hotel. read more

This is a long overdue for Orbit In. My planned trip to Portugal this year had to be placed on hold due to this whole COVID craziness, so at the last minute I ended up in Las Vegas for a few days and then out to Palm Springs the week of July 4th. I ended up at Orbit In and could not have asked for a better experience. The place just oozes vintage mid-century modern! The rooms are all individual and decorated with a theme. I stayed in the Frey Lounge for the first half of the week which celebrates the architecture of Albert Frey. It has a fireplace (I couldn't get it to work, but to be perfectly fair, I also didn't say anything about it or ask for help), and an outdoor shower, which was amazing! Then I moved next door to BossaNova Ville (someone had already reserved this room for two days in the middle of my stay) which has a vintage Platner chair. I loved the coziness and privacy of the room. The pool is salt water and is so warm and relaxing! They have a fridge with sparkling waters (all different flavors), sodas, and juices. And around 5:00 or so, they have a happy hour with Martinis and wines. I never took part, as I was the only single person during my visit, but it looked cool! Plus, I'm a bit of an introvert. The owners were wonderful, and Bob made sure I had everything I needed. They even gave me a T-shirt just because. Oh! Did I mention the record players in each room, and the giant record collection in the office? Nothing like a little Sinatra while relaxing in the Frey Lounge. The best throw-back experience I've had in quite awhile. I will most definitely be back! read more

We've been going to the Orbit In for over 10 years. I'm sad to report that our go-to getaway has completely changed - but not for the better. The previous owners (Kevin and Jinny) sold the hotel last year and now the terrific manager (Bill) has left as well. The new owners appear to be systematically deferring much needed maintenance, eliminating amenities and raising prices. All of this was apparent during our most recent stay in April. The Orbit In was a special place with great memories for us. Sadly, unless something changes, we will be looking for a new go-to in Palm Springs. read more

Here's to a new tradition. Loved every relaxing moment of this modernistic desert oasis. Robert, the manager was beyond friendly, very helpful, and we really enjoyed his company. Nothing is overly fancy here but you have everything you need--most importantly peace and quiet. The Orbit In is tastefully decorated, it's very clean and there are nice little touches like snacks, a common fridge full of drinks, and a daily cocktail hour to chat with the guests. There's only 9 rooms here so you make friends fast. We met a couple who had been coming here for 20 years. Look forward to doing the same thing! read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars!!!! From the second I stepped foot on this property, I was IN LOVE!! Bill is the nicest guy and went so far above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of at all times. Then you step foot in the room and it's like a traveling back in time! The rooms (especially the pink bathroom) are amazing! The esthetic, decor, and vibe of Orbit In are so amazing. I was so sad when it was time to go home. If I could, I would move in immediately! I've already told 10 friends about it (they saw my pictures and wanted to book their own trip) and cannot wait to come back soon!! Definitely come check this place out! It's one of the best places I've ever stayed!!! Thanks Bill, Jade, and Orbit In staff!! Xo read more

Orbit In - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I have been wanting to stay at the Orbit In for about a decade. And it wasn't until I moved to Los Angeles that it was finally feasible. My fiancee and I decided to stay at Orbit In on the weekend that would have been our wedding weekend (which was postponed because of Covid). The Orbit In was once a residential property and since was converted to a hotel. It has nine rooms, which made our stay particularly pleasant, because there weren't many people around. In addition, the hotel is adults-only, so it was nice to not have boisterous children playing around in the pool. It's also easier to make friends with other guests, especially during Orbitini Happy Hour at 5PM. The hotel is exceptionally clean. Both the grounds and the room we stayed in were impeccable. Their cleaning staff (super nice ladies, BTW) apparently has been with them for a long time, which you rarely see in any hotel. The furnishings were so lovely. We had comfy mid-century furniture to sit on, and the bed was soft. We even had an adorable vintage kitchenette, complete with a mid-century refrigerator and stove (which work). A toaster, silverware, and cups/plates were also provided. If you love mid-century modern anything, this is a place you should stay in at least once (OK, maybe way more than that.). The pool area has comfortable pool loungers and striking vintage metal umbrellas. I'm not one to usually go lay out by a pool, but in this case, I enjoyed hanging out by pool and reading the news on my phone. The soft bossa nova music on the speaker was a nice touch. Not too loud, but just audible enough to add to the ambiance. There is an icemaker and a refrigerator that is stocked up with sparkling water, sodas, yogurt, and coffee creamer. There is also fresh coffee every morning, single-serve oatmeal, and granola available. Unfortunately, they aren't able to offer the continental breakfast as usual due to the pandemic, but what they do offer is still generous. The pool is incredibly refreshing (salt water, no chlorine), and both os us enjoyed taking dips to cool down. At night, the hot tub was awesome. There is even a fire pit you can turn on, further adding to the relaxing feel. Kevin and Bill are absolutely wonderful and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. They are extremely attentive and sociable, so if there is something you need, don't be afraid to ask! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Orbit In and look forward to returning! read more

Another special boutique hotel in the oh so special Palm Springs (home sweet home). This is a mid century modern little gem that transports you to another era, that's what you want right?! Rooms adorned with vintage decor and a record player in each room to add to the nostalgic experience. The hotel is nestled against the mountain. Look up and see soaring palms, beautiful mountains and houses perched within. (sigh) It is walking distance to Palm Canyon Drive too. The rooms surround a saltwater pool. This is awesome! Thank you for the chlorine free experience. They serve Orbitini cocktails at happy hour from 5-6pm. This gives you the Rat Pack experience as you spin a Frank Sinatra Album in your room. They also serve a basic continental breakfast to get your day going. If you want a special experience that takes you away come visit Orbit In. read more

Can't comment on our stay because we didn't get to stay. I booked a room on booking.com & received a confirmation. Then I got a subsequent email saying we were booked for 0 nights for $0... so I called the hotel directly. Turns out the room was double booked & we got screwed out of our room. So disappointing. read more

These reviews are not inflated,.. this place is special. Top experience as far as hotels go. I'm not a pool sitter but I love mid-century modern architecture, and in fact the whole throwback thing is why I like Palm Springs,.. this place is a like a time machine. From the record player in each room, to the retro details, to the manager's shirt,.. this place is like a time machine and I loved it. Other reasons to go (just don't book when I'm going!!): -Orbitini cocktail hour at 5pm -site manager has extensive historical knowledge of the area -walkable from the strip -very few suites so it feels private, and no kids allowed! -5 min drive from airport! read more

We loved this place 20 years ago and we still love it now. The vintage atmosphere is so relaxing. The owners are so nice and had the pool heated up nicely for the cooler winter months.

I hate giving good reviews but FINE! So this place is good for you if you appreciate vintage right down to the loungey pool music. Its super small so don't go there expecting a party even though they do have a martini happy hour! The room we stayed in was small but had everything we needed, fridge, plates, cups, napkins, a lil private patio and bluetooth record player. And again, vintage bathroom, pink tile, sink and toilet. They also let you use one of their many albums. They usually serve continental breakfast but during covid just coffee, yogurts, granola and instant oatmeal. They also have a water cooler and a fridge with soft drinks thats available 24 hrs. Also offer snacks in the lobby, when someone is in the office. Lastly, location! Walking distance to downtown, maybe 10 min?? We'll definitely be back! read more

I cannot get ENOUGH of Orbit In! I wish I could be here all the time - this is what heaven is, in my dreams . So authentic mid-century modern - I love every little detail the owners have put into this place...it's clearly a passion of theirs, and not just a business. This is an experience, not just a "room" or a "stay". If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Peaceful and low-key...truly an oasis in this crazy world! read more

we went back to the orbit in for our summer 2023 trip to palm springs. we stayed there a couple times over the years but like to try out the boutique hotels in palm springs. it was great to be back. the new owner really seems to be trying to keep the experience the same. there's still the very important orbit-ini hour, records & games for entertainment, a clean pool & a quiet/relaxed vibe. this is not a party hotel & that's why we love it. there are 9 rooms so it doesn't get crazy there. we will definitely be going back next year. robert, the new manager, does a great job filling the big shoes that bill the old manager left behind. he is very knowledgeable of palm springs & has great stories to share. we had a great time! thanks orbit in. read more

I loved this little place! It's a refurbished hotel from 1957 and it has so much personality! The owners Jean and Kevin made me feel so welcome. When I arrived, Jean showed me all around and explained the amenities - drinks at the bar at Happy Hour, water cooler, breakfast items in refrigerator (yogurts, cereal, milk, etc.) Keurig coffee maker, tea, ice machine. The pool is large and inviting and there is also a jacuzzi! Bikes are available for guests and there were plenty of them. Each room is a bit different but all are creatively furnished with vintage Mid Century Modern finds to make your stay a step back in time. My room had a kitchenette and a private patio. The cleaning staff is amazing. There's a checklist for the surfaces they have cleaned, so I felt like everything was thoroughly disinfected. Also, the linens did smell very strongly of scent. I asked if I could get unscented linens for the bed and Kevin made it happen. Excellent customer service at Orbit In! There are cozy robes and towels for the pool in the closet. In the morning, it was heaven to sit outside by the pool sipping coffee with those mountains in the background. So beautiful and the perfect getaway. One of the best parts about this place is that you can easily walk a few blocks away to the downtown shops and restaurants. I was here for a wedding and when I was all dressed up in the middle of the day on a 95 degree Saturday, I checked with Jean about the location of the church (less than a mile away), as I had planned to walk. She kindly drove me over. Jean and husband Kevin are the kindest, most thoughtful hosts and run a fantastic business. I have already told my family and friends about this hidden treasure. I want to come back and am dreaming about my next trip! read more

This was my 4th trip back to the ORBIT IN and it just gets better and better! I had been having a really rough week. Had the loss of a close friend and really wanted a getaway. When I think of friendly, peaceful, fun, relaxing, stress free environment, I think of the Orbit In! I called, made my reservations and took off. I went first to the Twin Palms room, which was adorable. I arrived Wednesday evening due to the 112 degree weather in Palm Springs that day, so I chose to drive in the evening. I arrived, the keys were on the bed waiting for me. The room was clean, very hip in the ultra mod mid century modern style of the Orbit In. I had a fantastic nights sleep! The beds are amazing. So very comfortable! The next morning I woke up around 6:30 am. I am an early riser these days. I knew there were guests that week from all over the world, needless to say I was super excited to meet them. I have to say, the environment at the Orbit In encourages being able to be relaxed and be friendly to your neighbor. That is one of the things I love most about the Orbit In. I came out of the room to find a guy running up to the coffee machine behind the bar. I had a friend flying in to meet me over the weekend and wanted to document the time he missed, so I asked for a photo of the first person I saw, and he kindly obliged! Then the second, and so on. I was entertaining myself for sure. At 8:30 Am the Orbit In has a breakfast spread of bagels, English muffins, raisin bread, variety of spreads, yogurts, fruit, granola, and juices. There is coffee behind the bar. During breakfast I had an opportunity to meet the other guests, and asked if anyone would be interested in some 80's trivia around the 5 o'clock martini hour, which is a blast and signature at the Orbit In. I am always prepared with games. I don't know why I brought the cards but I did. Everyone seemed enthusiastic, so I would be game master for an evening. I have to tell you it was a fantastic time. The hotel had Smarties in the office they let me use for the game, Players were in the pool, winners won smarties! Then of to the Bossa Nova Room! WOW! It was beautiful. King bed, a full bathroom fifties style with pink tile, a bath tub and double sinks. Upon entering there is a writing desk, fantastic chairs, a record player, DVD player, and a television. Not to mention free Internet. I never wanted to come home. There was a full patio that over looked the hill side. The view was breath taking! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owners Kevin and his wife Jinny. They are wonderful, and so very accommodating. These people are super mellow, full of life, and a blast to be around. They run a wonderful Hotel business. There is nowhere else I will stay in Palm Springs. The Orbit In is it! They have created my perfect getaway! Thank you! read more

UPDATE: Just returned from another visit to Palm Springs & the Orbit In. Had a great time. Stayed in the Cha Cha room this time.. while a lot smaller than some of the other rooms (and without a kitchen), we did have our own large private patio with an outside bar. The manager Al did a great job making us feel welcome. Love the O.I.! I loved my stay at the Orbit In! I randomly discovered it online awhile ago while looking up midcentury modern stuff in Palm Springs. It sounded really cool and swanky. I went in mid-August, which is the "off" season (because of the high temperatures), so we had the lowest rate of the year. It was $159 a night plus tax, so it came to $177 a night. Minimum stay is two nights. Orbit In was built in 1955 and was originally a small studio apartment complex called the Village Manor. When Orbit In opened around 2000, it had been restored to its heyday by the new owners. It's on a quiet residential street with homes and other small boutique hotels. There are 9 rooms so there will never be more than 18 guests at a time. No one under 21 allowed :) Each room is decorated with a different retro modern theme, such as the "leopard lounge" (where we stayed), the "atomic paradise", the "twin palms", and the "rat pack room". All rooms have the original pink-tiled bathrooms, and most rooms have kitchenettes with original stoves and mini fridges. There are also private back patios and one room has a private outside shower! There's a very clean salt water pool to soak in and lots of rafts to float on. Everyday from 5 to 6pm there's "Orbitini hour" where the manager pours complimentary sake cocktails and you can hang out and drink with the other guests. When we were there, there was a sudden desert storm and even though it was pouring rain all over the bar, the manager Al still served us all the Orbitinis we could drink. There's lounge music coming from the speakers near the pool, and it sets a fun, retro vibe. The continental breakfast is pretty big.. bagels, muffins, yogurt, fruit, all kinds of drinks. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I loved all the vintage pieces inside. It was so cool :) There was even a martini shaker and glasses on a tray in every room, should you feel the need to shake some drinks. We had such a nice, relaxing time here hanging out by the pool and talking with the other guests about midcentury modern stuff. It's within walking distance of all the nearby restaurants, although if you go in August like us, I would recommend driving or waiting until the sun goes down! I can't wait to go back, but I may have to wait until June because while Orbit In is awesome, I don't think it's worth $279 a night, which is the winter/spring rate. Also, I'm not going to reveal my sources, but there is some amazing thrift store shopping in the area! read more

This place is fantastic! We can't rave enough about its charm, views, staff, decor or vibe. The mid century design and decor are wonderful. Our room had such a romantic vibe with great fireplace, outdoor shower and little bar. The bed was comfortable! We flew into Burbank and drove in late to beat traffic for a few days getaway. The hotel front desk was closed, but they had us all setup when we arrived late. They provided a code to let us in without problem. We pulled up to park directly in front, punched in the code and...We walked though a well designed and landscaped entrance to the most amazingly sweet piece of mid century design. I was simply delighted and actually skipped to our room! Check out our pano pix for view. So accommodating! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the outdoor shower super romantic. They offer a lovely continental breakfast and the bar is open all day for refreshments. You can borrow bikes and ride downtown for a bite or to shop. Love the staff! I needed a razor and they had men and women's to offer, plus shaving cream. There are record players in the room and a bunch of movies and games you can borrow. They even have wine you could buy. Every detail thought out. We can't wait to come back and stay longer. 25 trillion stars. read more

Orbit In - Delicious Orbit-tini served at Martini hour! - Hotels Near Me - Palm Springs, California

This was my first time visiting Palm Springs and based on the yelp reviews, I chose the Orbit In. I have to say that I was very satisfied with my experience! I'm more used to staying at larger hotels when I go on vacations, so I was very pleasantly surprised by the friendly service and community feeling of this smaller hotel. Like many of the hotels in the area, it features handsome mid-century modern architecture and funky furniture. Unlike a lot of other hotels in the area, Orbit In is more colorful and appeals to young and old alike. Staying in a smaller hotel, I felt more part of a community rather than feeling isolated in my own room. I made friends and even some "adoptive parents" who were concerned about me staying out too late or missing the 5 o clock happy hour. That made me feel good. I thought about staying at another place thats more quiet, but Orbit In seems to be the right balance of relaxation and fun. The hotel's in a great location. Its within walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants. Elaine gave me the suggestion of visiting "Johannes" and I had really great meal there. If you want to see something that slightly beyond walking distance, you can borrow a bike. I never seen any hotel offer that and I thought that was really nice! I really needed a break from work and this hotel really added to my brief Palm Springs/Joshua Tree excursion. When I was tired, a little time by the pool was very rejuvenating. I would highly recommend this place to others and would come back to this place again! read more

I can't say enough great things about this place! It's a small, boutique hotel located within minutes of downtown. The salt water pool is so refreshing. They offer bikes to explore the neighborhood.

What a lovely place and extremely friendly safe very clean rooms.. entrance to our room..

I have been wanting to stay at Orbit In for years and was finally able to do so. The rooms are adorable and everything is well kept and perfectly clean, which is a big deal for me. The location is perfect and easily walkable to many restaurants and bars. The pool is extremely quiet, so it is a great place to bring a book. There is a fridge near the pool with non-alcoholic refreshments. It kind of feels like you are in somebody's back yard - very chill and relaxed. Definitely need to go back! read more

We absolutely love it here. It's a step back in time to the 50's and 60's. It's so impeccably clean and well taken care of. I even noticed the owner Kevin scrubbing each patio chair mid day. These little details matter. The pool is perfect, I love the high quality floaties, and the jacuzzi area is so cute. This was our 6th time here as we are avid midcentury architecture lovers. The owners Kevin and Jinny are so welcoming and nice. And the Orbit-inis at happy hour is a must. read more

This place was the perfect base for a very fun and relaxing getaway.... It's right in the heart of the downtown area and close to all sorts of hiking, shops, spas and restaurants. The building and landscaping are fun and does take you back in time. The furniture was different than the norm and very comfortable but not as midcentury as I had hoped. Furniture like that gets very expensive so it makes since to keep it a little more simple. The rooms do have record players and old records from Bossa to Sinatra available which really gave it a special feel and was a big plus in my book. The Orbit has a pool, free bikes available and a nice hot tub area with a fire pit which is great to end a nice Palm Springs day..... read more
