Korakia Pensione - A Mediterranean-Moroccan desert retreat with two saltwater pools, historic villas, and mountain views
Spanning 1.5 acres in Downtown Palm Springs, Korakia Pensione houses 28 individualized Mediterranean and Moroccan villas across two historic properties. The Palm Springs hotel features two heated saltwater pools surrounded by fountains and fire pits, with views of the San Jacinto Mountains. Dating back to the 1920s, the Moroccan Villa showcases carved wooden doors and a rose petal-filled fountain courtyard, while the Mediterranean Villa incorporates North African architectural elements. Guest accommodations include rooms with stone bathtubs, private patios, full kitchens, and wood-burning fireplaces. Each morning begins with complimentary breakfast in the Moroccan courtyard, followed by coffee delivery to rooms. The property sits five minutes from Palm Canyon Drive's shops and restaurants, and 10 minutes from Palm Springs International Airport.
Pros
Historic 1920s property that once hosted artists like Grant Wood and celebrities including Rudolph Valentino
Traditional Moroccan tea service and crystal-infused water available in the lobby
Complimentary amenities include cruiser bikes, morning yoga sessions, and outdoor movie screenings
Distinctive room features like copper bathtubs, private outdoor showers, and mountain-view balconies
Cons
Adults-only policy excludes children under 13 years
No portable speakers allowed in pool or patio areas
“I found that its unmodern design felt deliberate and rigorous, particularly appealing to those drawn to bohemian environments. The service struck me as casually attentive. I imagine couples seeking romantic getaways, or individuals looking for wellness retreats, would find the Moroccan and Mediterranean aesthetic to be a real treat.”
