Orbit In Hotel - Hotel in Palm Springs - 562 W Arenas Rd, USA

Outstanding hospitality, style and location. The hotel has original 1950s rooms, bar and pool all at the foot of a mountain surrounded by palm trees - it sets the perfect tone for a mid century themed getaway. My wife and I arrived just in time for Orbitini hour with the other guests, many of which have been repeat customers for years. It was the best hospitality experience we've had all vacation, we felt like we were being featured in a slim Aaron's photo! After cocktail hour it was a short walk to the bars and restaurants on the main street followed by an evening swim in the pool and soak in the jacuzzi back at the hotel. We'll definitely stay here again!

Wow, what a fantastic hotel. The retro detailing is exquisite. Enjoy complimentary Orbitini cocktails at the poolside bar and soaking up the 1930's ambience. We had the Rat Pack room, which was truly delightful. We enjoyed lounging by the pool in the morning.

Less review than love letter to Orbit In – a Herbert Burns masterpiece in Palm Springs. Meticulously restored and maintained, each of the 9 rooms is mid-century modern HEAVEN, including authentic and appropriate furnishings and décor. Incredible attention to detail, warm and accommodating service and a fun, low-key vibe (including “Oribitinis” served every day at 5:00) made this the absolute perfect experience for a trip I’ve had in my head for at least 10 years.

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.

Absolutely authentic mid-century modern enclave of peace and quiet. Genuine customer care and Orbitini Hour is the rage. Walking distance to all is the icing on the cake.

We were looking for a unique experience close to the downtown Palm Springs area for a Birthday weekend, and the Orbit In was perfect! Robert was great at welcoming us and showing us the amenities and our room, we enjoyed the pool and evening cocktail before walking down to Palm Canyon Drive for some tiki drinks and dinner. The location was just close enough to easily walk to all the action, but far enough away to be quiet for the evening. It's a great retro experience in an historic district all the way down to the pink bathtub!

This small hotel just west of downtown offers just what it claims to be. Pool great. Staff great. Rooms great. The entire "feel" of the place was 50s, down to the records that you could borrow to play on your in-room turn table. A definite must if you want a true Mid-Century modern experience.

Sadly, we didn't get to stay here because a third party app double booked, but the front desk person was so nice and quick to accomodate us and set us up at a nearby property that we had to give 5 stars. Hope to come back and stay here at some point!
