Patio, Pool, Firepit | Queen Studio at Monkey Tree | Hotel in Palm Springs

Tucked into the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, Monkey Tree by AvantStay is a riot of color, design, and desert-cool history. Originally built in the 1960s by celebrated architect Albert Frey — the godfather of Desert Modernism himself — this beloved Palm Springs hotel has lived many lives. Rumor has it JFK and Marilyn Monroe slipped away here for a tryst, and once you spend a night under its palms, you'll understand the allure.
⠀
this pastel-washed studio is your ground-floor escape, opening right onto the pool deck Step inside and you're met with mid-century lines, soft retro hues, and a sense that you've wandered onto a film set from a sun-soaked era. A queen bed anchors the studio, dressed for serious sleep after long days poolside. The tiled bathroom leans into the property's playful design language — modern fixtures, retro details, and just enough charm to make getting ready feel like part of the vacation.
⠀
outside your door, the communal pool is the heart of the property — a turquoise centerpiece ringed by loungers and palm shadows The hot tub is there for slow evenings under the stars, and the cold plunge is waiting when the desert sun has done its work. Common areas are made for gathering, with eclectic furnishings and board games stocked and ready for whoever rolls in first.
⠀
when you're ready to venture out, downtown palm springs is minutes away — think buzzy bars, vintage shops, and some of the best mid-century architecture tours in the country The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, Indian Canyons hiking trails, and Joshua Tree National Park are all within easy reach for day trips. By night, head to Bootlegger Tiki for a strong drink with strong vibes, or settle into Workshop Kitchen + Bar for dinner that lives up to the design pedigree of the neighborhood.
