The Westcott is a hidden gem in Palm Springs, offering a peaceful and stylish retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are individually decorated and create a relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The hosts are incredibly welcoming, providing delightful cocktails and communal dining experiences that enhance the stay. However, since the hotel is still in the process of renovation, there are a few areas that could use some additional attention. Overall, the experience was top-notch, and I can't recommend it enough!

I had a wonderful experience at this boutique hotel in Palm Springs. The decor is sophisticated yet maintains a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect retreat. The breakfast spread is out of this world with plenty of options, and I can confidently say it was one of the best I've had. The only downside might be that some rooms are a bit small depending on what you’re used to, but the comfort of the mattress made up for it. Overall, a fabulous stay that I'd definitely recommend!
