A Place In The Sun Hotel & Villas
Boutique Palm Springs Hotel – 17 Units, 11.31% Cap, Major Upside & Hollywood Pedigree
Marketing description
Ryan Kawai Sanchez and Mitchell Glasson are pleased to present the exceptional opportunity to acquire the historic 17-key A Place In The Sun Hotel & Villas in Palm Springs, CA. Originally built as a private film production retreat in 1951, this walled-and-gated garden oasis is perfectly positioned to capture the high-ADR boutique traveler. Located just minutes from the Design District and downtown’s core, the property benefits from a steady base of high-end leisure demand driven by iconic events like Coachella, Stagecoach, and Modernism Week.
The hotel also draws consistent year-round activity from the San Jacinto mountain views, world-class golf, and the city's legendary mid-century modern tourism. Additional demand is fueled by its versatile unit mix, featuring villas with full kitchens that cater to the lucrative "extended stay" and private buyout markets. With limited boutique competition offering this level of privacy and historical soul, A Place In The Sun offers investors an attractive opportunity to capture reliable, premium demand in one of the most resilient hospitality markets in the country.
