THE WILLOWS

Marvelous place, a lovely property. It is quiet and yet only a short walk to the very busy Palm Canyon drive. We stayed in the Tahquitz room, an independent unit with its own lounge area. Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning. The breakfast area is a treat, with a little waterfall. The Inn does not have a restaurant per se, but there are plenty of choices nearby. The staff were uniformly cheerful and helpful. Parking is included on the property.

Beautiful Desert Luxury As full-time Rancho Mirage residents, my husband and I decided to have an overnight date night in Palm Springs. We had dinner at Johanne’s and a show at The Plaza theater. We have stayed at many boutique hotels in the area as well as most of the luxury hotels. The Willow Inn was on my wish list. It did not disappoint. It is an outstanding example of old Palm Springs luxury. It is at the end of Tahquitz Canyon Road. Very quiet and peaceful but also a two block walk to downtown. We reserved the Einstein Room. A part of the estate that Albert Einstein would stay on his frequent visits to Palm Spring. The room is beautifully appointed with antiques and a wonderfully comfortable king size bed. The room is stocked with water and snack which are all included gratis. The room charge also includes a 3-course gourmet breakfast in the most beautiful rooms and porches. The room has four doors and includes a private patio with breath taking Mountain View’s. There are many optional paths and stair to take you to some of these panoramic views of the mountains and valley. Staff were incredible. Professional and personable. They blend into the resort but are always at your service within seconds if needed. Five star resort and a 10 star experience

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay in the San Jacinto room. It is a very spacious room with a comfortable sitting area. Very little drawer/storage space as there is no dresser, only an antique console (very classy, but not practical). Room description stated "original bathroom," which had us a bit concerned. No need for concern. The bathroom was spacious, well maintained, and spotlessly clean with a modern walk-in shower. The private outdoor entrance was very convenient. I will add my note caution to that of others about the breakfast. There is only the set menu. No substitutions or additions. We enjoyed the breakfast but had to have certain items deleted. I would suggest that they at least display the next day's menu so you could make a decision in advance if you wanted the offered breakfast. Also, it would be hospitable to have a coffee/pastry set up earlier in the morning for us east coast folks who wake up very early. Their website photos are very accurate. Overall, we would return to the Willows and highly recommend it.
