or family member," says Kurtz. Accessible through the center
courtyard where a heating pool, hot tub and seating allow guests
to enjoy the beautiful surrounding panorama, the bungalow-style
rooms also have an effortlessly chic look with Casper mattresses,
100% Egyptian cotton sheets, framed squares of Gucci floral
wallpapers and pieces of spin art that add pops of vivid colors.
In the bathrooms, guests can relax in glazed-tile showers while
using products by L.A.-based brand Further.
Interested in offering a complete experience, Kurtz carefully
considered the type of service he wanted to give his guests.
Instead of a typical hotel breakfast, picnic baskets with yogurt,
granola, fruit and croissants from a local French bakery are deliv-
ered to all rooms every morning. At night, the hammock garden
and rooftop deck are the perfect places to observe the stars. In
the gift store, candles, ceramics, organic body oils and mini cacti
are some of the products available, while in the beer and wine
shop, the selection is local.
With restaurants, cafes, boutiques and museums within reach,
and Joshua Tree National Park just 40 miles from Palm Springs,
Les Cactus has a lot to offer when it comes to the variety of
activities. Casual yet chic, vibrant yet soothing, for this eclectic
boutique hotel, the inspiring journey has just begun.
