Design, nature and culture meet in Palm Springs or Southern California, every year, events like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Modernism Week, and the Palm Springs International Film Festival – just to name a few – take place. Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs in particular catches visitors’ attention.
The seven-storey building is composed of concrete blocks that are punctuated with pop-out boxes and balconies, providing a sense of movement and dynamism. Inside, the airy and bright spaces are characterised by an urban and minimalist style, with references to the desert.
Its interiors span 153 rooms decorated in blue, green and cream tones — all of which feature artworks and furniture with pure lines. Spread over 232 sq m, the presidential suite occupies the top floor, offering an exceptional panorama.
Awbrey Cook Rogers McGill Architects + Interiors, architects Dion McCarthy and Mark Kirkhart from DesignARC, Powerstrip Studio, Chris Pardo and the design team at Kimpton all contributed towards shaping an architecturally striking project that pays tribute to the Mid-century legacy and modernism of Palm Springs, with a contemporary twist.
Kimpton Rowan features two restaurants (Mediterranean cafe Juniper Table on the ground floor; and rooftop bar and restaurant 4 Saints), and two bars (Window Bar and High Bar).
Kimpton Rowan is located at the foot of the San Jacinto mountains, with easy access to the sandy desert flats nearby.
