Outstanding experience. Only 8 rooms and a friendly, diverse clientele. Built in 1947 and decorated in mid century style. Rooms are up to date, free wifi, nice pool. 5 pm social hour with free "Orbitinis" and wine. Management is low key and very welcoming. Highly recommended. more

Myself, my boyfriend, my parents and another couple who are long time family friends, recently spent the weekend at the Orbit In (we had 3 of the 9 rooms). All of us would highly recommend staying at this unique, friendly, fun hotel. You feel as though you have stepped back into a relaxed, yet more exciting time the minute you... more

We had a truly wonderful week at the Orbit In. The facilities are first rate. It's like a deluxe trip back to 1955. Everything ties together from the record players in the room (with a large collection of 50's recordings available at the office), to the 50's furnishings and decor, to the lava lamps at the bar. The facilities were... more

The Orbit In (O.I.) is the perfect place for someone seeking the best of the old Palm Springs. The location allows guest to hide in the heart of the city without being discovered. The O.I. is ideal for the pressures of the entertainment industry or anyone trying to escape daily life. The greatest aspect of the place is time goes... more

I was referred this hotel by a good freind of mine (that stayed there last year) and was completed surprised by the A PLUS treatment that we got there. I was an event planner for ten years so I know what to look for in hotels in terms of atmosphere, customer service and room service. The Orbit In exceeded ALL... more

OK, if you havent stayed at the Orbit In you are missing out. We had such a great time that coming home was a bummer. I have been going to Palm Springs for over 25 years and this was by far the most amazing place I have ever stayed. Great host (love you AL) great room, great pool My husband... more

This was a fantastic hotel and we had a great time here. Kevin and Jinny were excellent hosts, very kind and welcoming. This place is unlike any other hotel you have ever stayed in. As it only has 9 rooms, there is a very social atmosphere. We met some lovely people and we all went out for a great meal... more

Orbit In is one of the hippest and coolest places to stay in P. S. It is in a perfect location for walking, to restaurants, to the town center. The rooms are wonderful, very mid-century modern. The beds are so comfortable. It is a small place with 9 rooms. People who stay there are the happiest and friendliest you will... more

My wife and I recently had our wedding at the Orbit In & Hideaway resort after extensively researching the available boutique hotels in Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and Palm Dessert. Upon visiting the Orbit In, meeting the new Owners (very very nice and doing a great job), and then walking over to The Hideaway resort we were confident that our... more

Loved our recent stay at the Orbit In-- well worth the 4 days and 3 nights we spent there. The staff was super friendly and not mention very accommodating. Our room was comfortable and nicely decorated (stayed at the Leopard Lounge) with mid century modern theme. Cool amenities at your finger trips-- from the continental breakfast to happy hour. We... more
