(Undisclosed Address), Palm Springs, CA 92264

Welcome to The Fontenell, a landmark Palm Springs compound reimagined as a private, resort-style retreat. Fully gated and designed for elevated group stays, the property unfolds across seven individual guest suites (8 bedrooms) arranged around a central pool courtyard. Bluestone pathways connect private suites to a collection of shared spaces including a commercial kitchen with outdoor bar, indoor Tiki lounge, gym and sauna, and expansive outdoor dining and lounge areas, all framed by mature palms, mountain views, and curated desert landscaping. Each guest suite operates as a self-contained retreat, offering its own living room, dining area, vintage kitchen (sink, fridge, microwave only), and private courtyard with seating and hammocks. The layout is intentionally designed to balance privacy with connection, creating a setting that feels both intimate and communal, ideal for gatherings, celebrations, and multi-family stays. Originally built in 1956 and later used by Max Factor as his Palm Springs family retreat, The Fontenell was thoughtfully restored and expanded in a comprehensive 2025 renovation led by a renowned design team including Gia Wolff. The project honored the property's original midcentury spirit while introducing modern amenities, new additions, and a refined landscape, elevating the compound into a true Palm Springs icon for the present era. This exclusive retreat is now available for private bookings.

The rental is not intended for parties, nor gatherings at any time of anyone except those who have paid to occupy the property.

Our pool maintenance teams sanitize and replenish chemicals in all pools/spa prior to your arrival.

A $100 refund/night will be given if you are unable to use the pool/spa due to malfunction not caused by Guest(s). ALWAYS SHOWER OR BATHE BEFORE AND AFTER USING THE HOT TUB! Body oil, makeup, hair products, etc. clog filters! An adult must always accompany children. Observe the safety precautions posted at the tub and have all guests do likewise. If temperature has been adjusted during use, MAKE SURE to return the temp to the original setting when done.* Failure to reset may cause the hot tub to over-temp & stop working, possibly resulting in additional charges. Use non-breakable drink containers in the tub area. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE POOL / HOT TUB WATER such as bubble bath & oils, even if they say they are compatible. If the water level is low (below the filter intake) add more water or call, as low water can destroy the pump, resulting in additional charges.
