Looking for a Palm Springs resort for couples? The Muse is an adults-only boutique hotel with nine suites, a courtyard pool, a six-person hot tub and four king suites with private fenced yards. It's built for a romantic Palm Springs getaway: small, quiet and minutes from downtown dinner. Here's what a stay for two looks like, and which suite to book.


Why couples book The Muse


  • It's adults-only. The courtyard is for cocktails and paperbacks, not cannonballs.

  • It's small. Nine suites around one pool, so it never feels like a crowd.

  • Your own yard. Four king suites come with a private fenced yard.

  • The basics are covered. Grab-and-go breakfast from Aspen Mills, parking and Wi-Fi are included.

  • Downtown is close. Dinner on Palm Canyon Drive is minutes away by car.

The suites for two


Brigitte, Audrey, Marilyn and Taylor are the couples' picks. Each has a king bed, a full kitchen and a private fenced yard, so coffee happens outside in your robe and dinner can be a cheese board on your own patio. Who gets Marilyn is a debate we're happy to settle for you.


Most other suites have kitchens too. Compare them all on our suites page before you book.



Spa time without leaving


In-room massages run 60 or 90 minutes per person and book at least 48 hours ahead. Couples treatments are back to back rather than side by side, so plan two to three hours and a very long nap after. See our couples massage guide for more ideas.


A 48-hour plan for two


  • Friday afternoon: Check in, drop the bags, and claim the hot tub before sunset.

  • Friday night: Dinner downtown on Palm Canyon Drive, then back to your yard for a nightcap.

  • Saturday morning: Coffee on your patio, then an early hike or the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway before the heat.

  • Saturday afternoon: Back-to-back in-room massages and a long pool session.

  • Saturday night: A romantic dinner somewhere you have to dress for.

  • Sunday: Breakfast from Aspen Mills, one last swim, and a slow drive home.

When to go


October through May brings warm days and cool nights, the classic Palm Springs season. Summer is hot, often over 100 degrees in the afternoon, which means empty mornings at the pool and very motivated naps. Midweek is the quietest time to visit and the easiest time to land a dinner reservation. Need more ideas for the evenings? Try our date night ideas.
