Local Business Spotlight: The LGBTQ+ Center Palm Springs

Updated: Jun 3


The LGBTQ+ Center of the Desert, a local nonprofit near The Muse Hotel in Palm Springs

If you're staying at The Muse Hotel, you’re already immersed in the heart of Palm Springs—a city known not just for sunshine and style, but for its deep-rooted LGBTQ+ pride. And just minutes from your door is a place where that pride lives year-round: The LGBTQ+ Community Center of the Desert, known affectionately as The Center.

🌈 More Than a Building—A Community

The Center is one of those rare places where everyone feels seen. It’s a hub for wellness, creativity, support, and advocacy—serving LGBTQ+ folks of all ages and backgrounds across the Coachella Valley. Whether you're a local or just passing through, there’s something welcoming about walking into a space that’s actively working to make the world a little more inclusive, kind, and connected.

From youth programs and senior resources to support groups, cultural events, and health services, The Center is truly the heart of Palm Springs’ LGBTQ+ community.

☕️ Grab a Coffee. Attend a Talk. Join the Vibe.

Even if you're just visiting, you're invited to engage. Stop by and check out their community events, shop local art and goods in the lobby, or simply grab a coffee and soak up the sense of belonging that fills the space.

Planning a longer trip? The Center often hosts:

  • Wellness workshops and meditation sessions

  • Support and discussion groups

  • Art exhibits and book clubs

  • Pride events and community volunteer opportunities

No pressure—just an open door and a chance to connect.

Palm Springs is a place of celebration, but also of community—and The Center is where that magic happens every day.
