Palm Springs Hotel With Jacuzzi in Room? The Honest Answer

A Palm Springs hotel with a jacuzzi in the room is rare, and The Muse isn't one of them. What we have is a six-person hot tub in the courtyard, shared by nine suites, and on a Palm Springs hotel buyout that hot tub belongs to your group alone. Booking for two? Our four king suites with private fenced yards are the next best thing to a soak of your own.

Do any Palm Springs hotels have a jacuzzi in the room?

A few do, but "jacuzzi suite" means different things on different booking sites. Sometimes it's a jetted bathtub in the bathroom. Sometimes it's a hot tub on a private patio. Sometimes it's the shared spa by the pool with a generous photo angle.

Before you book anything, check three things:

• Where is it? Bathroom tub, patio spa or shared courtyard.

• Who else uses it? Just your room, the whole hotel or the whole resort.

• How many fit? A two-person tub and a six-person hot tub are very different evenings.

At The Muse, the honest answer is simple. No suite has an in-room jacuzzi or its own hot tub. The six-person hot tub sits in the courtyard with the pool.

What's the hot tub like at The Muse?

It's part of a small courtyard built for long afternoons. The six-person hot tub, the pool, the outdoor fireplace and the pergola swings all share one courtyard. With only nine suites sharing it, the wait is rarely long.

Everything you need for a night in is nearby. Grab-and-go breakfast from Aspen Mills, parking and Wi-Fi are included, and downtown Palm Springs is minutes away by car for dinner before the late soak.

How do you get the hot tub to yourselves?

Book the whole hotel. The whole hotel. Just your group. A full buyout gives you all nine suites and nine bathrooms for up to 22 overnight guests, plus the pool, the hot tub, the outdoor fireplace, the swings and the BBQ grill. Nobody else checks in.

Six people fit in the hot tub at once, so big groups run it in shifts. The people waiting take the fireplace, and somebody always appoints herself timekeeper. Music is welcome at reasonable volumes until 10PM. Our hotel buyout explainer covers how booking works.

Planning a hot tub weekend for two?

Pick one of the four king suites: Brigitte, Audrey, Marilyn or Taylor. Each has a king bed, a full kitchen and a private fenced yard, so morning coffee happens outside and the hot tub waits in the courtyard for after dark.

Add in-room massages before the evening soak. They run 60 or 90 minutes per person and book at least 48 hours ahead, and couples treatments are back to back rather than side by side. Our spa and massage guide has more ideas, and the romantic getaway page has the rest of the weekend.

Where can you soak in mineral water near Palm Springs?

Head to Desert Hot Springs, the small city just north of Palm Springs that's known for its naturally hot mineral water. Plenty of visitors stay in Palm Springs and make the short drive for a spa day. Our Desert Hot Springs vs Palm Springs guide explains the difference between the two towns.

When is the best time for a hot tub in Palm Springs?

October through May, after dark. Days are warm and nights are cool, which is exactly what a hot tub is for. Summer afternoons often top 100 degrees, so save the soak for late evening, drink more water than seems necessary and keep sessions short.
