The Perfect Palm Springs Hideaway 🌴

There’s something so special about escaping to Palm Springs for a few quiet days in the sun; especially when it’s time to dream, plan, and set intentions for a brand-new year. Ryan and I recently snuck away to The Lucille Palm Springs for our 2026 planning retreat, and it was truly the perfect place to rest, reset, and get inspired.

This was our second time staying at The Lucille, and it’s safe to say it’s become a yearly tradition for us. There’s just something about this spot… The calm energy, the attention to detail, the genuinely kind staff that makes it feel like a home away from home.

Nestled in the heart of downtown, The Lucille is a true boutique gem. It’s quiet, peaceful, and beautifully designed, with mid-century charm and thoughtful touches that make every corner feel curated just for you. From the serene pool deck to the cozy, sun-drenched rooms, everything about it invites you to slow down and breathe.

Why We Love Staying Here

We came to Palm Springs to do our 2026 yearly planning. We always love to take a few days to dream big, set goals, and create space for new ideas and The Lucille was the perfect backdrop. We started each morning with coffee by the pool, mapped out our plans in the sunshine, and ended our evenings with long walks and cozy dinners.

The best part? It’s incredibly walkable. You can leave your car behind and explore some of our favorite nearby spots:

• 🗿 Forever Marilyn Statue: Just a few minutes away, this iconic Palm Springs landmark is a must-see (and such a fun photo op!).

• 🖼️ Palm Springs Art Museum: Perfect for an inspiring midday break. It’s filled with incredible exhibits and just steps from the hotel.

• ☕️ Koffi North Palm Springs: My go-to for a quick coffee or smoothie before heading out for the day.

• 🥗 Farm: The cutest French-inspired café tucked in downtown. Their brunch is everything — think fresh ingredients, cozy garden vibes, and great service.

The Lucille Experience

Every detail at The Lucille feels personal. From the warm welcome when you arrive to the way the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay special. They truly care, and it shows. It’s rare to find a place that’s both design-forward and deeply personal, but The Lucille has mastered that balance.

It’s the kind of spot where you can spend the whole afternoon lounging by the pool, journaling under the palms, or sneaking in a massage before dinner and still feel like you’re right in the heart of the action when you’re ready to explore.

We left feeling rested, inspired, and grateful, with our 2026 plans mapped out and our hearts full. It’s a trip we look forward to every year now, and I couldn’t recommend it more if you’re craving a little sunshine, stillness, and inspiration.

Thank you again to The Lucille Palm Springs for hosting us so beautifully. If you’re planning your next getaway, this is one you’ll want to bookmark. ☀️💛
