Despite the falling economy, Palm Springs  has two large hotels undergoing multi-million dollar renovations.

The Hyatt Regency Suites Palm Springs is wrapping up a $15 million dollar transformation in October 2009, and a $20 million dollar conversion of the Wyndham Palm Springs will raise a new flag as the Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel at the Convention Center in March 2010.

Both hotels are in downtown Palm Springs, close to everything. 

This past year,  two other new hotel resorts have opened in Palm Springs. The legendary Riviera Resort & Spa along with the trendy Ace Hotel and Swim Club (which used to be the old Howard Johnson’s Hotel)  are attracting a new generation of hipsters who love the Palm Springs vibe.
