About the Space

A landmark Palm Springs compound reimagined as a private, resort-style retreat. Fully gated and designed for elevated group stays, the property unfolds across seven individual guest units (8 bedrooms) arranged around a central pool courtyard. Bluestone pathways connect private suites to a collection of shared spaces including a commercial kitchen with outdoor bar, indoor Tiki lounge, gym and sauna, and expansive outdoor dining and lounge areas, all framed by mature palms, mountain views, and curated desert landscaping. Originally built in 1956 and later used by Max Factor as his Palm Springs family retreat, The location was thoughtfully restored and expanded in a comprehensive 2025 renovation led by a renowned design team including Gia Wolff. The project honored the property’s original midcentury spirit while introducing modern amenities, new additions, and a refined landscape, elevating the compound into a true Palm Springs icon for the present era. This exclusive retreat is now available for private bookings.
