After much research for a boutique hotel in Palm Springs I selected the Rendezvous and it turned out to be a great choice! A friend and I stayed in the Marilyn Monroe room, which is decorated totally in pink with Marilyn posters and decorations. It was very spacious with a couch area, jacuzzi tub and separate dressing/makeup area and toilet.... more

My husband and I headed to Palm Springs for a romantic getaway and Rendezvous exceeded our expectations for accommodations. The staff, Jake, Betty and Karen, became like family in the five days that we were there. We stayed in the Shake, Rattle and Roll Room which was decorated in an Elvis theme. It was a nice size room with a... more

Stayed at the Rendezvous for a long weekend. The staff is more than accommodating and friendly. Stayed in the James Dean room. The room was clean with a refrigerator and microwave. Sufficient space, but not overly roomy. A cocktail and appetizers are available in the afternoon. Good breakfast with fresh fruit, cereal, bagels, coffee and muffins. Also a fresh home... more

We stayed at Rendezvous for one night a few weeks before it officially opened and had a wonderful experience! The women who ran it were so nice and helpful. There were freshly baked cookies in our room upon arrival along with complimentary water and soda in our in-room fridge. They even served us our happy hour martinis and snacks in... more

First the good: The staff (Barb and Betty) went out of their way to make the stay enjoyable. The Ballantine is undergoing refurbishment and my wife and I were treated to a guided tour of the new rooms/improvements. The theme rooms are a lot of fun (Pretty in Pink celebrates Marilyn Monroe, Shake Rattle 'n' Roll is all about Elvis),... more

My boyfriend and I just returned from a weekend at the Rendezvous (formerly Ballantine's) to celebrate my birthday. The B&B is fabulous with 50's style furniture and comfortable rooms. The staff makes everyone who stays there feel so special with cocktails and appetizers at 5pm, great breakfasts, and wonderful recommendations to excellent restaurants that do not belong to any chains.... more

Staying at the Ballatine is like staying with friends. It's a small hotel - only 14 rooms - that surrounds a lovely courtyard with heated pool and hot tub. It has the feel of a Bed and Breakfast with drinks being served by the pool at 5:00 and breakfast in the morning. The view from your lounge chair is spectucular.... more

If you visit Palm Springs, stay here! The different themed rooms are a great idea (we had a tour of all of them!) and a must if you love the 50s! We stayed in the Musicals Room - very spacious and so clean. There's lots of little details ... even a Frank Sinatra CD in a retro looking CD player... more

This place has been used for several photo shoots for fashion magazines, and rightly so – one was taking place while we were there. It's a fantastic place, all in 50s style. Each room is completely different, and most of them face the pool. It's pretty small, they only have 14 rooms. We stayed in the "Douglas Fairbanks, Jr." room... more
