If you go to PS in summer, it's unbelievably hot. So when we found out that Orbit had a pool cooler we were sold. This is a terrific little hotel and perfect if you want to take a step back in time to Palm Springs golden era. The staff here are also genuinely nice and the rooms are immaculate. You'd... more

I am so happy and excited to share with everyone what a wonderful and unique experience it is to stay at the Orbit In. For a long time I have intended to stay at a refurbished mid-century hotel in Palm Springs and knew of the Orbit In from prior stories I have read about it in magazines and newpaper travel... more

My boyfriend and I planned a weekend getaway with our friends to celebrate his birthday at the Orbit In and we could not have been happier with our decision! We decided to rent out all nine rooms so that we could enjoy the entire place to ourselves--something I highly recommend if you are celebrating a birthday or other special occasion.... more

We loved staying here! Such a cool property - small, stylish, fab pool, friendly helpful hosts, central to everything. We had the Bossanova room - large, comfortable, great mid-century furnishings, great big comfy bed and even a turntable to spin some Sinatra vinyl on... Would definitely go back and spend more time enjoying 'Orbitinis' poolside. Highly recommended! more

Our family has holidayed in Palm Springs 5 out of the last 7 years and love its relaxed atmosphere. We have usually stayed at the Hyatt Regency Suites, which is now really starting to show its age. This year we decided to try something different and were so pleased with our choice. The "Orbit In" is not just a fine... more

We had a group of 18 and rented out all 9 rooms at the Orbit In for a friend's birthday weekend. The owners and manager are amazing and very gracious! We had the best time. We are all in our 30s and just loved this hotel. We utilized the 3 block walk to Main St, the pool, the sun, and... more

What a great place--welcoming hosts, immaculate room with terrific midcentury style. The owners informed us that the place was restored--and what a terrific job was done in that regard. We arrived just at cocktail hour--complimentary wine, "Orbitinis" (sake plus fruit juice) at the poolside bar. Pool was great--kept cool and refreshing. For those who love modernism, this place is perfect.... more

Outstanding experience. Only 8 rooms and a friendly, diverse clientele. Built in 1947 and decorated in mid century style. Rooms are up to date, free wifi, nice pool. 5 pm social hour with free "Orbitinis" and wine. Management is low key and very welcoming. Highly recommended. more

Myself, my boyfriend, my parents and another couple who are long time family friends, recently spent the weekend at the Orbit In (we had 3 of the 9 rooms). All of us would highly recommend staying at this unique, friendly, fun hotel. You feel as though you have stepped back into a relaxed, yet more exciting time the minute you... more

We had a truly wonderful week at the Orbit In. The facilities are first rate. It's like a deluxe trip back to 1955. Everything ties together from the record players in the room (with a large collection of 50's recordings available at the office), to the 50's furnishings and decor, to the lava lamps at the bar. The facilities were... more
