We were met at the locked gate to the property by Jade, the manager. He gave us a tour of the grounds and then kept Happy Hour open an extra 10 minutes since we arrived later than expected. From the first Orbitini he served I was hooked. The decor is awesome, from the pink tiled bathrooms to the space age... more

We were there to celebrate a birthday, and the Orbit In was the perfect place for our group. The accommodations were awesome! Dean Martin music was playing in the background as we were given an introductory tour of the turn-of-the-century rooms. Jade was an absolutely wonderful host, and when we met the owners the next day, they were absolutely delightful.... more

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
