The Yellow Door | Curated Mid-century Bungalow | Ocotillo Lodge

Welcome to The Yellow Door — a light-filled, mountain-view ground-floor bungalow at the iconic and storied Ocotillo Lodge, home of Palm Springs’ famous champagne cork pool (one of the largest in town). Built in 1956 by renowned architect William Krisel and the Alexander Construction Co., the Ocotillo Lodge is one of Palm Springs’ mid-century gems. Steeped in Old Hollywood glamour, the resort once welcomed icons like Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, the Rat Pack, and now you!

Recently renovated with thoughtful attention to the property’s mid-century roots, The Yellow Door offers a relaxing “ultimate hotel suite” feel — with all the comfort and convenience of a well-stocked home.

The unit is a one-bedroom bungalow with a private landscaped patio designed for seamless indoor/outdoor living — the quintessential Palm Springs experience. You’ll be just steps from the pool, facing the San Jacinto Mountains.

As our guest, you’ll enjoy full access to Ocotillo Lodge amenities, including the iconic pool, two spas, fitness room, Sunshine Bar (outdoor unmanned bar area), fitness room and desert landscaping and shared grounds.
