The curb appeal on this three-bedroom home makes it an undeniable contender for one of the best Palm Springs Airbnb rentals. The rental is a spectacular example of a butterfly roof construction, an architectural style from architect William Krisel. Although luxurious, the home keeps sustainability on the mind, using the highest grade materials, green-focused appliances and technology, and solar and heat-pump technology, which makes the space fully self-powered.

Each room sets its own scene, thanks to carefully considered windows overlooking the landscaping, built-in seating, and the open-plan kitchen.

This one-bedroom studio is located in The Wesley, a centrally located hotel with a massive pool and jacuzzi. You’re a minute drive from the downtown neighborhood and close to a number of golf courses if the greens are calling to you.

Another self check-in hotel rental option, this minimalist king-size suite has everything you need for a comfortable stay—and nothing you don’t need.
