Palm Springs – There is a new small boutique hotel being planned for construction on North Palm Canyon Drive being planned by Ezra Callahan – a young early employee of Facebook.  It’s being touted as a potential clubhouse of sorts, a la Ace Hotel,  for those who love style and green construction.

Arrive Palm Springs – may be soon to arrive

The 32-room hotel will be called Arrive Palm Springs.  There are other partners in this exciting project – a Seattle architect, a Denver-based restauranteur, and two men working in redevelopment in Los Angeles.  Once the plans get approved through the city, these developers are saying they want to break ground early in the new year and be open by the 1st of July.

The project’s architect has said that “Arrive will cater to the next generation of global travelers influenced by culture, fashion, design and sustainability.”  He also says that Palm Springs was targeted for this project because of “its appreciation and affinity for modern architecture, design-oriented population and geographic positioning as a world class vacation destination.”

That pretty much says it all.  And it’s likely that Arrive Palm Springs will stay in the same genre as Palm Springs’ modernist architectural traditions.  In addition, the hotel will be built so as to receive LEED Gold label certification, with its 32 pre-fabricated guest rooms.  There will also be a restaurant and two additional retail buildings to encourage more pedestrian traffic on North Palm Canyon Dr.

Exciting things on tap for our Valley indeed !!!
