Before it was Old Ranch Inn, it was Silver Palms.
The umbrellas were yellow. The mountains were unchanged.
A photograph from the property’s earlier chapter in the 1980s, when desert afternoons unfolded poolside beneath the San Jacintos and Palm Springs moved at a slower pace.
Every old hotel is a collection of lives briefly intersecting in the same place. This image captured a few of them.
Forty years later, the pool is still here. So are the mountains. The stories continue.
And a few things haven’t changed about the appeal of staying here: you’re still just a short walk from downtown Palm Springs, parking is still easy, and unlike many resorts, there’s no resort fee.
Book your desert adventure today and become part of the next chapter.
