TheJunipero

The Junipero is a striking contemporary compound comprised of a two-bedroom house covering 1,600 square feet with a full kitchen and three bungalows, two with full kitchens, one with a mini-kitchen.

Decorated in sheer whites and shades of sky and azure blues with accent art, its peaceful, dream-like ambiance is a perfect complement to Palm Springs sun-filled outdoor environment. Managed by Champagne Sundays, the group who brought you the desert chic Amado hotel, the Junipero offers a 24/7 professionally run hospitality experience.

High quality furnishings, natural and organic textiles and original art feature are featured in all living spaces. The Junipero can be booked separately as three bungalows and one main house or the entire property can be rented at once to host 12 people for holidays, celebrations, reunions, or retreats.

An artist's view of the tranquil sea helps calm you into beautiful dreams in the airy comfort of each suite.

A welcoming and attractively landscaped patio and open area contain an outdoor dining pavilion which seats 12, a large Weber BBQ, an aquamarine pool and spa, six chaise lounges, sun shades, a fire pit and plenty of places to work on your tan.

Located in quiet Chino Canyon, The Junipero is a two-minute drive from the Uptown Design district and is easily accessible by the free Palm Springs Buzz.

Ask about the Junipero's Bees' Knees cocktail made with Junipero gin; it's a refreshing concoction to enjoy at twilight after a day of sun.
