PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — A new boutique hotel Casa Palma Hotel & Bungalows, located just one mile from downtown and the Palm Springs International Airport, officially opens this summer on the historic site of Errol Flynn’s former Normandy Hotel. The property blends mid-century glamor with minimalist Mediterranean design, offering a tranquil yet vibrant retreat for travelers seeking more than just a place to stay.

“With Casa Palma, our goal was to bring something truly unique to the Palm Springs market,” said Ryan Jaleh, owner of Casa Palma. “We’re speaking to a discerning traveler who’s outgrown the party scene of their twenties but still wants to have a great time. They value beauty, thoughtful design, and exceptional service—but above all, they’re craving meaningful connection and fun reflected in activity, sports, wellness, and shared experiences.”

A Design-Centric Oasis

Casa Palma features 33 artfully designed guestrooms and suites surrounded by citrus groves and mountain views. The original mid-century façade remains, revitalized with an ultra-white exterior accented by bougainvillea, turquoise and gold detailing, and Greco-Mediterranean tiles. Interiors embrace a palette of seafoam green, slate blue, and natural textures, creating a calm, airy atmosphere throughout.

Each room includes walk-in tiled showers, marbled quartz vanities, Malin + Goetz bath amenities, and hand-selected artwork that nods to the property’s past—most notably the preserved lion head water features from its Normandy Hotel days.

Experience-Driven Hospitality

Casa Palma’s amenities are curated for both relaxation and recreation. Guests can enjoy two pools equipped for water volleyball and basketball, a full-size tennis court with pickleball overlays, and expansive lawns designed for yoga or lounging beneath the citrus trees. Fire pits, a barbecue area, fitness center, and complimentary bicycles round out the offerings.

“Every detail was designed to encourage joy, wellness, and connection,” said Jaleh. “Whether it’s a golden hour cocktail, an early morning swim, or a spontaneous picnic, Casa Palma invites guests to slow down and savor each moment.”

Chiquita: A Mediterranean Culinary Escape

Opening in late August, Casa Palma’s signature restaurant Chiquita will serve fresh, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine all day in a stylish indoor-outdoor setting. With a focus on simplicity and family-rooted hospitality, Chiquita reflects the Jalehs’ personal approach to entertaining—elevated yet welcoming.

Seasonal Offer

To celebrate the launch, Casa Palma is currently offering an “Early Access to Paradise” promotion with up to 30% off advance bookings. The offer is valid on select dates and subject to availability.
