The City of Palm Desert Architectural Review Commission has approved preliminary plans submitted by AO Architects on behalf of Kamla Hotels for a new TownePlace Suites by Marriott extended-stay hotel.
The hotel is being planned for a 2.87-acre parcel located within the area known as the Monterey Crossing Specific Plan within the mixed-use center.
The design plans envision a four-story, 128-room, 67,568-square-foot hotel east of Monterey Avenue and north of Dinah Shore Drive. The hotel’s suites will feature living and sleeping areas, fully equipped kitchens, free hot breakfast, and free WiFi, among other amenities. The proposed Palm Desert location would have 131 parking spaces and an outdoor pool.
The specific plan for Monterey Crossing, approved in 2017, is an 18-acre mixed-use commercial center that includes drive-thru restaurants, shops, and retail buildings, a car dealership, and up to a four-story hotel. Major current tenants include Wal-Mart Supercenter, Sam’s Club, Kohl’s, Ashley Furniture, PetSmart, and numerous smaller retailers that have been built and operating for several years.
