In addition to its premium accommodations with comfortable Sleep Like a Rock® linens, the hotel will boast 20,500 square feet of ballroom and banquet facility space and an @Biz Business Center. True to its musical roots, Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs will ignite the region with outstanding live entertainment, adding to Palm Springs’ established scene of rich music traditions like the Coachella and Stagecoach Music Festivals. In addition, music and pop culture lovers will be treated to music memorabilia lining the hotel walls from local and global icons, including rock n’ roll legends, hip-hop stars and indie artists alike.
Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs, along with the growing collection of Hard Rock Hotels, will applaud rock-n-roll through brand wide programs, from the on-site VIBE managers, who keep a pulse on the hotel’s feeling, atmosphere and energy, to the groundbreaking, interactive amenity “The Sound Of Your Stay®,” where guests jam out with hands-on music experiences. The Sound of Your Stay® offers Hard Rock fans three components: Tracks®, where guests receive an exclusive code to download a personal playlist, curated by music pros and celebs for the ultimate soundtrack to the hotel experience; Picks®, offering fans a menu of 20 Fender® guitars for an in-room jam session complete with amps and SOUL by Ludacris headphones; and Mix®, where music fanatics match beats and remix like a pro with the in-room delivery of a Traktor Kontrol S2 mixer, a laptop loaded with digital mixing software and SOUL by Ludacris headphones.
