Market intel · Palm Springs
What’s about to change in this market.
Over the next 12 months, Palm Springs short‑term rental performance will be driven more by regulatory changes and a major new downtown hotel opening than by entirely new mega‑events or transit projects. The recent tightening of the vacation-rental ordinance is likely to constrain supply and favor high-quality, compliant STRs on ADR, while new hotel inventory and downtown activation will intensify competition around the core submarket.

Adoption of Ordinance 2118 Amending Palm Springs Vacation Rental Rules
On November 12, 2025, Palm Springs City Council adopted Ordinance 2118 amending Section 5.25.070(b) of the City’s Vacation Rental Ordinance, changing how violations accrue and how the city can suspend or revoke permits for problem properties.[3] The change is aimed at more effective enforcement against nuisance and non-compliant operators.
Stricter enforcement and a clearer path to suspension/revocation will likely push some marginal or non-compliant STRs out of the market over the next 12 months, effectively capping or reducing active supply while demand remains healthy.[1][3] Fewer available legal units generally support higher ADR for well-managed, compliant properties and improve occupancy for remaining inventory, especially in peak March–April season.[1]

Opening and Ramp‑Up of Thompson Palm Springs by Hyatt (Downtown Lifestyle Hotel)
Thompson Palm Springs, a new Hyatt lifestyle hotel at 414 N Palm Canyon Drive in the heart of downtown, is being actively marketed to travelers with packaged stays, indicating opening and ramp‑up through 2026.[2] The property sits steps from the Palm Springs Walk of Stars and close to the Art Museum and La Plaza Historic District, positioning it as a high-visibility entrant to the core market.[2]
The hotel adds professionally managed, design-forward rooms in the most demand‑dense part of Palm Springs, increasing direct competition for upscale downtown STRs on a per‑night basis.[2] However, branded lifestyle hotels typically expand overall destination appeal and marketing reach; this can lift total visitor volume and benefit STR occupancy citywide, with the biggest ADR pressure on comparable downtown condos and small homes nearby.

Destination Demand Tailwinds with Stable but Growing STR Market
Recent market data show Palm Springs has about 3,340 active short‑term rental listings, with supply growing roughly 5% year‑over‑year while both revenue and nightly rates have continued to rise, indicating that traveler demand is outpacing new inventory.[1] Average ADR is about $534 with a 37.5% occupancy rate, long average stays, and booking lead times around 69 days.[1]
A demand environment where revenue and rates increase faster than supply supports continued ADR growth for well‑positioned units, especially during the March–April peak.[1] Over the next 12 months, operators who lean into early‑booking patterns and differentiate on quality/amenities should be able to push rates without materially sacrificing occupancy, particularly as regulatory pressure trims weaker competitors.[1][3]
