Practice Hospitality Selected to Manage Mojave Resort in Palm Desert
The 24-room Mojave Resort in the exclusive Coachella Valley enclave of Palm Desert has engaged Dallas-based Practice Hospitality to oversee hotel operations and spearhead upcoming renovation.
"We could not be more delighted to take stewardship of this desert gem, lead it through much-needed improvements and guide the hotel into a brilliant new chapter," said Bashar Wali, Founder and CEO of Practice Hospitality. "Infusing properties like the Mojave Resort with new life, handcrafting truly unique destination experiences and creating value in the real estate is a great example of the way we offer the hotels in our portfolio so much more than management."
Tucked away just one block off the town's dynamic main thoroughfare, El Paseo, the Mojave Resort was built in the 1940's and most recently updated at the turn of the last century. Now, it is being readied for a new renovation to begin in summer 2022. When completed this winter, updates will breathe new life into the hotel's guestrooms and dreamy private courtyard with improvements to the pool, spa, and seating areas as well as the addition of food and beverage offerings and amenities.
The California property joins the much-anticipated Drifthaven at Gearhart, a bespoke beach getaway opening on the Oregon Coast this month; Hilton Dallas Park Cities; and Conde Nast Traveler "Best in the South" award-winning Hotel Colee, an Autograph Collection hotel in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood, in the Practice Hospitality portfolio.
