Terra Palm Springs is proud to announce the appointment of Kurt Englund as General Manager, effective February 2025. A seasoned hospitality professional with a distinguished career spanning luxury and boutique properties across North America and Central America, Englund brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Terra Palm Springs team.
Throughout his 30 year career, Englund has worked with industry giants as well as a range of independent properties.

An instrumental figure in the opening of ARRIVE Palm Springs and Colony Palms Hotel, where he served as General Manager, Terra Palm Springs is not Englund's first foray into the Coachella Valley. His deep understanding of the local market and ability to seamlessly blend corporate and creative practices make him an ideal figure to lead Terra Palm Springs as it enters the region's hotel scene.
"I am honored to join the team at Terra Palm Springs and look forward to developing its unique presence in the Coachella Valley. As the first wellness resort in the area, Terra is changing the landscape and raising the standard for what guests expect from hotels in the region. This is an incredibly exciting endeavor to be a part of and I look forward to this new chapter," said Kurt Englund, General Manager of Terra Palm Springs.
