PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A 1940s mid-century pool property on North Palm Canyon Drive, Alcazar leans into its bones: kidney-shaped saltwater pool, terrazzo floors, arched doorways, with design touches that make every corner feel considered. Hand-painted tiles, locally sourced art, and private patios frame the San Jacinto Mountains. Clothing-optional and adults-only, it carries a genuine counterculture spirit rooted in Palm Springs' LGBTQ+ history. Cheeky's and Birba are directly adjacent, both owned by the same person.OWNER STORY
Alcazar sits between two restaurants the owner built from scratch on North Palm Canyon Drive: Cheeky's, a scratch-cooking breakfast spot that opened in 2008 with a weekly-changing menu, and Birba, the al fresco Italian restaurant that followed on the adjacent lot in 2011. The hotel came alongside Birba, giving guests the unusual arrangement of walking out the hotel gate directly into places with genuine ownership behind them. The owner runs cooking programs for children, showcases local artists across the properties, and operates a nonprofit food truck that turns surplus restaurant food into meals for Coachella Valley families.
