Hotel Wren, a renovated 1940s motel, has recently opened its doors in Twentynine Palms, California. Situated just a short distance from Joshua Tree National Park, this property has been revamped to offer contemporary accommodations while preserving its historical charm. With 12 guest rooms that blend seamlessly with the desert landscape, Hotel Wren focuses on providing a tranquil escape for guests to appreciate the natural surroundings.
The redesign of Hotel Wren prioritized maintaining the original layout and architectural elements of the motel, including steel casement windows. The interior design showcases materials and colors inspired by the desert scenery, such as hand-troweled plaster, custom terracotta floors, and hand-painted tiles. Each guest room is designed to offer a private, suite-like experience with amenities like yoga mats and artisanal teas, catering to relaxation and introspection.
Guests at Hotel Wren can enjoy a communal living space in the lobby, complete with a fireplace and custom millwork, fostering a sense of community and connection to the desert environment. The property encourages guests to disconnect from technology by not providing televisions in the rooms, promoting a focus on nature immersion. Additionally, Hotel Wren features Windsong, a bodega offering a variety of locally sourced provisions and handcrafted goods, aligning with its commitment to supporting local artisans and embracing the surroundings.
As an adults-only retreat, Hotel Wren offers a peaceful atmosphere for those seeking a quiet getaway in the high desert region, with convenient access to the natural beauty and recreational activities of Joshua Tree National Park.
