The 2024 PAMLA Conference is being held at the lovely 4-star Riviera Resort Palm Springs. The Riviera Resort Palm Springs is a tropical desert oasis in the heart of the Palm Springs Uptown Design District. The hotel has a classic retro Hollywood vibe, a favorite hangout for Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. Cher, and other Hollywood stars. The hotel combines a chic, mid-century Palm Springs aesthetic with Riviera’s casual-deluxe island feel.
Just minutes from downtown Palm Springs and the Palm Springs airport, and a reasonable car ride (about 75 minutes) from the Ontario, California airport, the Riviera Resort includes a variety of guest room types, two lovely resort pools, six dining outlets, the soothing St. Somewhere Spa (Palm Springs’ largest resort spa), and the Riviera Conference Center, the site of our PAMLA conference (and thus just a brief walk from your hotel room). Plus, the brief walk or Uber or Lyft ride to downtown Palm Springs makes the resort the perfect place to stay for our conference, plus a scholarly vacation in lovely, sunny Palm Springs.
The Riviera Palm Springs Resort hotel rooms come equipped with air-conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi in rooms, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, safes, and ironing boards. You will also receive, if you make your reservation as part of our PAMLA block, a discounted rate ($169 plus tax), discounted resort fee ($20 a night vs. the normal $46 nightly resort fee), free parking at the resort, and fitness center access.
Even if you live in the area, please consider making this PAMLA conference a Scholarly Staycation by staying for a night or three at the Riviera Palm Springs Resort. By staying at the conference hotel you will get to fully participate in the warmth, camaraderie, intellectual stimulation, and culture and arts of PAMLA 2024 while also experiencing all that Palm Springs has to offer! Without even using a car, you can walk or take a brief Uber or Lyft ride to various restaurants, bars, shopping centers, movie theaters, local attractions, and the Palm Springs Art Museum.
Should you wish to reserve your room for additional nights outside of our PAMLA block, you may need to call the Riviera directly, asking for a room reservation at the PAMLA rate: (760) 327-8311. Be sure to identify yourself as part of PAMLA so as to receive our special PAMLA rate.
