Nestled against the spectacular San Jacinto Mountains in the heart of Palm Springs, Casa Cody is the oldest operating hotel in town, founded in the 1920s by female pioneer Harriet Cody, cousin to the legendary Buffalo Bill. In the early 1900s, Harriet and her husband, Harold Bryant Cody, traveled by wagon from Hollywood to Palm Springs. They settled on the land to become Casa Cody and built a home. By the 1920s, Harriet established the property as a hotel, and it became the stomping grounds for legends of the Los Angeles arts community visiting the desert. Charlie Chaplin, American Opera Singer Lawrence Tibbett, and AnaÏs Nin spent time on property, particularly in the Adobe House, where a stage was built. Tibbett’s piano was kept below the House for performances and parties. Casa Cody’s history is kept alive through a thoughtful collection of historic family photographs, desert-inspired artwork, and historical tale-telling with our guests. We love telling our story.
