Miracle Manor Boutique Hotel & Spa

I'm honestly hesitant to write a review because I want to keep this amazing gem to myself. I've been going to Desert Hot Springs for over 35 years and have stayed at many places to take in the waters. I have finally found home. This is the place to bring your broken bones, damaged nerves, aching heart, frayed spirit, arthritis, and/or mommy/daddy issues and heal. Bring your pain and give it to the water. This is the place to be still, supported and nutured. The waters are flow through and completely outdoors, just like nature intended. The sulfur vapors vary, but can be strong at times, so the fresh desert air is an important component. Tempers range from a perfect 92 in the larger pool, 105 in the hotter tub and whatever your heart desires in the private tubs. Be careful when using the private tubs, as the natural temperature of the water coming out of the ground will cook you. Luckily, they have thought of everything and provide an ice cold spigot that's directly connected to the aquifer along with the mineral tap. The rooms are my grandma's level of clean. Dust was afraid to darken her doorstep. This place had me the moment I touched the sheets. Grandma used to iron her sheets on both sides. Their sheets are almost as crisp. No tv, no phone, no radio. Just pure peace. Small fridge with amazing drinking water is provided as well as coffee, tea, and an electric kettle. Mugs, glasses and spoons are there as well. There's an ice machine and water bottle refill on premises too. The staff is amazing. "Amazing" doesn't even capture who they are. They noticed that I wasn't eating their bread, so the next morning, they handed me the most beautiful bowl of yogurt with dried goji berries and slivered almonds lovingly sprinkled on top along with my breakfast. There's a level of nurturing that they give that leaves me teary-eyed as I write this. If you are willing to do the work and heal, this is your place. If you want a quiet place to simply "be," come. If you want to party, go elsewhere.

A little piece of zen just a couple hours away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. The rooms are clean and comfy with a mid-century boho vibe. But the real treasure is in the hot mineral pools. Truly relaxing and healing. This place has me returning time and again since the late 90s. Experience the magic and the miracle of this special place. I bet you will find yourself returning for years to come as well.

One of the most magical places I’ve been to! I’ve been several times over the last three years and always enjoyed the beautiful, spotless rooms, the warm hospitality of Danielle, and the healing waters. It’s the perfect place to unwind, while having the opportunity to enjoy Palm Sprigs or Joshua Tree which are both easily reachable.

Miracle Manor has become my go-to spot for true restoration. I always forget to tip the housekeeping staff when I leave because I am so blissed out. And that is terrible because the place is so super clean! Once you walk on-site, you want to put away the smartphone and fully drop in to the magic that is MM.

The Miracle Manor, true to its name, is a quaint desert miracle. Unassuming from the street, the boutique property combines vintage charm with (mid century) modern luxury. Sweet personal touches included locally roasted coffee, Turkish bathrobes, and eco-friendly bath products. Danielle was every bit as lovely a host as every other review details. Breakfast was outstanding; facilities were well-maintained. This would have been a 5/5 stay had it not been for the room. The “mini queen” was at the parking lot/entrance of the property which had the most foot traffic (noise) and windows were at ground level allowing the room very little natural light and no view (except for in the bathroom shower). I booked directly with the hotel so was disappointed not to have been offered another room since only one other couple was staying at the resort. But all things considered, it was a solid 4/5 otherwise.
