Property Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a premier hospitality development site in the heart of one of Southern California's fastest-growing wellness destinations.
Located at the corner of Ocotillo Avenue and 6th Street, this exceptional 0.76-acre corner parcel (APN: 639-272-013) features approximately 129 feet of frontage on Ocotillo Avenue and 235 feet along 6th Street. Just one block from Palm Drive, the city's primary commercial corridor, the property offers outstanding visibility, accessibility, and exposure to both local traffic and the region's growing visitor base.
Formerly the site of a hotel, the property is well positioned for redevelopment with all major public utilities available adjacent to the property and within the street.
Zoned Visitor-Serving Commercial (VS-C), the site is intended to support tourism, hospitality, and visitor-serving commercial uses. The zoning allows for boutique hotels, full-service hotels, destination resorts, hot mineral spring spas, wellness retreats, and hospitality projects utilizing the city's renowned geothermal mineral waters. Attached residential development is also permitted at densities of up to 15 dwelling units per acre. Buyers should verify all permitted uses and development standards with the City of Desert Hot Springs.
Desert Hot Springs continues to establish itself as a premier wellness destination, attracting hospitality developers, boutique hotel operators, spa brands, and investors seeking opportunities within the Coachella Valley. Its proximity to Palm Springs, Joshua Tree National Park, and other major attractions supports year-round tourism and long-term investment potential.
Whether envisioned as a boutique hotel, destination spa, wellness retreat, branded resort, or mixed-use hospitality development, this highly visible corner parcel offers an exceptional opportunity to create a landmark project in one of Southern California's most promising hospitality markets.
