Design Hotels has expanded their presence in California with the addition of Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills (pictured below) and Avalon Hotel & Bungalows Palm Springs. The Avalon Hotels exemplify Design Hotels’ design-driven luxury mindset, providing urban oases for discerning travelers in two of Southern California’s most storied locales.

“We have been a fan of Design Hotels for some time and are honored to partner with this brand in their expansion in California,” says Brian De Lowe, President & Co-Founder of Proper Hospitality, who manages both Avalon properties. “Design Hotels’ confidence in Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills and Avalon Hotel & Bungalows Palm Springs is a testament to our shared love of iconic buildings, great design, personalized service and lasting memories.”

“We kicked-off our partnership with Proper Hospitality early this year, and we are very excited to grow this collaboration,” says Claus Sendlinger, CEO of Design Hotels. “It’s an all-around natural fit and we look forward to a long-term relationship built around common values and a genuine passion for culturally-rooted hotels.”
