RESET Hotel is Coming Soon to Joshua Tree
In the heart of California’s high desert, where the rugged beauty of Joshua Tree meets the horizon, a new oasis is set to redefine the art of escapism. Imagine a place where modern design and untouched wilderness exist in perfect harmony. Itās a retreat designed for those exhausted by city life. Every detail offers a chance to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature. Here, the stress of the urban hustle fades, replaced by open skies and endless possibilities.
Enter RESET Hotelāa visionary retreat co-founded by the dynamic duo Adam Wininger and designer Ben Uyeda. This May, as the desert springs to life, RESET will open its doors, inviting guests to embark on a journey of reflection, renewal and, perhaps, a touch of romance.
Destination
RESET isn’t just another hotel; it’s a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. Spanning 180 acres of pristine desert landscape in Twentynine Palms, just minutes from the iconic Joshua Tree National Park, this 65-room haven is the first full-amenities hotel built from the ground up in the area in over 15 years. Each modular room, a masterpiece of geometric simplicity, offers an immersive indoor-outdoor experience. Picture this: waking up to the soft glow of dawn, sipping artisanal coffee from your in-room Fellow station and stepping onto a private patio equipped with a Solo Stove fire pit. Select rooms even boast outdoor soaking tubs, perfect for stargazing under the dreamy desert sky.
The inception of RESET Hotel reads like a modern fairy tale. Wininger, drawn to the rising demand for immersive outdoor experiences, discovered Uyedaās YouTube series on modular home design. With over 20 million views, the series had captivated audiences worldwide. Seeing a kindred spirit, Wininger reached out. Together, they imagined a boutique hotel near Joshua Tree, designed to blend seamlessly with the desertās natural beauty.
“RESET is about more than just a place to stayāitās about creating an experience for stillness, reflection and inspiration,” Wininger shares. Uyeda adds, “By using real materials that make sense for the environment and embracing the power of emptiness, weāve created a space where nature takes center stage.”
Design
Beyond tranquility, this new hotel near Joshua Tree features communal spaces designed to foster connection and creativity. The 3,000-square-foot clubhouse serves as the hotel’s heartbeat, featuring co-working spaces for those mixing work with leisure, a curated retail shop and a cafe and bar that promises to tantalize taste buds. Led by Chef Alvaro Castellanos, a Santa Barbara culinary maestro with Mexican and French influences, the dining experience at RESET Hotel in Twentynine Palms is set to take diners on a gastronomic journey, with a seasonally evolving menu that highlights fresh, local flavors.
For those craving sunshine, the 1,000-square-foot pool and jacuzzi offer the perfect escape. Lounge chairs and cabanas create a serene setting with sweeping views of Joshua Tree National Park. Itās the ideal spot to unwind, cocktail in hand, as the desert stretches before you.
Meanwhile, if adventure calls, thereās plenty of space to roam. With 100 acres of uninterrupted desert, guests can explore, disconnect, and fully immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the high desert. Here, the only distractions are the shifting sands and endless sky.
As the opening date approaches, anticipation is palpable. Future guests can now reserve their rooms through the pre-book offer on the hotelās website. Whether you’re a weary city dweller seeking solace, an artist in search of inspiration or a couple in need of a romantic getaway, RESET Hotel promises an experience that transcends the ordinary.
