"At Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs, we pride ourselves on offering our guests an oasis of modern luxury, relaxation, and memorable, bespoke experiences in the heart of our stunning desert. The Bedside Reading program is a delightful addition to our amenity offerings, perfectly complementing the tranquil, stylish vibe of our hotel.
Our guests love the thoughtful, curated selection of books—whether they are enjoying a page-turner poolside, relaxing in their room, or unwinding with a cocktail in the lobby. Bedside Reading has allowed us to elevate our in-room experience, providing a sophisticated, intellectual touch that feels both personal and luxurious.
From the high-quality, best-selling titles to the seamless digital options, Bedside Reading aligns with our commitment to providing thoughtful, 'nice little touches' that make a stay at the Rowan unforgettable. It is not just about a comfortable bed; it's about the stories we help our guests discover while they are here.
Partnering with Jane Ubell-Meyer and the Bedside Reading team extends the addition of a truly special, cultured experience for our guests.  Thank you, Jane."

Bedside Reading is such a thoughtful, feel-good touch for our guests. The books feel curated, current, and genuinely delightful, and they add an unexpected layer of care to the stay.
