Curator empowers independent hotels to remain competitive while preserving the distinct identity of each property. Through strategic vendor partnerships, negotiated service agreements, collaborative marketing opportunities, and shared industry expertise, members gain the advantages and value of a larger network—without compromising their independence.

“We’re excited to continue Curator’s growth with the addition of these outstanding hotels,” said Jennifer Barnwell, President of Curator Hotel & Resort Collection. “These new member properties not only expand our presence into new cities throughout California, but also further strengthen our already robust footprint in the state, now representing more than 35 independent hotels. Each property truly reflects what Curator stands for: independence, thoughtful design, and deeply rooted community connections.”

The newest members of Curator Hotel & Resort Collection are:

Royal Sun Palm Springs (Palm Springs, California): Where Palm Canyon Drive meets the majestic San Jacinto Mountains, this stylish 66-room desert oasis blends mid-century charm with modern comfort. Inspired by Palm Springs’ mystic allure, Royal Sun features a vibrant pool house, bar, and restaurant, inviting curious travelers to connect and explore.

Guesthouse Hotel at La Valle (Rancho Santa Fe, California): Nestled in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe, this coastal-casual retreat offers a relaxed California getaway where North County charm meets boutique style. Steps away from golf, racquet sports, wellness offerings, and sun-filled moments between Del Mar and Solana Beach, the property blends laid-back elegance with the inviting comforts of San Diego. The property features spacious rooms, local touches, and a setting designed for slowing down. Guests can savor fresh, seasonal Southern California flavors—from handcrafted cocktails to casual bites—while taking in views of the rolling hills.
