Featuring a daily 100% plant-based cooked-to-order gourmet breakfast included in the room rate, The Yucca offers a delectable fusion of ever changing seasonal flavors, prepared with locally-sourced organic produce. Whether it’s crispy garbanzo avocado toast, tofu scramble breakfast tacos or overnight oats with Coachella Valley dates, Guests can indulge in a diverse selection of vegan friendly culinary delights that showcase the finest in local gastronomy.
“The Yucca is more than just a hotel; it’s a profound expression of our commitment to minimum footprint travel and sustainable hospitality. We are thrilled to offer a sanctuary where discerning Guests can unwind, connect with nature, and experience the joys of plant-based living without compromising on luxury,” said Tony and Gaby Aziz, Co-Founders of Heart Core Hotels Collection.
Each simply yet thoughtfully designed room at The Yucca exudes desert tranquility and minimalist elegance, with an aesthetic that seamlessly blends desert-inspired décor and Palm Springs mid century modern comfort. Guests can immerse themselves in stunning vistas of San Jacinto mountains, or indulge in an on site healing mineral water pool and spa.
In addition to providing an exceptional Guest experience, The Yucca takes pride in giving back to the local community through their sister non profit Heart Core Fund. The hotel collaborates with a high school in Desert Hot Spring by organizing travel scholarships for local kids who never traveled before, thus fostering a sense of interconnectedness, tolerance and kindness through the life changing gift of travel.
The Yucca by Heart Core Hotels is now open and inviting Guests to experience the splendor of Joshua Tree and Palm Springs while aligning with their values of conscious living and mindful travel. For bookings and more information, visit heartcorehotels.com.
