Auric House

Auric House

A unique historic home in Palm Springs unites the privacy of a residence with the personalized services of a boutique hotel. Auric House is a lovingly reawakened 1930s Spanish Revival adobe ranch-style home in the Historic Tennis Club neighborhood, a short walk from Korakia Pensione. It sits in the shade of the San Jacinto Mountains, only a few blocks away from the restaurants and design scene of downtown Palm Springs.

Step across the threshold, and you’ll be transported to the early days of a newly glamorous Palm Springs in the 1930s, where the quiet of the afternoon is only interrupted by the sounds of your own guests in the courtyard’s Moroccan-style tiled pool. Auric House appears just as it did when it was central to the neighborhood’s social scene, the home of a prominent local hotel owner who was also the rumored inspiration for the Buster Brown comic strip character penned by his father. A rare example of a carefully preserved early Palm Springs home influenced by Mediterranean climes, its hand-cut stone floors and thick adobe walls are now the foundation of a contemporary, easy retreat.

Enjoy a poolside massage in the cool of a stone portico, host a fully staffed dinner party, and take in all the offerings and namesake rituals of our petite resort in a family-friendly sanctuary. This is the Korakia experience at its most exclusive.
