About Miracle Manor Boutique Hotel and Spa
Miracle Manor Boutique Hotel and Spa, California is an intimate nine-room wellness hotel on Miracle Hill in Desert Hot Springs, Riverside County, originally built in the 1950s as one of the first spas in the city. Source water at approximately 155 degrees Fahrenheit emerges from the ground on the property and is cooled to 90 degrees in the swimming pool and 104 degrees in the soaking tub. The mineral water is soft, silky, and odorless, with a mineral profile including calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate, chloride, bicarbonate, and silica at a pH of 8.3. Desert Hot Springs is the immediate community.
Miracle Manor sits at the top of Miracle Hill, closest to the geothermal source, in what the property describes as an energy vortex at the convergence of fault lines, geothermal water, mountain peak geometry, wind, and sun. The cold tap water from the local mineral spring was voted best drinking water in the United States. The property has been thoughtfully redesigned with eco-friendly materials, organic amenities, and organic cotton sheets. Across from the Cabot Pueblo Museum, the hotel includes rooms designed by architect Michael Rotondi and designer April Greiman.
The resort is adults only (21 and older), canine friendly, and cannabis friendly.
